BEFORE
Original portico was centered on window but not on the door. The columns were too close together and crowded the door. The portico also was too low blocking the beautiful spider web leaded glass transom. The Designer, Kaja Gam specified Windsor One moulding, for a really clean classic look. A new door and leaded side lights were added to complete the look. The tricky part was removing all of the above and putting in new bluestone steps and deck and supporting the load up above. These columns are load bearing.

Update: Congratulations to our winner Fred Eche, who took home the prize with his Ginerbread House.
*Contest is closed.
Beginning August 16 and running through September 29, Fine Homebuilding readers can submit photos of their favorite exterior trim details for a chance to win the new Senco Fusion cordless nailer.
We’re in search of those crowns, casings, and columns that separate the instant classics from the cookie-cutter homes. It may be a carefully reproduced railing on a historic home, or it could be the subtle proportions on those new widow casings that make the front of the house pop.
Contest ended on September 29, 2010.
Winners were announced on October 8, 2010.
