Our House Gets a Facelift

 We noticed that the stucco on our house was disingrating in places near the bottom of the house.  Even some of the grout in the brick was turning to sand.  We got a referral from a friend for someone he trusted and Kevin Hansen from White Glove Construction came and gave us a bid to fix the stucco and grout, put in cement borders and repaint the doors and stucco.  When it got warm enough about a month ago, they started the project.  We had been unhappy with our last color scheme, but had lived with it for about twenty years. We had a trusted friend (Marsha Burdick) who is very good with colors come over and help us choose colors from paint chips we had (before she left on their mission to Africa!)  We are very happy with the results.

First, they scraped and redid the damaged stucco.

Then they did the cement.  We had this little corner in the front for a small flowerbed.  But the wet dirt was causing damage, so they suggested we cement it in.

They put cement borders around the whole house to prevent damage in the future.

Then they painted the doors a dark brown.  You can see that before we had a light kind of pinkish brown.  Marsha suggested that we needed to get rid of that color as it was not matching the roof tile.  We like it SO much better now.  We couldn't figure out what we didn't like, we just knew it wasn't matching. We were so grateful for Marsha's help.

We love our new front door.

Then they taped and sealed everything and painted the stucco.

For one day, we were sealed inside our house.  We couldn't get out any doors as they were all sealed over with plastic and tape.

We were excited to go out when they let us out and see how it looked.

We are so pleased with how it turned out.

We were so happy with the company we hired.  It was expensive, but they did such a good job.  They were careful, respectful and meticulous in their work.  They came when they said they would.  I liked how they talked to each other, too.  I would overhear them.  There was no foul language and they treated each other with respect.  If you live in this area and need repairs done at your home, we recommend White Glove Construction.
