This full-scope exterior makeover brings fresh, low-maintenance curb appeal to a 1960s ranch tucked beneath the Cascades. Weathered wood cladding was replaced with HardiePlank lap siding in “Cascade White,” a tone that brightens the façade while standing up to Gold Bar’s wet winters and sunny summers. Deep graphite trim frames an insulated garage door and entry, sharpening each architectural line. A new roof of CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles in “Weathered Wood” adds dimensional texture and a 40-year warranty. Black seamless gutters disappear beneath the fascia for a crisp profile, while cedar deck boards were re-stained to harmonize with mature evergreens. The result is a clean alpine palette that lifts the home’s value and slashes future maintenance.
