Preferred Home Improvement Before & After Photos

A Telford family reimagined the exterior of their longtime home with a custom renovation featuring James Hardie Board & Batten siding, new stone accents, and upgraded front windows that gave the property a completely new identity.

Before:

Built more than 30 years ago, the home had started to feel visually outdated compared to the style the homeowners wanted moving forward. Although the original vinyl siding was still in decent condition, the exterior lacked dimension and character, and the front stone section no longer matched the updated aesthetic they envisioned.

The homeowners began exploring modern exterior finishes and carefully selected materials that would give the home a more refined and high-end appearance while still feeling timeless. After reviewing different design possibilities, they trusted Preferred Home Improvement to bring the project to life through a large-scale exterior remodel.

After:

The renovation completely changed the appearance of the home with the installation of James Hardie Board & Batten Cedar Mill siding in Iron Gray, creating a bold and sophisticated new exterior.

To elevate the design even further, new stonework was added to the front bump out and garage, bringing texture and contrast to the home’s updated look. A new Andersen 400 Series front window was also installed to enhance both curb appeal and energy efficiency.

The finished project delivered a dramatic transformation, turning the once-dated exterior into a striking modern home with custom details and long-lasting materials throughout.

What began as a plan to replace an aging stucco exterior quickly evolved into a complete exterior transformation. The homeowners wanted a home that looked as good as it performed, so they partnered with Preferred Home Improvement to create a cohesive design featuring a new Shadow Brown architectural shingle roof, James Hardie® Cobblestone fiber cement siding, energy-efficient replacement windows, and a beautiful new front entry door.

While the front of the home received a dramatic facelift, the transformation continued around the entire exterior—including the back of the house. Replacing the existing stucco with James Hardie siding gave the rear elevation a clean, updated appearance while providing long-lasting protection from Pennsylvania's changing weather. The new windows brought improved energy efficiency and a fresh, polished look that ties the entire home together from every angle.

By carefully selecting complementary colors and premium materials, this renovation completely reimagined the home's exterior. The result is a timeless design that offers exceptional curb appeal, increased durability, and peace of mind for years to come—proving that every side of a home deserves the same attention to detail and craftsmanship.

This Lansdale homeowner hired Preferred Home Improvement to give their exterior a much-needed facelift. In addition to updating the overall appearance of their home to better align with their style, they had stucco problems that needed immediate attention.

Before:

Problems with the home's stucco caused serious issues, including wood rot. We discussed the stucco remediation process, presenting them with various options and addressing any potential challenges along the way. Our team also walked them through their siding and roofing options.

After:

We installed James Hardie siding, renowned for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, we installed high-quality insulated vinyl siding to ensure the home’s energy efficiency. To enhance the overall aesthetic, we incorporated Prove stone veneer, adding a timeless elegance to their facade. Finally, we completed the project with a beautiful metal standing seam roof, providing lasting protection against the elements.

Before:

Their main problems were centered around their stucco siding. Not only did it require remediation due to water damage and structural issues, but it also caused damage to the window frames. Additionally, the home had an outdated look that was in need of an upgrade.

After:

We replaced the damaged stucco siding with high-quality clapboard siding, ensuring a durable and long-lasting siding solution. To enhance the home’s curb appeal, we introduced ProVia stone veneer to create a stunning focal point. Additionally, we replaced the old and damaged windows with energy-efficient Okna vinyl windows, improving the home’s insulation and overall functionality.

Before:

This Ambler, PA homeowner understood that his home needed window replacement, a new roof, and siding replacement due to rotting wood underneath the stucco.

After:

The homeowner selected James Hardie as a replacement for his home’s siding, and we knew that was the perfect choice for this project.

In addition to installing top-of-the-line siding, our team also built a portico with a metal pent roof for the client. Replacement windows were installed to help protect the new siding and let in the light.

The impressive project was finished off with new asphalt shingles on the roof, a blue stone stoop, and a paver walkway.
