Design details

• Texas facade refresh — siding, windows & entry
• A refreshed Texas front facade layering soft white fiber-cement lap siding over a grey-brown stone veneer wainscot, with a warm cedar-clad gable marking the entry. Black-steel-framed picture windows and a black glass-paned entry door with bronze hardware sharpen the composition under a charcoal composition-shingle roofline, and a small covered porch rides on a single black steel post. Late-afternoon light rakes warm shadow across the textures. The intent is HOA-friendly curb appeal that mixes three honest materials — fiber cement, cedar, and stone — without gimmicks.

Project assumptions

• Front elevation only — sides and rear excluded

• Stone veneer priced as manufactured veneer allowance
• HOA approval timelines outside the build window

Options

• Keep sound existing components where compatible.
• Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
• Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.

Trades & site requirements

• Carpentry and finish installation; confirm any specialist trade needs on site.
• Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
• Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.

Permits & engineering

• Verify local permit requirements and HOA restrictions before work; this concept does not establish an exemption.
• Confirm anchoring, concealed wiring and applicable fire-clearance requirements.

Sequence & duration

• Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
• 1–3 weeks
• Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.

Estimate basis & inclusions

• $10,275–$21,000
• Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
• Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
