The owner asked Morey Construction Group
to provide a solution to mitigate its appearance. In their design, the company put a tile
cap on the outside edge of the fascia. The
visual trick worked well and was about to
be installed when the neighbor to the east
trimmed his huge sycamore tree. Suddenly,
the full side of the house was visible, and
it became clear that the roof had to be
completely replaced. Lightweight clay tile
roofing now graces the top of residence.
The $351,600 remodel took six months
to complete. ���In the end, thoughtful details
allowed us to give the owner what he
desired with a very slight amount of
additional square footage,��� notes Morey.
���The residence went from an unremarkable
house to one that now has a very distinctive, refined character.���
The homeowner wanted
his house to reflect Tuscanstyle architectural themes.
The front walkway look
mimics old flagstone but
is made out of poured-inplace concrete with pavers
and large grout joints.
