Project Spotlight: Full Exterior Makeover in Gretna, LA

At Southern Exterior Services, we take pride in transforming homes across South Louisiana with high-quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, and attention to detail. One of our latest projects in Gretna, Louisiana showcased exactly that — a complete exterior makeover that gave this home a fresh, modern look while boosting its durability against the Gulf Coast climate.

Project Overview

The homeowner reached out to us looking for a total exterior update that would enhance the curb appeal and longevity of their home. From siding and roofing to custom woodwork and paint, our team handled every aspect of this transformation with precision.

Scope of Work

Here’s what our team completed on this project:

2,700 Sq. Ft. of HardiePlank® Lap Siding:

We installed durable, low-maintenance HardiePlank® lap siding, giving the home a clean, classic appearance while providing excellent protection against the elements.

300 Linear Feet of Hardie Soffit and Fascia:

To complete the siding system, we installed Hardie soffit and fascia around the home, ensuring both proper ventilation and a polished, finished look to the roofline.

18 New Energy-Efficient Windows:

All 18 windows were replaced with modern, energy-efficient models, improving the home’s insulation, functionality, and overall aesthetic.

450 Sq. Ft. of Tongue-and-Groove Porch Ceiling:

Both the front and back porch ceilings were upgraded with beautiful tongue-and-groove woodwork, which we meticulously installed and then stained to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain, adding warmth and character to the outdoor spaces.

Full Exterior Repaint:

After all installations were complete, we gave the home a fresh coat of high-quality exterior paint in a crisp white finish, creating a timeless, bright, and inviting appearance.

Roof Replacement on Addition with GAF Weathered Wood Shingles:

As part of the renovation, we replaced the roof on an addition to the home, using GAF Timberline® shingles in the Weathered Wood color option. These shingles are known for their durability, dimensional appearance, and reliable protection in high-wind areas like South Louisiana.

The Final Result

This full exterior makeover completely revitalized the look and performance of the home. The combination of modern, durable materials and classic design elements resulted in a finished product that the homeowners — and our team — are proud of.
