The estimated budget is between $10,000 and $25,000, with an estimated completion time of 3-6 months. Roof (Approx. 80 sq m): Replacing the existing roof with black slate tiles adds a touch of classic elegance and durability. The dark color contrasts beautifully with the light-colored walls. Walls (Approx. 160 sq m): Renovating the cr\u00e9pi to an off-white (blanc cass\u00e9) finish brightens the exterior and provides a clean, updated look. This color choice complements the black slate roof and the stone wall. Garage Door (Approx. 2.5m x 2.2m): A new, modern garage door enhances the functionality of the garage while adding a contemporary touch to the overall design. The design should be simple and elegant to fit the traditional style. First Floor Bay Window (Approx. 2m wide x 1.5m high): Replacing the shutter with a large bay window allows more natural light into the interior and provides an improved view of the surroundings. This modern touch enhances the living space. Balcony: Removing all vegetation from the balcony creates a cleaner, more refined appearance and prevents potential damage to the structure. Frontage (Approx. 10m long x 0.8m high): Replacing the existing hedge and wire fence with a low stone wall (muret) adds a sense of permanence and sophistication to the property&#8217;s frontage. The stone wall provides better security and visual appeal. Windows: Maintaining the current style of the windows ensures that the original character of the house is preserved while blending seamlessly with the new renovations. These changes combine traditional charm with modern updates, increasing the home&#8217;s curb appeal and functionality within the specified budget and timeframe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proposed Exterior Remodel Roof: Replace existing roof with black slate tiles.
