Greetings from the Marvel Builders team!
Yes, we are still hard at work in Gilbertsville, and yes… it’s still cold! ❄️ Despite the chilly temperatures, our team has been pushing forward with determination and precision to bring this beautiful project closer to completion. We’re excited to share this week’s progress and the details that are really starting to make this home stand out.
Finishing the Turret Trim and Siding
This week, one of our major milestones was completing the trim details and siding on the turret. The turret has been a focal point of this project, and adding those final touches has truly brought the architectural features to life. Clean lines, precise cuts, and thoughtful craftsmanship are what make these finishing details shine. It’s always satisfying to see how trim work can take a structure from “under construction” to “nearing completion.”
Seamless Gutter Installation
In addition to the trim, we installed seamless gutters throughout the exterior. Seamless gutters not only enhance the appearance of the home but also provide essential functionality. By directing water away from the structure, they help prevent erosion, foundation issues, and water damage—an important detail, especially in areas prone to rain and snow like ours. Plus, the seamless look complements the clean exterior lines we’re aiming for.
Moving Onto the Dormers
With the turret details wrapped up, we shifted our focus to the dormers. Dormers play a significant role in both the interior and exterior of a home, providing additional space, natural light, and visual interest. To ensure they stand out just as much as the turret, we began installing DiamondKote shakes. The textured finish and rich color options of DiamondKote shakes add character and durability, creating a beautiful contrast with the surrounding siding. These materials are designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their beauty, making them a perfect choice for this project.
Why We Chose DiamondKote
You might be wondering why we opted for DiamondKote on both the turret and dormers. Simply put: durability, beauty, and longevity. DiamondKote products are designed to resist fading, peeling, and chipping, which means less maintenance for the homeowner in the years to come. And let’s not forget the aesthetic factor—these shakes give the home a high-end look that blends timeless design with modern performance.
The End is in Sight!
With each passing week, the finish line comes into clearer view. The combination of meticulous trim work, quality siding, and standout architectural features like the turret and dormers is transforming this house into a true showpiece. We can’t wait to share the final results with you all!
Thank you for following along with us. Your support means the world, and we’re thrilled to continue bringing you along for the journey. Stay tuned—there’s more to come, and we promise it’ll be worth the wait!
Until next time, stay warm and keep building dreams!
