As one of our final exteriors of the season, this West Simsbury home received a precision-focused refresh to restore and protect key areas of the property before winter. Our team applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams WoodScapes Solid Exterior Stain to newly installed siding, ensuring a seamless color match and weather-resistant finish. The trim, fascia, and entry details were refinished with Benjamin Moore Regal Select Satin, while the front door was completed in Benjamin Moore Soft Gloss for a refined, elegant sheen. Every surface was meticulously prepped—washed, sanded, caulked, and masked—to guarantee flawless lines and lasting durability. The result is a crisp, cohesive exterior that enhances both curb appeal and protection heading into the colder months.

Bahama Shutters enhance the tropical look of your home while offering everyday use and protection. While still allowing a cool coastal breeze, the Bahama Shutter provides shading protection from the sun. The added privacy benefit of Bahama Shutters eliminates the need for interior window blinds or shutters, while still allowing in light and air flow in the closed position.

Both the upper and lower levels now offer shade from the sun, making the porch and patio below more comfortable during hot days and protecting furniture from UV damage. As you enter the backyard, this open shed roof porch adds an interesting architectural element to this Ross Bridge home, which enhances the rear landscape appeal and adds value. With its overhead protection, fresh breezes are enjoyed from the open walls while the protective roof cover allows for various activities, such as dining, lounging, and entertaining friends and family. Boasting design flexibility, this open shed roof porch design can easily accommodate the two ceiling fans with lighting.

This eco-friendly deck is made from Fiberon composite decking. The step-up design helps define different areas of the space. The home owner also used the composite deck boards for bench seating. The product used is Fiberon's ProTect Advantage, in the 'Western Cedar' color.

ShadeFX customized and installed a 20’ x 12’ retractable shade structure for a home within the scenic Niagara Region. A water-resistant Sunbrella Crest Ash fabric extends and retracts for providing overhead protection.

In Arlington, Virginia, a homeowner’s sun-drenched pergola was transformed into a flexible and inviting outdoor sanctuary. ShadeFX manufactured a 16′ x 18′ manual retractable canopy in a UV-protected Sunbrella Spa Solid fabric.

This beautiful, lakeside, colonial located in Hopkinton, MA underwent one of the most beautiful siding transformations of the year using our GorillaPlank™ Siding System. Built in 1940, this lakeside home in Hopkinton, MA had old scalloped cedar shakes that had become old and worn out. The homeowners considered painting again, but did not want the costly expense of having to paint again, so they decided it was time to renovate and modernize their living space with a low-maintenance siding that closely resembled the appearance of wood. Everlast Composite Siding was the siding of choice using our GorillaPlank™ Siding System. Before installing the GorillaPlank™ Siding System, our expert team of installers went to work by stripping down the existing cedar shingles and clapboards down to the sheathing. After verifying the underlying condition of the sheathing, our team went ahead and set staging to protect the beautiful metal roofs, then proceeded to install the moisture barrier to protect the sheathing, and then installed insulation for added protection and comfort. Their house is now featuring Everlast Composite Siding in the 7” exposure of one of the newest colors, Blue Spruce!

ShadeFX refabricated a 20’ x 12’ retractable canopy for an original order from 2009. ShadeFX installed the motorized shade with the same Sunbrella parchment fabric. Now the clients can continue to enjoy their protected outdoor space.

Blue Dog Exteriors built two custom wooden pergolas as part of an outdoor extension. For sun and rain protection, ShadeFX added two manual retractable shades to the structures. Now, both areas have flexible shelter to maximize time spent outdoors.

The main objective for this project was to create a beautiful outdoor cooking and entertaining space. The clients wanted the new space to have an open concept while being protected from the elements year round. Stylistically they wanted the design to have a Pacific Northwest feel, to blend with the existing house and work well among their natural, forested backyard. We needed to include a BBQ, smoker, sink, refrigerator, gas fireplace and wall mounted heater as well as a large screen TV. The details were going to be a main focus for the design process, as we knew this would ensure the cohesive blend of function and aesthetic appeal. One of the main challenges was working with the existing deck. The 1000 SF deck needed new decking and guardrails as well as some framing repair. We were worried that the existing deck structure would not support the weight of the new construction. Another challenge we faced was designing the roof planes to aesthetically blend with the existing house. The layout of the first and second floor had us working through multiple design revisions until we landed on the final stepped roof structure. We designed the new roof to be supported by the house and columns set directly on the ground, thereby minimizing weight added to the existing deck. This allowed us to use the deck to support the lighter components, including the kitchen and BBQ area. Oversized beams, exposed raw wood rafters, and sealed car decking worked well with the new cedar deck surface. Stainless steel cabinetry and appliances are accented by solid surface countertops and small mosaic backsplash. All colors were selected to fall within the natural hues of the seasonally changing foliage surrounding the clients’ property. Maintaining the same footprint of the existing deck, we used the angles to our advantage and created additional seating with a custom built storage bench. New powder coated posts and cable guardrails were topped with an LED lined wood handrail. A decorative chandelier and subtle metal pendants provide ambient light. An electric heater mounted to the inside of one of the beams as well as the gas fireplace provides ample heat for colder months. The clerestory windows between the two roof planes provide additional light to the space while protecting against the elements. The gas fireplace and cultured stone wrapped chimney is a visual anchor and centerpiece for the deck. The chimney provided an opportunity to hide one of the supporting columns as well as a protected space for the wall mounted TV and soundbar. The cabinetry layout was selected to offer plenty of storage and special features including a pull out garbage and recycling center, drawers for dishes and utensils, and a concealed paper towel holder.

Exterior Painting: This expansive two story home takes on a fresh new look with Sherwin Williams Duration paint. We used Cork Wedge on the siding, Egg White on the trim and fascia, and Barn Red for the doors and shutters.
