This home originally featured a faux Spanish‑tile metal roof installed over the existing cedar shake roof back in the mid‑1990s — a common shortcut at the time that unfortunately led to leaks in multiple areas. By the time we inspected it, water intrusion had compromised both roof layers and sections of the decking beneath. At Deskins Siding & Exteriors, we took the home down to the bones and rebuilt it the right way. We removed both roofs, re‑decked the entire structure, and installed a GAF Timberline HDZ roof in Charcoal, giving the home a clean, modern look with industry‑leading protection against Houston’s heat, humidity, and storms. During the process, we also repaired rotten siding and fascia, restoring structural integrity and curb appeal. Because the original metal roof had extended up the walls, we finished the project by repainting the entire exterior with Sherwin‑Williams Emerald Rain Refresh, a premium coating designed to resist dirt, mildew, and UV damage — perfect for Houston’s climate. The result: a watertight, energy‑efficient, and visually striking home that blends timeless design with modern performance.

We at ABC Blind & Drapery work hard to update our website with all of our latest products and projects so that you can make decisions from the comfort of your own home. However, we also think it is important to accommodate those who prefer to touch and see our products in person at our drapery and blinds showroom. Located at 6221 North Lamar Blvd., it is open for those who would like to come in and discuss your options. This is also where customers are able to drop off any products that need repair, as we are able handle typical repairs such as restrings or replacement of cord-locks. In our showroom you will be able to see some of our retractable options in action, a variety of our products installed as examples, as well as browse through our numerous sample books. We especially like to show folks the power of solar shades and how they are able to dramatically reduce damaging UV rays and heat from the Texas sun, while maintaining control over the amount of light allowed in. It is within this space that customers are able to meet with a designer and truly imagine the possibilities, as the options are endless.

The Aquamarine frosted-blue window tint treatment on this entryway door makes for a serene and beautiful entrance. Both extremely chic and private, this opaque frost offers total privacy without shutting out the light completely. Avoiding the heat absorption of transparent glass doors, this Jacoby window treatment will not only keep the inside of the house cool but also protect the richly hued floors from the abuse and damage of unfiltered UV light. For those who love the warmth of sunlight but would rather avoid the harsher effects, these frosted panels offer the best of both worlds.

Weather Performance for Year-Round Living Energy-efficient windows support the home’s sustainability goals while providing tranquil living spaces protected from the elements. The NanaWall folding glass walls were specified with energy-efficient glazing to ensure optimal weather performance and minimal heat loss during winter. Specialized weather seals further keep the elements out and enhance insulation. The specified low profile saddle sill delivers an unobstructed threshold, successfully merging interiors with the outdoors without sacrificing weather performance, especially during heavy snowfall. “The NanaWall system is properly engineered for wind loads, designed not to leak, and has great R/U value,” says Ryker. “The folding doors combined with the core-ten steel exterior hold up to snow piled against the façade with no damage or leaks.”

This beautiful colonial in Marion, Massachusetts is even more gorgeous with its new GAF Timberline HD roof! There is more to a roof than shingles – in fact there are several components to a professionally installed GAF Lifetime Roofing System. Here is the anatomy of our Marion homeowner’s roof: GAF Timberline HD Shingles Marion, MAGAF Timberline HD Roof Shingles: A beautiful architectural shingle at an affordable price! This is our most popular roof shingle here at Care Free Homes! Our Marion customer selected the classic color, Charcoal. This high performance shingle features a 130 mph wind rating and highest possible fire rating. Underlayment: A felt/paper product that is installed over the entire roof deck, underlayment provides an additional layer of protection between the roof deck and the roof shingles. Ice Dam and Water Shield: After a brutal winter and unprecedented snow fall, many New England homes suffered damage from ice dams. Ice Dam and Water Shield provides added protection for eves, rakes, valleys as well as flashed areas around vent pipes, chimneys, dormers, and skylights. Whether it’s a winter wonderland or a hurricane, this homeowner will not have to worry about ice dams or driving rain. GAF Timberline HD, Marion, MA Dormers Premium Aluminum Drip Edge: Installed along the rakes, drip edge serves several purposes. It improves the efficiency of water shedding, prevents leaking from a wind-driven rain as well as movement between the deck and fascia boards. Drip edge also keeps pesky insects from infiltrating the space between the roof deck and the fascia boards. With a choice of three colors, white, brown and gray, it provides a finished look for a roof. GAF Pro-Start Eave/Rake Starter Strip: Every story has a beginning and every roof should have a starter strip. Here in New England we’ve got to have our roof be tougher than mother nature. To prevent shingle blow off, an ultra-adhered starter strip properly secures shingles in place during a storm. In contrast, the amateur roofer will often use cut-up shingles as a starter course. This weakened “starter course” lowers the wind resistance of a roof and makes it more susceptible to both wind and water damage. With straighter edges, Dura-Grip adhesive, and outstanding warranties – starter strip will provide beauty, performance and peace of mind. GAF Cobra Ridge Vent: Ridge vents provide necessary airflow to remove excess heat and moisture in an attic. It inhibits the growth of mold and protects the health of the homeowners as well as their stored possessions. A properly vented attic will also protect homes in harsh winter climates from ice damming. Why wait? Contact us today and make your house a Care Free home!

Amazing Kitchen and Bathroom Transformation! -------------HIGHLIGHTS ---------- *Extreme heat resistance – Perfect for countertops! Don’t worry about melting your porcelain slab if you need to put down a hot pan straight from the stove. It’s a great surface material for performing all of your temperature-based tasks without having to be concerned with wear or tear. *Stain-free–it’s almost impossible to stain porcelain. Whereas with marble or quartzite, you risk nasty stains every time you spill dark liquids or food items on it. Even just a touch can cause permanent damage. But the same cannot be said for porcelain, which can be cleaned in a jiffy and will not absorb or resorb stainable substances. *Will, not scratch or wear – It’s super difficult to cause any scratches or chips on a porcelain surface. Unless it were to be rammed by a bulldozer, it can’t be hurt. Anything from dropping a kitchen knife to resting heavy bricks upon it will not cause it to crack or wear down. It’s invincible compared to the caution you must exercise when dealing with a marble surface. -------REMODEL SPECS:-------- *Cabinet Style: Affinity European Frameless: Already a popular concept in Europe-these extralarge-format porcelain slabs are fairly new to the US market, *Wood Species- Paint Grade Finish /White Dove, *Cabinet Box- 3/4" Plywood, *Hinges-Fully Concealed Cup-Hinge, Six-Way Adjustable, Self-Closing, Integrated Soft-Close, *Drawer Guides/Full-Extension Under-Mount, Self-Closing, Soft-Close With Under Cabinet Led, *Strip Lighting (under the cabinetry), *Porcelain Slabs Hyper White (countertop and island), *Porcelain Slabs Calcatta Hyper White (backsplash)
