Current Project!



Westside Curb Appeal project is located in Peachland, BC.




We worked closely with the owners to come up with a design that would suit their needs.


They were looking for a cottage meets Big White style home using River Rock and rough cut lumber within their budget!


While staying in budget we choose to keep the current colour of stucco and work with it!

The owners choose a River Rock and we worked together to pick just the right colour that would show off the rock and work with the rough cut lumber.



To give the home more Curb Appeal we removed the large tree from the front of the home as well as the exsiting sidewalk and stone paveway!



( The new walkway and patio is a future project)

We were able to re-clad the exsiting beams with rough cut lumber to beef them up!
The wood railings were replaced with black metal railings.

We choose black railings so the focus was not on the railings but on the rock and lumber work.

We trimmed out all the front windows in rough cut lumber to match the wood beams.

The exsiting siding was painted and The rock work begins!

Check back for more work in progress photo's.

Testimonals







WESTSIDE CURB APPEAL


Last year when we were planning major renovations on our house we were referred to Westside Curb Appeal.

Chris and Sheldon met with us and completed the work making all appointments and completing the work on time. We found both of them pleasant to work with and always came to favorable conclusions in discussing design concerns. They cooperated with the trades people including those we had hired and we were very satisfied those they recommended.

We now have a completely remodeled kitchen, main bathroom, laundry room and other work. We are very happy with the results and recommend them to others.

Chris has done a lot of work for us.

In 2007/2008 he renovated a house we purchased in Westbank in to an office building, and has done some work on our residence in Peachland.

He has also done some extensive work for friends and clients and they have all been very pleased. Also he’s very punctual and extremely reliable!
Great Guy, great worker!

How to Improve Curb Appeal
Home Selling Advice to Help You Attract Potential BuyersA large percentage of home buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house or take it seriously based on its curb appealthe view they see when they drive by or arrive for a showing.
You can help make sure they want to come inside your house by spending some time working on the its exterior appearance.
Curb Appeal Exercise The next time you come home, stop across the street or far enough down the driveway to get a good view of the house and its surroundings.
What is your first impression of the house and yard area?
What are the best exterior features of the house or lot?
How can you enhance them?
What are the worst exterior features of the house or lot?
How can you minimize or improve them?
Is the approach clean and tidy?
What could you do to make it more attractive?
Take photos of the home's exterior. If you have a digital camera, view the color versions first, then remove the color and look at it in black and white, because it's easier to see problems when color isn't around to affect our senses.
* Make a list of the problem areas you discovered.
Tackle clean up and repair chores first, then put some time into projects that make the grounds more attractive.
*Kill mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, or driveway.
*Stow away unnecessary garden implements and tools.
*Clean windows and gutters.
*Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy decks.
*Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation growing between concrete or bricks.
*Mow the lawn. Get rid of weeds.
*Rake and dispose of leaves, even if your lot is wooded.

A Few Curb Appeal Tips :

* If you can budget it, a fresh paint job does wonders for a dingy house. Drive around your town to find color schemes that are appealing.
* Install a more attractive front door, maybe something with leaded glass inserts.
* If you can't justify the cost of a new door, consider replacing plain doorknob hardware with something more attractive.
* If new hardware is beyond your budget, repaint or stain the door and polish the hardware?
If you brainstorm, you'll find that there's a solution to most problems—one that lets you stay within your budget. The trick is to find the areas where improvements are needed, then work on them as best you can.
