Project gallery

Before, after, and the part in between.

Real photographs of our own work on a Chicagoland custom home — nothing staged, nothing borrowed from a stock library.

Before & after

The transformation, both elevations.

The same custom home, photographed mid-build and again on completion. Drag the handle on each — or use the arrow keys — to move between the two.

The same home finished: cream stucco upper walls, a dark board-and-batten gable, light stone veneer and black-framed windows
Custom home mid-build with Tyvek HomeWrap over the sheathing, a ladder against the front gable and stone veneer started on the right wing

Front elevation

Tyvek, ladders and a dirt yard to a finished cream stucco elevation with stone veneer and black-framed windows.

The same rear elevation finished: a smooth white stucco field, the full-height stone chimney with its outdoor fireplace, and tall black-framed windows
The rear elevation mid-build, wrapped in Tyvek HomeWrap, with the natural stone chimney built and the paver patio laid

Rear elevation and chimney

The same house from the patio side — wrapped sheathing and a bare stone chimney to a smooth stucco field and a finished outdoor fireplace.

Filter by stage. Captions describe what is actually in the photograph — nothing more.

  • Finished front elevation of a custom home: cream stucco upper walls, a dark board-and-batten gable, light stone veneer on the right wing and black-framed windows throughout

    Front elevation, finished — cream stucco above a light stone veneer base, with black-framed windows and a dark board-and-batten gable.

  • Finished rear elevation of a custom home with a smooth white stucco field, a full-height coursed natural stone chimney housing an outdoor fireplace, dormers and a paver patio

    Rear elevation, finished — a smooth white stucco field meeting a full-height natural stone chimney with an outdoor fireplace, over a paver patio.

  • The same custom home mid-build, with Tyvek HomeWrap over the sheathing, a ladder against the front gable, a dumpster trailer parked on bare dirt and stone veneer started on the right wing

    The same front elevation mid-build — Tyvek HomeWrap over the sheathing, stone veneer started on the right wing, ladders still up.

  • The same custom home's rear elevation mid-build, wrapped in Tyvek HomeWrap, with the natural stone chimney already built and the paver patio laid

    The same rear elevation mid-build — walls still wrapped, with the stone chimney built and the paver patio already laid.

This gallery is still growing.

Everything here is from one recent custom-home project. We would rather show you four real photographs of our own work than fill a page with somebody else’s. New projects go up on our Facebook page as they finish, and this gallery grows with them.
