Roofing?

8 years ago

Wow, I like this a lot. I would love to have a house with gardens just right there out every single window. Such good colors, too! I would love to do this to my roof, except that it is pretty old. Did you just call a roofer to have him install the flower beds, or did you do it yourself? http://fredericksburg-buildersoh.com/

We love the roof top gardens as well! On this project, we worked with a local company called Architek. You can see their site at: http://architek.com/

I agree with Carolyn - a new coat of paint can make a world of difference. There's really not too much about the house that 'screams' a certain decade - so you're luckier than lots of us. I hate that teracotta colour on the gable ends personally, and I think that would be good to paint out. I would consider painting al the bits that are currently white a darker more serious colour (grey, taupe etc) and then paint the trim and the entry ceiling white. Also consider painting the roof - as it is a big element and teracotta tile colour doesn't always work with your colour scheme. If you want to make some more permanent changes, you could consider filling in the gable roof lines so they become box gables - and I agree with Carolyn that the entrance roof looks like it is missing a column on the left side.

What are the dimensions? If you are afraid space will be too tight, you could skip the table and just do a grand lounge area: start with a 4 to 5 ft diameter round or square coffee table, then surround that with a U shaped sectional.

Pictures would help. But the advantage of a tall sloping roof is that uplighters will allow the light to travel up along the slope and you might be able to hide lights in the upper beams as well?

Hi mramsey and Alain Thanks for your advice and comments. I found a reflective paint from the US that apparently is meant to resolve the heat issue yet still allowing light to flow through. Doing up drapes is another option. Retractable fabric awning is too expensive for us.
