A Comprehensive Exterior Home Remodeling Project with Purpose and Personality
Bringing New Life to a Beloved 1973 Home in Sandy Springs, GA
When long-time Sandy Springs (Atlanta), GA homeowners decided it was time to prepare their 1973 residence for a future sale, they knew the exterior needed a complete refresh. Their vision: modernize the home while maintaining its character—and make sure every detail added value for the next family who would live there. Nelson Exteriors was proud to be the trusted partner to bring that vision to life.
A Referral Built on Trust Leads to a Transformative Renovation
Referred by one of our previous clients, the homeowners connected with our team, ready to take the next step. He originally met with Nelson Exteriors President Scott Nelson, who provided a thoughtful, detailed consultation. But then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and the project was understandably put on hold.
Fast-forward four years: the homeowner reconnected with Nelson Exteriors, and Scott insisted on revisiting the property to provide an updated, accurate quote. That extra care left a lasting impression. The Fulton County homeowners appreciated Scott's professionalism, thorough recommendations, and respectful, personalized approach to the planning process. It was clear from that point on that Nelson Exteriors was the right team to bring their vision to life.
What Does A Full Exterior Home Remodel Include?
At Nelson Exteriors, a full remodel can include siding replacement, deck installation or resurfacing, exterior painting, gutter upgrades, and more-tailored to your home's needs.
What We Delivered: Deck, Siding, Paint, Gutters—A Full Exterior Revival
Led by Project Manager James Chappell and supported by Job Coordinator Lyndsey Trice, the project included:
- Deck Resurfacing using Trex Enhance® Composite Decking in Saddle, stained with Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck®.
- Full Siding Replacement with Hardie® Plank Lap Siding in Cedarmill for durability and style.
- Exterior Painting, including painting the home's brick for a clean, updated look.
- Gutter Installation to improve water drainage and finish off the aesthetic.
Real Challenges, Real Solutions: Behind the Scenes of a Smooth Finish
Every home has its quirks, and this one was no different. From material logistics to unexpected weather, our team handled each hurdle with care:
- Weather Workarounds: Rainy days in Atlanta led to careful scheduling changes without disrupting momentum.
- Rotten Deck Framing Boards Discovered Midway: Our team quickly shifted gears to repair the structure properly before moving forward with the deck resurfacing.
- Trim and Brick Alignment: The original architecture required special adjustments to ensure new trim fit perfectly over brickwork—a small detail with big visual impact.
- Seamless Deck Transition: Creating a natural flow from the existing interior deck to the newly resurfaced exterior deck took extra precision and planning.
- Limited Space for Materials: With a smaller driveway and limited staging space, phased deliveries kept the site safe and efficient without overwhelming the homeowner's property.
A Unique Experience—Complete with Furry Supervisors
One of the standout elements of this project was its documentation. Our marketing assistant was able to visit the site regularly and capture the transformation from start to finish, giving us valuable content and helping the client see progress along the way.
Adding a touch of fun, the homeowners' outdoor cats became frequent visitors and unofficial mascots during the remodel—bringing unexpected smiles to the team throughout the process.
The Final Result: Clean, Contemporary, and Completely Refreshed
At project completion, the home had a stunning new look and significantly improved exterior functionality. The homeowners were thrilled—not only with the craftsmanship but with the collaborative process from start to finish. Their glowing five-star review on the Better Business Bureau highlighted our team's responsiveness and professionalism, reinforcing the value of a thoughtful, well-executed remodel.
