Home improvement projects are a great way to improve your house’s aesthetic. A fresh coat of paint, a new rug, or a new set of kitchen appliances can make a big difference without breaking the bank.
Marty Maynard is an exterior remodeling consultant for Richmond Exteriors in Massachusetts. He has a wealth of experience and enjoys helping homeowners with their exterior renovation projects. He also loves camping with his family and helping them solve problems while outdoors.
Briefed to extend and enhance this suburban Melbourne home, Maynard sought simple, pragmatic means to boost the home’s performance. A folded steel stair saves a riser; the kitchen bench becomes part of the stair; council-mandated screening reflects heat and glare, eliminating the need for curtains; insulation is everywhere, including inside the roof space; and the design avoids any gimmicks or ‘green gadgetry’. These are clever, well-thought-out strategies that make good use of the existing footprint and resources.
