HOMES FOR SALE WINSTON SALEM NC -EXTERIOR REMODELING

Winston Salem homes are selling!  Spring has sprung, the neighborhoods are being spruced up, to enjoy a well deserved respite from the news "That Groundhog" gave us a several weeks ago.  It was a long winter to say the least!

                                                    Finally!  We're enjoying greener grass, the trees are budding, and the daffidils are blooming, especially in the established neighborhoods like where I live.  That's where you'll find the beauty of nature, because families have had time to see their efforts "take root", so to speak. 

It's also the time to begin those projects like exterior painting, enclosing a patio with privacy fencing or installing those energy efficient windows. 

Mine this year was the privacy fencing. 

We moved two houses down recently. I'll save that one for a later blog.  Anyway, the new house is on the corner and has no backyard privacy.  We have the best neighbors and we wanted to keep it that way.

Our garage doors are the white vinyl type, so I decided to stay with the same material and shoot for vinyl fencing to match.  I'm a firm believer in not having a variety of building materials used on a home exterior, which comes from my architectural background. 

I called Lowes Home Improvement and Home Depot to get some pricing, with the 12 months, no interest plan, of course!  Lowes got this one.    

Can you see why we needed a Privacy Fence?

I was intrigued at how simple it appeared, but that's because of Justin Latham's skill and experience which definately played a huge role. 

The land was pretty level, but not entirely.  How to match up the tops to be in a straight line was one decision process...                    

 As they made the 90 degree turn back towards the house, it was more important to me to have the tops level for that entire run, rather than "stepping it down" to meet the gradual slope of the land.  That decision turned out well.                

They ran into a problem next to the sunporch because the footing for the house extended out underground alittle too far, not allowing a post hole close enough to the structure.   No worries, though, because Justin cut a piece of another panel, used some additional brackets and secured it to the last post and the brick.   Problem Solved!

 

It was a good project and a pleasant experience.  I highly recommend Lowes' sales person, David Glascow, for the planning, estimating, and ordering materials.   You can contact David at (336) 768-2400. Justin Latham will do right by you, as he did for me!  (336) 477-5008 

Several of the neighbors have asked for his contact information to do other types of fencing for them.
