They're still doing some landscaping, but the outside of the house is done.

I've posted the picture of the house next door after the aluminum siding was taken off.  Now I'll post a side-by-side picture since it's been painted so you can see the difference.





This was after the siding had been removed. The house was very dirty underneath the siding and a lot of wood needed to be replaced and caulking needed to be done, especially around the windows.








They've finished the painting. New gutters, corners of the roof propped up, supports for the porch roof, new metal roof, side porch by kitchen enclosed and new railing installed.








Big difference!  They bought the house last summer and have just moved in the first of June.  They've been landscaping the back yar, installing some support walls and replacing the whole fence around the yard.  I'm sure they have plans for the front yard, too.

The amount of work, and money, is mind-blowing to me!

Can't say much for the colors...did the lady who used to live in the Martin's house buy it? You know, the one that used to hang broken glass from her trees?

Amazing transformation! A good paint job can definitely make a big difference with the way the house looks. I'm glad that they replaced the gutters. The roof really needs that. Overall, it's a successful renovation! I would really love to see new photos of this house. Keep on posting awesome stuff!

Renovating the entire house can be expensive, but it is possible to keep the costs at a minimum. Planning in advance can help you lower the cost of your renovation project. Research what kind of renovation you are going to make. Also, have a good estimation of the cost and duration of the project. Stick to the plan and your budget won't be busted.

I love your color choice, Bob! It's best to replace your siding if it's severely damaged, but sometimes repainting can do the trick. It made a very big difference to your facade, and I guess even your neighbors are enjoying the view. Years passed already, but I hope you've maintained your house properly. :)
