need for visual consistency as
one approached the home. As
a result, the garage façade also
received new horizontal siding
and a new window. The front
façade had an oversized wall
on each side with the roofline
jutting out an additional 4 ft. to
cover the sections of wall. This
created 6 by 6 ft. of wasted space
near the front door that blocked
natural light into the home and
an odd exterior treatment at
one corner of the garage. The
protruding wall was cut down
to the foundation, and the
extraneous sections of roofline
from each side were removed.
Then, stone wing walls with
custom-fabricated steel brackets
were added for long-term
structural support.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Sourcing products from different
manufacturers in a variety of
materials and colors prompted
JoCo Siding & Window to bring
a designer onboard. "This was
an extensive design process,
and correlating all the textures,
styles, stone color, trim stones,
and paint colors was extremely
important," says Christie. "We
had several design consultations
to ensure the owners would
be satisfied with the ultimate
decisions on how everything
fit together."
Paint color for the new siding
was selected in Adaptive Shade
with trim color in Enduring
Bronze. The original vertical
cedar siding was retained on the
back and right side of the house
and painted the same colors. The
manufactured stone's style is
called Cheyenne with a Browns
Valley finish. The fiberglass
exterior windows were colored
in Pebble Gray. Trim stones in a
Tennessee finish frame the entry
door and front façade windows.
"We added a keystone accent
piece above the window and
the door. It's a small detail but
was critical to create aesthetic
balance," Christie explains.
Knowing they would add
stone around the front door
which would be difficult to
remove later, the homeowner
noted that the door was not
square and had air leakage.
The team removed, leveled and
properly shimmed the door to
prevent the homeowner from
having to do significant work
in the future.
Completed throughout six
months in 2013, Christie credits
his labor force for an incredibly
smooth process. "We're a family-
owned business with guys that
have been with our company for
20 to 30 years, and their work is
a major part of the reason why
we are so successful." QR
