Custom Home in Libertyville
A custom home in Libertyville in green lap siding over a stone base, with shake in the gables, a dormer and a covered porch across the front.
Green siding, stone base, porch across the front
The front of this one does a lot of work. Green lap siding sits over a stone wainscot, shake fills the gables, and a covered porch on square columns runs across the entry. A dormer breaks the roof above the front room. None of it is complicated, and all of it has to line up.
Siding, stone and shake meeting on one elevation is where sloppy work shows first. Getting it right is a question of settling the materials at specification stage and then holding the trades to it, which is easier when the same people are running the job from the first drawing through to the final walkthrough.

The elevation leads, since the change from stone to lap to shake is most of what gives the front its depth.
