We renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick. RUDLOFF Custom Builders has won Best of Houzz for Customer Service in 2014, 2015 2016 and 2017.

This detached garage near Greensfelder County Park was built to look like the house it sits next to. The lower level is a two car garage with ample work room space. The second floor is a children's play room which could also serve as a nice office space or crating area.

The Canyon Ridge Collection is a line of energy efficient faux wood carriage house style garage doors constructed from a durable, low-maintenance composite polymer material. The five-layer door features a ½”-thick cladding and overlay material adhered to a 2” three-layer polyurethane insulated steel base door with a thermal break for superior strength and energy efficiency. With a 20.4 R-value, it’s well insulated to improve comfort year-round. Unlike real wood, the door is moisture resistant, so it won’t rot, split, shrink, or crack. The cladding material and overlays are molded from actual wood species to duplicate the natural texture and grain patterns that give wood doors a one-of-a-kind character. The surface can be painted or stained. The addition of insulated rectangular windows across the top section lets natural light flow into the garage while maintaining energy efficiency. Other designs, cladding types and finishes are offered to fit a variety of home styles. Photos by Andy Frame.
