Complete Exterior Renovation: 2,800 sq ft Traditional-to-Modern in Elmhurst, IL

Project Details

This Elmhurst family wanted to completely transform their dated 1990s traditional home into a modern aesthetic — without demolishing and rebuilding. The key was color and material coordination: Onyx Black GAF roof, Iron Gray James Hardie siding, black-framed Andersen windows, and a sleek black ProVia entry door. The monochromatic dark palette with crisp white trim is the quintessential modern exterior that's dominating design trends. The transformation was so dramatic that the village building inspector came by just to see the result — and complimented the work.
