Portland Bungalow Remodel: Before and After Exterior

February 21, 2013 by dailygnome 10 Comments

Our home renovation is just about complete. All that’s left is painting the foundation and a few touch ups. It’s been a long five and a half months but we couldn’t be happier with the results. First up on the tour: Before and afters of the exterior.

Sherwin Williams Slate Tile (lap siding), Mount Etna (shingles) and Stolen Kiss (doors). It turned out more blue than I envisioned but we're digging it.

    This is great! I live in Woodstock and i’m trying to decide if I should renovate my house with additions like you performed. Could you provide a ballpark on the cost of the work?
