The family’s remodeling journey began with a simple Facebook search, which led them to Smardbuild. Before we put our magic touch on this Arlington Heights split-level home, the house was drab and needed a spruce-up so the family could feel proud of their abode once again.
A complete exterior renovation not only enhances the home's aesthetics but also ensures lasting durability. The couple's vision was ambitious: a total overhaul of the front entry, the installation of a new door, and the creation of a stunning rain screen using IPE wood. This was accompanied by the intricate task of matching the brick's color to the new siding and the installation of a tongue and groove porch ceiling with a sophisticated IPE railing system.
To bring this vision to life, we meticulously selected the finest materials. James Hardie siding, renowned for its durability and timeless appeal, was chosen to envelop the home. Every detail mattered, and ProVia's entry door became the centerpiece of the front entry, radiating style and offering security. The rain-screen wall was meticulously crafted using IPE wood, creating a unique texture that stood out against the siding. To complete the transformation, aluminum soffit, fascia, and gutters were installed with precision.
Yet, no project is without its challenges. As we delved into the renovation, our team uncovered rotted wood that had to be replaced before the new siding and trim could be installed. Every inch of the damaged substrate was meticulously replaced, ensuring that the new siding would have a solid foundation and last for decades.
The result was nothing short of breathtaking. The marriage of James Hardie siding and trim, the seamless painting of the brick to match the siding's color, and the artistry of the front entry with its new door and IPE rain screen wall left the clients awestruck.
As the client raved in a review, "My only regret is not finding Smardbuild sooner." The project encompassed a complete exterior overhaul, from roof replacement to James Hardie siding, gutters, soffit, fascia, and even the removal of a stone retaining wall. The transformation was a testament to the Smardbuild team’s exceptional communication, professionalism, and craftsmanship.
The client added, "As a result, we have one of the most stunning houses in the neighborhood. We've received nothing but compliments on the work. I highly recommend the Smardbuild team for all of your remodeling needs."
