01

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We begin by meeting with you at your home to discuss your vision, needs, lifestyle, and budget. This is the time to explore ideas, ask questions, and establish the scope of your project. We also conduct a thorough site assessment to understand the existing conditions, identify any potential challenges, and ensure our recommendations are realistic and achievable.

02

Custom Design & Material Selection

Our design team works with you to create a detailed plan for your project. This includes layout reconfigurations, material selection, color coordination, and detailed renderings to help you visualize the final result. We visit our supplier showrooms together so you can see and feel the materials before making final decisions.

03

Permitting & Pre-Construction Preparation

We handle all necessary permitting and preparation for your project, including coordination with local building departments in Overbrook, Lyndon, Ottawa, Osage City, Topeka, and Lawrence.

Selecting the right materials is one of the most important decisions in your exterior remodeling project. The materials you choose affect the look, feel, durability, and long-term value of your finished space. Here is a guide to the premium materials we work with most frequently:

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding (such as James Hardie) is the gold standard for exterior cladding. It resists fire, moisture, insects, and rot while offering the appearance of natural wood. It holds paint exceptionally well and is backed by some of the longest warranties in the industry.

Energy-Efficient Windows

Modern double-pane and triple-pane windows with low-E coatings and gas fills dramatically improve your home's energy performance. They reduce heat transfer, block UV rays, and minimize outside noise. We offer a wide range of styles including double-hung, casement, picture, and slider windows.

Custom Entry Doors

Your front door is the first impression visitors have of your home. We install premium fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors that offer security, energy efficiency, and stunning curb appeal. Custom glass inserts, sidelights, and transoms are available to create a truly unique entrance.

Soffit and Fascia

New soffit and fascia protect the roof structure from moisture and pests while completing the exterior appearance of your home. We install ventilated soffit panels to ensure proper attic airflow and aluminum or composite fascia that resists rot and peeling.

Staying current with the latest design trends ensures that your exterior remodeling project feels fresh, modern, and adds maximum value to your home. Here are the trends our Kansas clients are most excited about:

Mixed Material Exteriors

Combining multiple siding materials like fiber cement, stone veneer, and engineered wood creates visual depth and architectural interest. This trend allows homeowners to highlight different areas of the home and create a custom look that stands out in the neighborhood.

Bold Front Door Colors

A brightly colored front door has become one of the simplest and most impactful exterior upgrades. Colors like deep navy, rich red, sage green, and warm yellow create a welcoming focal point. We help you select a color that complements your siding and trim for maximum curb appeal.

Energy Performance Focus

Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency in exterior upgrades. High-performance windows, insulated siding, and weathertight door systems work together to reduce energy consumption. Many of our Kansas customers see noticeable reductions in their heating and cooling bills after an exterior remodel.

Understanding what drives the cost of a exterior remodeling project helps you budget effectively and make informed decisions. Here are the key factors that influence the total cost of your project:

Siding Material

The type of siding you choose is the biggest factor in exterior remodeling costs. Vinyl siding is the most affordable option, while fiber cement and natural wood are mid-range to premium. Stone veneer and custom materials are at the top of the price range.

Home Size and Complexity

Larger homes and homes with complex architectural features (dormers, bay windows, multiple stories) require more material and labor. Difficult-to-access areas may also increase costs.

Underlying Repairs

When old siding or windows are removed, underlying issues like rot, water damage, or insect damage may be discovered. Addressing these repairs is essential for the longevity of your new exterior and adds to the project scope and cost.
