For this project, Royal Contracting was asked to remodel the outside of Craftsman to make it more functional and increase the curb appeal, and among other things, make the front entrance a more prominent feature of the house. The primary reason the owners wanted to remodel is to change the way they enter their house - the path from driveway to front door involved a long walk through the porch and around the corner using the sidewalk. You can see the "before" path in red on in the attached picture.
Remodel the Front Entryway and Porch
Overhaul the entryway so that it matches the original building as much as possible. Change the entryway so that it is not necessary to walk through the enclosed porch to get to the front door. Add walkways from the new front entryway to the street, and from the entryway to the driveway. Repair the existing front porch to make it structurally sound. Add an entrance from the existing basement to the crawlspace under the front porch to make it more accessible.
Back Entryway
Remodel existing back entryway so that it is more attractive and matches the architectural style of the house.
