What started as a smaller project to fix chipped paint + rot on the fascia boards turned into a complete remodel of the exterior of her home for West + Main agent Jessica Thompson.
What started as a smaller project to fix chipped paint + rot on the fascia boards turned into a complete remodel of the exterior of her home for West + Main agent Jessica Thompson.
Deciding to rip off all of the vinyl siding and see what's underneath, Jessica was met with completely rotted wood and decided to tear it all out.
"This project had a snowball effect, as we started off with a small ball, it got bigger and bigger as we kept going,” said Jessica. “There was no budget, it was more of a pay-as-you- go-or-can-afford situation.”
“I wouldn’t change a thing because the project turned out exactly as I envisioned!"
Before, during, and after of the exterior.
Jessica was inspired by the families in Disney movies who always lived in beautiful craftsman-style homes, and she knew she wanted to incorporate this look along with energy-efficient upgrades and historic features to create her dream exterior.
To figure out the design, Jessica uploaded a photo of her house to her Instagram story and drew in a porch with the colors she wanted, as well as the style of columns.
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.It’s hard to choose a favorite part of the project, but one thing I knew I wanted from the beginning was the pyramidal brick columns. My great-great grandmother, who lived two blocks from our house, had them and I felt like the column shape would help maintain the historical accuracy of the home.”
