Irving Park Historic Home Renovation
In this historic home renovation in the Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago, we did a complete update of the outside of this century-old house. The front porch was completely rebuilt with decking and railings made out of Trex, a PVC-based wood alternative, and a ceiling made out of Douglas Pine. We changed the porch soffits from aluminum to Douglas Pine and added electrical outlets to the porch ceiling to make it easy to plug in Christmas lights.
