🔨 MAJOR EXTERIOR OVERHAUL IN NORTH TRURO! 🏠
We recently wrapped up the main phase of a full exterior facelift on a 1980s build, and the transformation is night and day! The homeowner wanted a clean, low-maintenance setup, choosing James Hardie lap siding on the front face paired with pre-stained bleaching oil shingles on the cheeks.
As a lifelong Cape Cod local, I take a lot of pride in our craftsmanship and helping fellow locals protect their homes against the harsh salt air and coastal weather. 🌊
Here’s a breakdown of the scope on this project:
Siding & Cheeks: Stripped the old white cedar shingles down to the sheathing on the front face and cheeks. Installed James Hardie Pearl Gray clapboard on the front per the owner’s request, and SBC bleaching oil shingles on the cheeks.
Roofing & Skylights: Tore off the old roof and installed CertainTeed Weatherwood shingles with a new ridge vent, along with 3 new VELUX skylights equipped with solar-powered blinds. ☀️
Trim & Ventilation: Swapped out all the old wood trim for low-maintenance AZEK across the rakes, fascia, frieze, and corner boards, and added new soffit vents throughout.
Smart Window Details: Built custom AZEK trim around windows that didn't have any trim before. We detailed these specifically so if the windows ever need to be replaced down the road, the trim can easily be popped off and reinstalled without tearing into the surrounding siding!
Accent Windows: Installed 2 new Andersen octagon windows.
Almost 100% wrapped up—just waiting on the new front door, storm door, seamless gutters, and for the electrician to hang the outdoor lights! ⚡
