Carey’s DIY Success
"With the time I had on my hands and a little DIY experience, I decided I would tackle the exterior myself. I quickly researched paints to use for the brick and decided I wanted to go with a clean black and white look."
Carey worked tirelessly for several months to master her exterior to the point she wanted to get it to.
"A month and a half later of using three different types of paint, working a sprayer for the first time along with a brick painting brush amongst other tools, many fearful roof and ladder moments all while completing the job during my 2 year old’s nap time and in the evenings, it was finally done. Every inch of paneling, brick, trim, soffit, facial boards, and gutters were painted."

Suzan’s Exterior Facelift
"When we moved into this house in October 2019, I knew that one of the things that I had to replace was the vinyl siding on the exterior. This cute little 100 year old bungalow deserved better than ugly vinyl siding!"
Over time, Suzan and her husband pulled off the vinyl siding and went with stucco to revamp the outside of the house.
"We hired the contractor, put the deposit down and the work began a few days later! To say I was nervous is an understatement!"
The nerves paid off!
