Restoration of the Goodrum House & Garden by Spencer Tunnell II and Matt Sussman of Tunnell + Tunnell Landscape Architecture (TTLA)
A prominent central driveway punctuates the front lawn, guiding visitors toward the exquisitely restored house and inner grounds. Completed in 1932 and recently restored to its original period design, this English Regency-style home was designed by renowned architect Philip Trammell Shutze for May Patterson Goodrum, the widow of a wealthy Atlanta businessman.
Originally built on five acres in the Buckhead neighborhood of north Atlanta, the stucco exterior and geometric design of the house and landscape emulates the grand architectural concepts popularized during the reign of King George IV in early 19th century England. Combining their professional expertise, the site’s architect and landscape architect worked closely throughout the restoration process, drawing on the home’s original design plans, historic photographs, and interviews with former neighbors to ensure that the project accurately reflected Shutze’s intent. An archaeological excavation and detailed paint analysis provided further insight.
Restoring the property’s grounds required recreating lost elements of the period-style landscape, including stunning allées and large boxwood and perennial gardens framed by restored garden walls. The expansive lawns, mixed hedges, and dense oak tree canopy were brought back, returning this distinguished home to its former glory. Photos courtesy Tunnell + Tunnell Landscape Architecture

This house west of Boston was originally designed in 1958 by the great New England modernist, Henry Hoover. He built his own modern home in Lincoln in 1937, the year before the German émigré Walter Gropius built his own world famous house only a few miles away. By the time this 1958 house was built, Hoover had matured as an architect; sensitively adapting the house to the land and incorporating the clients wish to recreate the indoor-outdoor vibe of their previous home in Hawaii.
The house is beautifully nestled into its site. The slope of the roof perfectly matches the natural slope of the land. The levels of the house delicately step down the hill avoiding the granite ledge below. The entry stairs also follow the natural grade to an entry hall that is on a mid level between the upper main public rooms and bedrooms below. The living spaces feature a south- facing shed roof that brings the sun deep in to the home. Collaborating closely with the homeowner and general contractor, we freshened up the house by adding radiant heat under the new purple/green natural cleft slate floor. The original interior and exterior Douglas fir walls were stripped and refinished.

Title: Exterior Metal Porch & Staircase Restoration in West Town, Chicago
Project Overview:
In Chicago’s West Town and Near West Side neighborhoods, multi-unit two-flats, three-flats, and rear coach houses feature heavy-duty steel and iron porches, fire escapes, and railings. Over time, road salt, rain, and extreme freeze-thaw cycles strip away the protective finish, leading to unsightly rust and structural pitting.
Windy City Painters recently completed this multi-tier metal staircase and deck railing repainting project in West Town, Chicago. Here is how proper prep work extends the lifespan of Chicago metalwork by 5 to 8 years.
Why Exterior Metal Prep Matters in Chicago
Rust never stops at the surface. Once moisture penetrates a cracked paint film, oxidation spreads laterally underneath. By the time orange bleeding or paint bubbling is visible, damage is far more extensive.
Our 4-Step Metal Restoration Process:
Mechanical Rust Removal & Scraping: Stripping loose, flaking paint down to solid, bonded metal.
Chemical Rust Conversion: Applying Ospho or Corroseal to chemically convert active surface oxidation into a stable, paintable iron phosphate barrier.
Rust-Inhibitive Priming: Locking out moisture with industrial-grade DTM (Direct-To-Metal) primer.
Protective Topcoat: Finishing with a weather-resistant DTM enamel engineered to withstand heavy foot traffic and Chicago winter conditions.
4 Warning Signs Your Metal Railings or Porch Need Painting:
Orange Bleeding: Rust staining pushing through topcoat paint.
Bubbling or Blistering: Trapped moisture lifting paint from the base metal.
Pitting Metal: Soft, flaking areas when tested with a screwdriver.
Cracked Welds: Structural joints separating (requires welding repair before painting).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How much does exterior metal porch or railing painting cost in Chicago?
A: Residential metal railings and porch stairs typically range between $500–$2,500+ depending on linear footage, height, rust severity, and detail work. Windy City Painters offers free, transparent per-project estimates.
Q: Can rusty metal stairs and railings be saved?
A: Yes! Most iron and steel structures can be fully restored with proper mechanical prep and rust converters. Only severely pitted or structurally compromised sections require welding repair prior to painting.
Q: How long does a DTM paint job last on exterior metal?
A: A properly prepped and coated metal porch or railing holds up for 5 to 8 years in Chicago. Skipping rust conversion reduces paint life to just 2 to 3 years.
Q: Do you work with property managers and multi-unit buildings?
A: Yes, Windy City Painters works with homeowners, landlords, HOA boards, and property management companies across West Town, Ukrainian Village, Logan Square, and the North Side.
