You showed us your amazing curb appeal transformations. Now see which ones were finalists in our Reader Remodel Contest, as picked by you and the editors of This Old House
I did the design work using old 3D Architect software and Photoshop. Exterior changes included adding a front porch and a rear screen porch, building a garage/workshop/loft addition, replacing shingles with new HardiPlank siding, adding a paver patio off the side walkout basement, replacing concrete walkways with brick and bluestone, and removing overgrown bushes and trees. The wood front door was rebuilt, and I built the new wooden carriage-house garage doors. Most demolished building materials were reused, recycled, or donated to minimize waste. Much to my wife's dismay, the house will never be "finished," as I love to build.
Who did the work: I did most of the work myself. Cost: $50,000 to $100,000
