Pearl Gray
The ranch had faded 1990s vinyl, loose corner posts, and failing J-channel at window openings that allowed wind-driven rain behind the cladding. The homeowner wanted a low-maintenance refresh with better color depth before listing the home.
Fancy House removed the existing siding, installed a continuous weather-resistive barrier, and hung CertainTeed Monogram Double 4 lap siding with new insulated corner posts, window surrounds, and ventilated soffit at the eaves.
Project Result
The Berlin home presents a clean pearl gray profile with tighter trim lines, improved moisture management at openings, and a finished street view that reads as a full exterior upgrade rather than a partial patch.
More Work
The home now has a crisp, modern exterior profile with a durable cladding system better suited to Connecticut weather and long-term curb appeal.
View project
The home now presents a clean gray coastal profile that holds up better to shoreline weather while keeping the classic Westport porch character intact.
View project
