Project: Stucco Painting, Exterior Repairs, Shutters, and High-End Decking

Exterior stucco walls and wood trim are painted, and repaired shingles are stained.

The front of the Melrose house gets finishing touches, including a new, insect-resistant porch deck, new trellises, and a porch light.

Carpenters install new prepainted shutters made from synthetic materials, with old-fashioned hinges and hardware.
