26 Jul FROM WINDOWS TO STAIRS: UPGRADING STUCCO HOME
Picture this: a stunning stucco house with a Southern-style charm, but it needed a little love and attention. The windows had seen better days and were due for a re-caulking every 5-8 years. Our team at Wieldy Construction stepped in to bring new life to this beautiful abode!First things first, we meticulously inspected the windows, checking the caulk’s condition with a simple touch. Soft and pliable caulk meant it was still doing its job, while hardened caulk could lead to water seepage – definitely not ideal. So, we decided to re-caulk the windows, ensuring the house stays cozy and dry.
To make sure every nook and cranny of the house received a fresh coat, we took on the challenge of repainting the entire exterior. Some areas were hard to reach, but our dedicated team was up for it! We brought in a boom lift, allowing us to reach even the trickiest spots and leaving no corner untouched.
But that wasn’t all – some of the windows needed more than a re-caulking. We replaced them with modern, energy-efficient alternatives, adding both functionality and style to the home’s exterior.
The house also had an old concrete staircase that had seen better days, leading to some pesky leaks. We knew it was time for a complete makeover. Introducing a new, sturdy staircase made from Trex decking and Hardie panels. Not only did it match the Southern-style aesthetics, but it was also designed to resist rotting – perfect for withstanding the test of time.
Now, you may be wondering, how did we ensure the new house color and the staircase decking matched the overall style? Well, that’s where our experienced designers came in. We collaborated closely with them to choose a palette that perfectly complemented the house’s character.
However, bringing this vision to life required navigating through the permit process. Our team made sure everything was in order and submitted the plans to the City of Portland. Patience was the key as we waited for the approvals, which took about 8 months. But, hey, we’ve got good news – we successfully obtained the final permits, and the finish line is in sight!
At Wieldy Construction, we take immense pride in the high-quality work we deliver. This project was a true testament to our commitment to excellence, and we are thrilled to report that the outcome has been nothing short of spectacular!
