Grand and Inviting Front Entrance

Troy single-handedly transformed the entry of the bungalow he shares with his wife, DeLisa, and their family after a neighbor saw their house on a "We Buy Ugly Houses" commercial. Troy demoed the non-original aluminum, jalousie glass, and uninviting steel security door, and in its place framed a recessed entrance. He installed drywall and insulation and, completed the look with a paint palette true to the bungalow aesthetic. Finishing touches include handmade planters and a back-lit address placard. Troy also built and installed double driveway gates. Mindful of his budget, he completed all aspects of the project himself, and resourcefully salvaged materials like the high-end Craftsman-inspired double doors.
