Project Case Study: Exterior Upgrade using High-Quality Design & Implementation
Changing the exterior of an old house with high-quality materials and design, as well as attention to detail, to a modern, elegant, and high-end home exterior. This project demonstrates the ability to create an exterior improvement that establishes curb appeal, property value, durability, and overall good first impression.
Overview
A homeowner contacted us to improve their existing home so it could be a more upscale, contemporary, and attractive residential property.
The objective was to make the property look better, as well as make it more marketable, long-lasting, and useful outside.
The work completed was for exterior redesign, façade rework, material selection, landscaping, lighting, paint finish, entrance upgrade, and overall execution planning.
Client Background
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Location | Austin, Texas |
| Property | Luxury Residential Home |
| Needs | Exterior upgrade, façade redesign, landscaping, and high-end |
| Workmanship | All factors involved in the project. |
| Major Emphasis | Curb appeal, modern, durable, quality materials, clean finishes |
The Problem
The house was structurally sound, but the exterior was dated and did not convey the image of a high-quality residence.
The home had a very limited curb appeal due to the old façade, lack of interest in the paint job, the weak landscaping, simple entrance design, and lighting. The client’s requirements were for a new, fresh, and modern exterior, which would appear elegant on the street and make a good first impression.
The risk of the project was that it might not fit the exterior, the materials might not be suitable, there might be a lot of wasted money, and the project could not be executed properly if there was no clear exterior upgrade plan.
Challenges
| Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| Outdated exterior appearance | Reduced curb appeal |
| Dull facade design | Weak first impression |
| Poor landscape planning | Unbalanced outdoor look |
| Basic entrance styling | Less upscale feeling of property |
| Low-quality finish risk | Reduced durability |
| Not having a roadmap for execution | Risk of delay and increased expenses. |
Our Solution
We handled an outside remodel and did everything we could to make the home look better, last longer, and be a better home.
We achieved this by redesigning the façade, procuring high-quality exterior finishes, upgrading the entrance area, installing high-quality exterior lighting, adding value paint finishes, and landscaping enhancements.
The objective was to develop a contemporary, refined, and durable exterior to match the lifestyle of the homeowner and to enhance the property with a high-quality identity.
