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.

This project involved replacing a worn and damaged garage door spring for a homeowner in Evanston, IL. The door had become heavy, noisy, and difficult to lift, creating a safety concern for the family. Our team inspected the system, identified the failing spring, and installed a new high‑cycle torsion spring designed for long‑term durability.
We also performed a full system balance, tightened all hardware, and lubricated the moving components to ensure smooth and quiet operation. The result was a safer, easier‑to‑use garage door with improved performance and reliability.
Projects like this highlight the importance of proper garage door maintenance and professional installation. Our goal is always to provide homeowners with safe, dependable, and long‑lasting solutions.

In this historic New Orleans commercial apartment building,
our team was brought in to deliver a full roof system replacement—one that would honor the building’s legacy while meeting today’s highest standards for safety and resilience.
We began by removing the old roofing down to the deck, installing brand-new sheathing to strengthen the structure from the inside out. An Ice & Water Shield system followed—offering the kind of deep protection that’s especially important in our climate. The finishing touch: rich terracotta tiles, chosen not only for their durability but for the timeless look they lend to this storied structure.
Start to finish, the transformation took just two days. We worked swiftly and cleanly, coordinating every phase—from demo to final inspection—with care. The result: a wind mitigation–certified roof that’s as strong as it is striking.
This upgrade wasn’t just about replacing a roof—it was about protecting the people and preserving the place they call home.
Thank you for trusting us with your project.

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!

Mosaic Fleur de Lis kitchen backsplash. This ready to install backsplash measures 24" wide x 18" tall, and is made with travertine, glass accents, limestone, and protective resin. The mosaic is affixed to HardieBacker cement board, fully grouted, and is pretreated with a tile sealer containing Microban.
At first glance, the Fleur de Lis appears to be a single piece. However, on closer inspection the more than 700 individual black pigmented limestone tesserae, along with random glass accents, become obvious. This mosaic fleur de lis is encased in a clear epoxy resin, protecting it from splashed food, heat, and being struck by kitchenware.

My House Design/Build Team | www.myhousedesignbuild.com | 604-694-6873 | Duy Nguyen Photography -------------------------------------------------------Right from the beginning it was evident that this Coquitlam Renovation was unique. It’s first impression was memorable as immediately after entering the front door, just past the dining table, there was a tree growing in the middle of home! Upon further inspection of the space it became apparent that this home had undergone several alterations during its lifetime... The homeowners unabashedness towards colour and willingness to embrace the home’s mid-century architecture made this home one of a kind. The existing T&G cedar ceiling, dropped beams, and ample glazing naturally leant itself to a mid-century space.

The Quarry Mill's Carson Pass real thin stone veneer creates a beautiful front entrance accent wall on the exterior of this building. Carson Pass is a fieldledge style natural thin stone veneer with an impressive depth of color. The stone has an abundance of natural mineral staining and lichen growing on the individual pieces. Upon close inspection Carson Pass almost appears to have been painted due to the vibrant colors, however, the colors are a completely natural occurrence. There are two types of lichen present on the stone. The first type provides some of the black tones and the second type gives more grey tones. The grey lichen is less abundant and almost looks as if mortar was accidentally splashed on the stone.

This beautiful exterior drystacked accent wall showcases a custom blend of Brighton grey ledgestone thin veneer and Shadow Vista low-height ledgestone natural stone veneer. Brighton is a neutral real thin stone veneer in the ledgestone style. The natural stone has fairly consistent shades of grey with an occasional touch of tan or brown mineral staining. Brighton shines as a unique grey natural stone with beautiful veining. The stone appears to be relatively monochromatic from a distance, however, upon close inspection the strong veining is apparent. Brighton’s veining comes from the layering of the stone within the ground. Horizontal veining like that found in Brighton can only be achieved with natural stone. Brighton falls into the ledgestone category due to the smaller heights. The individual pieces are shorter in length than most of our other natural stone veneers; the length is due to the formation of the stone within the quarry.

This welcoming outdoor living area with a covered patio and stainless steel outdoor kitchen showcase the Quarry Mill's Stonegate classic buff limestone real thin veneer. Stonegate is a classic and traditional choice for a natural limestone veneer. The stone is neutral and complementary allowing design flexibility with other siding, roofing, and flooring elements. Stonegate is predominantly an off white or buff tone with shades of grey. The stone has a slight amount of natural veining that looks similar to light pencil lines across parts of the stone. The veining is not visible from a distance but its detail and uniqueness are revealed upon close inspection. The depth and character of the veining in Stonegate can only be found in natural stone. Stonegate is considered an ashlar pattern but is on the rougher end as it is created to be less linear and clean-cut than some of our other ashlar options.

Greenlee Double Doors:
Raleigh Renfree designed these double doors as well as the sidelights to reflect the eclectic and sophisticated style of Bob and Diane Greenlee. Bob was the mayor of Boulder and is a successful businessman and art collector.
The elegant and determined design of these pieces, clean verticals anchored with stair-stepped heavier bases, in tandem with the long horizontal lines of the elongated house and the horizon lines created by a body of water, coalesces into a striking yet inviting highly emphasized threshold. Upon closer inspection, the duality of direction is further emphasized through carved cross-hatching patterns which soften the overall look from afar and add interest when entering the home.
Renfree lovingly refers to the pattern of the inlaid sandstone and moss rock as “Earthquake Stone” and is an inlay treatment unique to Artisinal Rhythms. The stone is selected in a variety of colors and is cut into a variety of sizes and widths to create a living, staggered, three-dimensional mosaic treatment for a subtle and unique embellishment setting these doors apart from the rest.
