Before and After - Front of the House
The front needed a face-lift. While the changes look subtle there was a ton of work done in these pictures.
We ripped out the overgrown bushes that were placed too close to the house. A project in itself. Thanks Matt!
Shoutout to Janelle Milius 's father, John, for designing and leading us on the new landscape. Sadly, he never got to see the finished product bloom this Spring 😔. RIP 🙏
Shoutout to Matt Daley for helping me plant all these plants on the hottest day of the year last year. It was ridiculous and I spent an hour every day watering the plants so they would survive for a few weeks. Shoutout to Raves for supplying the bodacious plants. 💐 🌸
Again, most flippers cutout the flower beds, throw in $100 in mulch and add a couple rocks 🪨. I don't believe in this. I believe that landscaping transforms a property. Too many buyers do not appreciate this until they have to pay for it and/or spend the time planting.
In addition to the landscape, we added black shutters (not shown on the picture), a new mailbox, new screen door, which needed to be customized to meet size of older home (aka upgrade). We kept the original, solid door and painted it, but we cased out the front door with all new custom trimwork and brickmold. Shoutout to Ryank Kobeski for leading this project and making a great accent piece.
We also added custom numbers, a flagpole, refinished all the steps and white-washed them, secured, grinded, and repainted the rails, changed all the windows, added a custom accent piece in the center of the windows (which needed to be handpainted and polyurethaned) , parged and repainted the entire foundation, chipped and repainted the lattice, repainted the deck, replaced the lights and had to also rewire them, replaced the doorbell, fixed the gutters, fixed the drainage issue on right side of the house, powerwashed all the siding and sidewalks.
