This classic cottage was doubled in square footage. Special attention was given in replicating the original detail. Engineered slate was used to match the existing natural tri-color slate roof. Four types of different brick were selected and the colors were mixed and laid to match the existing brick spectrum blend.

 The remaining detail was a simpler process matching the soffit, fascia, copper flashing and wood trim.  Self-construction project managed. Construction project managed.
