One of our most recent projects, located on the North Side of Lake Norman was for homeowners with a request for replacement siding, and while we were performing our initial home inspection and consultation, they expressed their disappointment with their second story deck. Although the deck was part of a gorgeous second level sunroom and deck addition to their lovely brick home, unfortunately it was not doing a very good job in its expected performance as roof to the patio below and led to rot and damage (not to mention they couldn’t enjoy the lovely space if there was any rain in the forecast). Little did they know we could help with this issue as well because here is where our versatility and expertise in all things for your home’s exterior makes us more valuable to homeowners.

This stunning Victorian-inspired home showcases Brookhaven dark limestone fieldledge style real thin veneer from the Quarry Mill. Brookhaven is a dark and colorful blend of natural limestones. Although dark is a relative term, this natural stone veneer is unusually dark for limestone. The stone looks muted from a distance but is also colorful upon close inspection. There are some lighter tones as well as soft hints of red and lavender. Brookhaven is a fieldledge style stone. The fieldledge style allows the finished veneer to showcase multiple faces of the limestone which adds color and texture variations. The rectangular linear pieces show primarily the interior part of the stone, whereas, the irregular pieces show the exterior part with natural mineral staining.

This project involved converting two existing living room areas on different levels of a home in Mill Creek into functional living spaces, including a new bedroom and a home office.
The scope of work included space reconfiguration, framing modifications, and adjustments to the stair handrail system to allow for full wall construction on the lower level. New wall framing was extended where required, and sound insulation was installed within the walls to improve privacy between spaces.
Flooring transitions were carefully addressed to match existing finishes and maintain continuity across newly divided areas. Additional work included drywall installation and patching, interior painting, installation of new doors, and replacement of baseboards throughout the modified spaces.
This project was completed with full permits and successfully passed all required inspections.

Moss Rock mosaic real thin stone veneer from the Quarry Mill creates a stunning renovated fireplace in this cozy living room. Moss Rock is a rocky mountain fieldstone with beautiful earthy brown tones. The fieldstone is hand-picked and sawn to a depth of approximately one-inch thick. The sawing process creates the thin stone veneer. The stone has lichen growing on it which adds unique colors and textures to the natural stone. With its irregular mosaic pattern, Moss Rock is most commonly used on cabins, lodges and country homes. This natural stone veneer is great for rustic inspired projects but the possibilities are endless. The stone appears earthy brown when you see it from a distance, however, upon closer inspection there is great color variation from soft tans to whites and hints of green.

Built in 2011, this home is gorgeous. Unfortunately, sections of the home’s exterior had CertainTeed WeatherBoard siding, a budget fiber cement product that failed and was implicated in a class-action lawsuit. The siding was cracking and falling off the home after less than 10 years!
The original homeowner collected money from the lawsuit settlement and needed the siding replaced to pass inspection for a pending sale of the home. Colorado Siding Repair installed James Hardie fiber cement lap siding on the entire home, as well as new James Hardie panel siding and trim on the front porch columns. We painted the whole home with Sherwin-Williams Duration paint to update the color scheme and protect the new siding.
We are seasoned contractors who have helped dozens of homeowners replace failing CertainTeed siding with James Hardie fiber cement siding and trim. Call us if you’d like help replacing yours siding!

Located in a suburban development, this residence uses the conventional construction methods of its McMansion neighbors, but focuses on reductive materials and detailing. Four gabled forms enclose a courtyard pool for this young family. Sited at the ridge of a hay field, the house recalls the agricultural forms of the region.
Two grades of cedar clad the house expressing its formal origins. Knotty, horizontal siding clads the exterior with a dark stain concealing the inexpensive material’s imperfections, while a finer grained vertical cedar is used where the forms are sliced, carved, separated, and rotated, revealing a more refined interior than the knotty cedar suggests.
The house is rigorously ordered to layer spaces and establish framed views through the house, allowing family members to connect, inside and out. Balancing the owner’s desire for a contemporary aesthetic with comforting warmth, the architecture fits its suburban neighborhood while surprising visitors upon closer inspection.
