A 1960s split-level in West Hartford had chalking vinyl, cracked corner boards, and soft trim at the garage wing where gutters had overflowed for years. The owner wanted durable cladding without the maintenance cycle of painted wood.
Fancy House replaced failing cladding on the main elevations, repaired sheathing at the garage wing, installed CertainTeed MainStreet siding in Granite Gray, and rebuilt corner boards, frieze, and soffit transitions for a cohesive split-level profile.
Project Result
The West Hartford split-level now has a uniform gray exterior with crisp garage-wing details, better drainage coordination at the roof edge, and vinyl performance suited to Hartford County freeze/thaw cycles.
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
The home regained its painted-lady character with a sage green Hardie exterior that is easier to maintain and better suited to Bridgeport's mixed coastal-inland weather.
