Before & After: Salt Lake City

BEFORE AND AFTER!

My client in Salt Lake purchased a home that came with some details we found ourselves working around, instead of working with. Specifically, stone veneer on the exterior body of the entry and garage.

My client and I felt boxed in by the color and placement of the stone. We felt it was not giving the house the warm modern feel she was after.

In the end, the entry stone veneer and large window casings were removed and replaced with smooth stucco. The soffits were replaced with clear stained wood and the structural beams were stripped and stained.

At the garage, the same stone veneer was replaced with smooth stucco. A more modern roofline was constructed with a brighter soffit. New exterior lighting and a garage door with windows completed the look.

In the end, it may have been more work to remove and replace the elements, but it allowed us to work in our own perimeters instead of letting the existing materials drive our decisions.
