Exterior before and after

We still aren't completely finished with the remodel, but the house is finally at a point where I feel comfortable putting up before and after pictures. We had the outside painted last week, so I'll start there for now and cover one room at a time in upcoming posts. I'm going to skip the back of the house for now because we are currently taking on a huge re-landscaping project (as you'll see in the last picture) and it's a complete dirt and gravel disaster.

On the outside of the house, we did the following:

  • New roof (black and no longer sagging)
  • New siding (a lovely grey-green and not rotten)
  • New trim (a nice beige color)
  • New windows (without gaps that I can fit my fingers through)
  • New doors (that actually seal)
  • New front porch (not rotten)
  • New side deck (not rotten)
  • New stairs (that are centered)
  • New rock base (with vents and without rust)
  • Foundation fixes (no more dry rot or carpenter ants)
  • Restained fence (no more moss)
