Hello everyone,
we are currently considering how we want/could design the exterior appearance of our house. It starts with a new coat of paint and some minor repairs to the facade and gutter. Then we thought about removing the rough plaster completely and giving the house a smoother (more modern) render. Of course, that changes the cost significantly. The wood in the entrance area and under the roof overhang also needs painting. The question here is whether to keep the natural wood tone or switch to white. Of course, that is all a matter of personal taste...
The appearance of our terrace railing is also a matter of taste. We might have chosen a more subtle design if we had bought it... 😎 It is an aluminum substructure that is basically indestructible. We are still thinking about whether to replace the railing at some point. That’s why everything should look more “harmonious” in the end, if you know what I mean 🙂
When someone from the painting company came to inspect, their first words were definitely to keep the plaster as it is, since you probably won’t find anything easier to maintain, and you can also do a lot with the paint.
Here are photos with the old wooden windows:
The front door will be replaced in a few weeks. The new door is white and features three square glass elements:
Ideas... suggestions... opinions... are welcome 😀

The plaster is still intact, right? Or how was it again?

And as I already said: I would have painted that over a weekend 😉 There’s no better work for personal satisfaction!The railing or the house?Schimi1791 schrieb:
The railing or the house?The railing, windows, and similar elements I still paint today; not houses anymore. However, in my younger years, I painted houses twice: spray-on plaster, and that on a two-story building. You do that with a wide brush, dabbing it. Having your own scaffolding is always worthwhile 🙂Schimi179127 Apr 2021 06:24Yes, the railing could certainly be installed as a DIY project. We have included everything in the quote for now.
First, the leak at the left garage entrance still needs to be located.
