PROFOUND TRANSFORMATION! We started with the removal of all the old, dated aluminum siding followed up by wrapping the home with Typar to help with wind penetration.

CONDENSED! This small bathroom was just off the garage and kind of served as a mudroom. The homeowners didn’t really use it, and it actually made the entry from the garage a bit cramped.
