1904 Italianate in South Dakota Gets Help
Before
Ugly deck removed and new colors.
Alternative color scheme.
This house has a deck which should never be there. You never ever have a deck in the front of the house. This house did not have a porch on the front either. The original porch was where the addition is on the right side not in the front as one may expect. Plantings are needed to soften up the front of the house. New steps were added but a stair rail was not part of the scope of work. Corrected color placement and new colors allow this house to shine in all its glory.
Scope of Work:
- Remove that deck.
- New historic colors and color placement corrected.
