About this project
Years of weather had taken a toll on this classical entry — peeling paint, failing caulk, and rotted trim around the door surround.
We rebuilt the damaged millwork, restored the fluted pilasters and header detail, and repainted the whole assembly to a crisp, clean finish that gives the entry its curb appeal back.
