This zero lot line patio home was in serious need of attention—the original siding was literally falling off, leaving the structure exposed to Houston’s heat, humidity, and heavy rain. The homeowner needed a durable, long-term solution that would restore protection, efficiency, and curb appeal.
We removed the failing materials and installed new HardiePlank® siding and HardieTrim®, giving the home a clean, modern, and structurally sound exterior built specifically to withstand Houston’s Gulf Coast climate. To further improve comfort and energy performance, we upgraded the home with Simonton high‑efficiency windows, dramatically enhancing insulation and reducing air loss.
Once the new siding and windows were in place, we completed the transformation with a full exterior repaint using premium Sherwin‑Williams exterior paint, delivering a crisp, long-lasting finish that will hold up beautifully for years to come.
This project is a perfect example of how the right materials—and the right contractor—can completely revive a home’s exterior, boost efficiency, and add long-term value in the Houston market.

The long term exposure of natural ammonia off gases react with existing tannins in the oak which created the darkening of the wood. Naturally fumed wood is produced over long periods of time and the ammonia concentration levels are very low. This slow process produces a much more uniform look and penetrates deeper.

This starter home features the raised basement concept. Homes like these are often built using low income housing tax credits that require a 15 year period of rental. The idea of this home is that it is an ideal rental to be sold after the rental period. The owner can then easily expand this house by finishing the basement - doubling the square footage of the home at a low cost per square foot. It allows to stabilize neighborhoods by keeping residents in place for the long term.
