We installed 70 285 watt Solar World black panels with black frames and 70 Enphase microinverters on this five acre estate in Rolling Hills. The existing tile roof was removed and the panels were flush mounted to the roof deck. The design incorporated one array on the main house, two arrays on the garages, and one array on the barn. Energy efficient measures including led lighting, hybrid pool pumps, and load management will be part of the overall project. The new solar panels are grid-tied and net metered by Southern California Edison. The 20 Kw solar panel system is backed up by a 100 Kw generator. All Design and Installation Performed by Howe Custom Home Builders.

The intention behind the canyon is to create community - a place for people to walk, hang out, and visit with neighbors. The canyon, separating the 7 homes, ranges from 10 to nearly 18 feet wide, and is oriented north south, with a spur to the west. This orientation permits people to walk in from either 19th Avenue or E. Pine Street, or in from their car, which is discreetly tucked at the edge of the site. Here, the auto knows its place, and neighbors have a chance to interact in an informal setting. The canyon's orientation allows for southern light and air to reach all of the units and penetrate the site. Entries are accessed from the pedestrian canyon. The massing allows roof decks with views back into the canyon and to the Cascade Mountains to the east for all homes. Parking is covered under a trellis. Urban Canyon was selected as a Future Shack Award Winner by AIA Seattle in 2010 and a Project of the Month by AIA Seattle in 2009.

The artisans of AH & Co. from Montclair, NJ. showcase a before and after photo highlighting the technique of color glazing aged wood paneling, beams and trim work. Instead of sanding and stripping the existing finish, the wood is cleaned, conditioned, color stained and sealed with poly to give a luxurious and refreshed look. The finish sits on top of the surface vs. penetrating into the pores of the wood.

The new Owners of this cottage on Dickie Lake in the Township of Lake of Bays approached us to design a substantial “face-lift” renovation of the existing cottage, and to design a new garage for secure storage. A scrapbook collection of architectural style reference photos that the Owners had collected set the starting point for an integrated & consistent design style between the cottage and the new garage. A gable roof feature was added to “celebrate the entry” to the existing cottage. Windows, doors & siding were installed to the newly constructed garage. Windows & doors in the existing cottage were integrated with the new board & batten siding applied to both the cottage and the garage. A high-quality exterior siding stain was applied by hand-brushing for enhanced penetration & protection. A durable exterior deck stain was applied to the new cedar deck.

The Fania Roofing Company recently completed the installation of a new premium grade, pressure-treated cedar roof system on this home and pool house in Bernardsville, NJ. Fania installed a new, premium grade, pressure -treated cedar roof system which was performed by our steep slope cedar roofing team. This new cedar roof system comes with a warranty to cover the roofing materials for 50 years. Custom fabricated 16oz.

All penetrations and flashings were installed with 16oz Red Copper, which was performed by our Fania coppersmiths.

The Magpies are delighted! This stunning project is nestled in the South Australian country township of Willunga, whose name is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning “The locality of green trees”. During the course of the renovations a family of 11 magpies swooped in and now call this abundantly treed property ‘Home’. The clever design frames the natural views to the north, uninhibited by the alfresco structure. Passive solar design methodology is employed by utilising optimal eaves overhang allowing warming winter sun to penetrate into the interior of the building, whilst excluding the harsh rays during summer. A blending of the old and new help to keep a sense of history whilst combining a modern, natural feel with a semi industrial working space. Bringing the outdoors in by maximising the views of the abundant vegetation and birdlife is a feature of this addition. Well known local identities, and the owners of this spectacular building, are now enjoying their lifestyle passion for preparing food and entertaining in this enlarged, purpose built space…. As are their fine feathered friends.

A continuous severe weather and hailstorm threatened Capsher Technologies which is a large software development firm, causing roof failure and flooding. We covered the entire 43k sqft. roof in under 24 hours. Their multilevel commercial flat roof was struck with record-breaking-sized hail during severe weather that lasted for several days. The impacts penetrated the entire College Station roofing assembly, allowing water to enter and begin flooding the building. Protecting sensitive equipment and their production work became priority number one on our commercial roofing priorities list.

The original closet was small and precarious. Our new design provided vast garment hanging capacity, a staging grid, and abundant drawers, including charging stations for electronics. We increased the window's width and height to provide further light penetration into the room and facilitate selection and color combinations. Motorized shades were installed to protect the garments.

Full Wrap James Hardie ColorPlus siding installation. We removed and hauled off the original aluminum siding, wrapped the home in official HardieWrap, flashed all the windows and doors as well as blocked out all the penetrations per manufacturer's best practices. We replaced the soffits and fascia as well on this home and used smooth James Hardie ColorPlus lap siding with smooth Arctic White James Hardie trim, Staggered Shake, and accessories.

These picnic tables on the beach were made even more colorful and comfortable with the addition of Sunbrella bench cushions, including ties to hold them in place. And because they were constructed using the official Sunbrella RAIN manufacturing process, water will not penetrate or soak the cushions. Surface moisture can simply be brushed off and they are good to go after a rain storm. What better way to enjoy beach life in Miami? http://patiolane.com/blog/sunbrella-rain-bench-cushions-add-playful-vibe-beach-picnic-tables/

Set within a low-traffic residential street, this apartment building carries classical mouldings, an arched portal, and weathered siding. The client sought to reinforce entry security without disrupting the historic character. We specified a wrought-iron gate for ornamental softness and installed a Ninja Deterrent™ spike line above the arch—low-profile yet highly effective in deterring balcony access. The Ninja Deterrent™ profile adds a crisp linear accent that complements both the scrollwork of the gate and the classical cornice above. Finished in matte black, the spike line reads as a deliberate architectural detail rather than an afterthought. Behind the gate, a stair leads to the upper units. The open sky well ensures daylight penetration, while a compact floodlight secures visibility after dusk. The Ninja Deterrent™ spike line secures the intermediate landing without obstructing the view.

This bedroom really looks great. Thanks to the huge beautiful windows, fresh, clean air and daylight freely penetrates the room, creating a natural atmosphere.

Complete asphalt roof replacement for a residential home in North Vancouver. The project included full removal of the existing roofing materials, inspection of the roof decking, and installation of new high-quality underlayment and architectural asphalt shingles. Flashing around roof penetrations, vents, and valleys was upgraded to improve waterproofing and long-term durability. Proper ventilation was also ensured to help extend the life of the roofing system and improve attic airflow. This new asphalt shingle roof provides reliable protection against the heavy rain and coastal climate conditions common in the Vancouver area while giving the home a clean, refreshed appearance.
