This was a fun job as customer wanted to update the water side of the house after years of Maine weather abuse and detected water damage it was decided to strip the whole side and fix the rot. First we got rid of 2 sliding doors in the dining room and changed them to picture units. This increased lighting and water view from the kitchen. The upstairs bedroom we took out the double hung window and arch top transom. We replaced them with a picture unit in the center and an opening casement on each side. This increased water view to the room and provided more air flow. The sliding doors in the living room were replaced and upgraded with higher ratings. All doors and windows are Andersen A-Series units with new pvc exterior trim. A new entrance fiberglass unit was installed to replace trotted pine door. We resided with cedar clapboard and 3 coats of stain.
Young kitchenThe customer had an old cedar deck and rails that they wanted to change to a low maintenance deck. The old rails and deck was removed. A new carrying beam was added to support the deck better. The joist was cover with flashing and the new Timbertech Tigerwood deck was put down with hidden fasteners. The new railing are Intex pvc railings
This old cottage needed a face lift and some tlc. A few of the windows were scraped and repainted. Most of the double hungs were replaced with new vinyl double hung units. The porch decking was pressure washed and scraped than painted. New porch railings were added and all post and ceiling were painted.
The old cedar shingles were removed from the cottage. New paper and flashings were put on then the new white cedar shingles were added. After installing the new siding we spayed it to weather it to give the appearance it had been on for awhile and to make the aging process more uniform. Seagulls were added to the gable and the entrance door adding charm and detail to this cottage
