A refresh of the exterior was in order for our client’s home – fresh paint and building a portico. Given the front of their house faces North, it was beneficial to have sun and weather protection. Our client shared her dream of a metal roof with round columns while her other half shared his desire for a haint blue porch ceiling. This project encompassed new light fixtures, a new Andersen storm door and a new paint scheme all around the house. Within the light fixtures, we installed simulated gas flamed bulbs for a special touch.

Fun Fact: Haint blue porch ceilings are particularly popular in the Southern United States. It is believed that the color originated from the Gullah Geechee people who used haint blue to protect against evil spirits.
