New Farmhouse

Farmhouse Front

The top picture is from the southeast corner of the home and looks towards the Sunroom. In order to give the Sunroom room an authentic look to the home’s farmhouse style, the windows and siding are going to be different than the rest of the house. On older farmhouses, additions to the existing house were commonly made years  after the original structure and with different materials. So, for this new home the Sunroom features a different grill pattern in the windows and will have board and batten siding on the exterior to make it look as if it was an addition to the original structure. The home owner wanted to include these kinds of details to bring old time character into a new home!

Great windows capturing a spectacular view!

This picture from an addition project we’re currently working on shows the view that the home owners wanted to highlight while creating a new room that they could relax and entertain in. The home owners came to us with great ideas of what they wanted to achieve with this addition and have been great to collaborate with throughout the process. We’re looking forward to the finished product as everything is coming together quite nicely!

Just Getting Started!

Living Room Window

This could be your view from inside your new living room! Thanks to great April weather, progress has been steady and the outside walls are up and complete. Things are looking good for the projected completion date in late August. Call 288-2619 for more details about buying this wonderful twin home and customizing the interior selections! FORE!

Here are a couple of other areas of your home that are sometimes overlooked:

• Air to air exchangers and furnaces – You should clean the filters out of your air to air exchangers every couple of months. Normally the filters slide right out and can be rinsed with water. To further increase the interior air quality of your home, replace the filter in your furnace too!
• Exterior vents – If your air exchangers are dirty, chances are the exterior vents are too. Take a brush to clean the exterior vents for your air exchanger, clothes dryer, and hood fan.
• Gutters – Making sure that debris is not clogging up your gutters helps them perform to the best of their abilities and maximizes the longevity of the product.
• Interior window sashes and sills – Did you notice a lot of moisture or frost on the interior of your windows this winter? This moisture and frost will usually melt or fall to the bottom of the window and rest on the sash and sill. Wipe up any dirt that the moisture has left behind and take note if the moisture has caused any damage to the paint or stain on your sash and/or sill. Some minor sanding and repainting of damaged paint can go a long way in maintaining your windows performance over the years. If you noticed an abundance of moisture forming on your windows through the winter, trying turning down your humidifier to better control the moisture in your home.
