For Bob Dane and his wife, Linda Wilkens, choosing to rehab their 2,000 sq ft Dutch Colonial home was an emotionally-charged and necessary decision. Decades of exposure to Virginia weather had begun wearing on the home’s exterior. The couple knew in order to maintain its value and integrity, they would have to renovate, risking many of the exterior characteristics they’d grown to love. It was an intimidating endeavor.
The roof was in dire condition and it was showing. The 3-tab shingles were poorly installed and were causing leaks in several areas. Moss and algae were growing rampant and the shingles themselves were warped and loose. Additionally, a portion of the damaged roof had an extremely low slope. This made it virtually impossible for the older roof to properly defend against water intrusion, resulting in leaks and poor drainage.
The Farmer home was in dire need of an update. With stained siding and collapsed gutters, this French Colonial home had taken on a dreary look. The family knew they needed to put some work into the home to bring it back to its glory, but they were adamant about maintaining their home’s French Colonial look — classic, elegant, and fitting for the area. Exterior Medics was excited to deliver an end result that would honor the home's beauty.
