How It Works
From vision to reality in 5 simple steps
We've refined our process over 20+ years to make your exterior design experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Discovery Call
We start with a quick phone conversation to understand your vision, timeline, and budget. No pressure, just answers.
In-Home Consultation
Mark visits your home to assess the space, take measurements, and discuss design possibilities in detail.
Design & Proposal
You receive a detailed proposal with design concepts, material selections, and transparent pricing.
Build Phase
Your approved design is handed off to our trusted installation partners, with regular progress updates along the way.
Final Walkthrough
We do a comprehensive walkthrough together to ensure every detail meets your expectations before project completion.
AI Pictures vs. a Real Design
An AI picture is not a plan.
AI house images are everywhere, and they are great for first ideas. But an AI image is just a picture. It doesn't know your home's structure, rooflines, real siding and window products, local codes, your budget or your style. It can show something that can't be built, or that costs far more than you expected.
I use AI myself for fast first options. Then I finish every design by hand, so it's accurate and something a crew can actually build.
Mark Jensen
Fits your house.
Your rooflines, windows and structure, not a stock look.
Real products.
Siding, stone and windows you can actually buy and price.
Built to your budget.
No surprises when the bids come in.
