We;re quite smitten with this renovation that’s underway at 28 Jackson Place, a sweet little block tucked away in South Slope. The front facade is totally done and workers had just gotten started on the side wall when we went by. There’s a Property Shark picture of the home pre-renovation after the jump.

  1. Thanks, I will totally check out Perfect Renovation.

    Dave, you are so very very very welcome to check out our place any time. We would love to have you over. Email me at moparbrownstoner at gmail. We don’t live in one of those early places, though. It’s totally late Victorian (Eastlake/Aesthetic Movement) gingerbread — currently masquerading as a 1950s suburban ranch house, unfortunately.

  2. While this is a relatively simple look, it’s also real easy to screw it up and God is in the details.
    Kudos to the builder/designer in this case. They made sure to end/start the siding courses level with window tops and bottoms, the cornice scale is good, they kept the door and window heights on the same level, little things that you don’t think you notice really make a difference in the overall appearence. Unfortunately, there are a lot of builders out there who don’t pay attention to the little things, so you can have two different jobs with different contractors, both with the same budget, one comes out great, one, not so much. The scary part is, I don’t think it’s always a case of contractors who don’t care, or are unscrupulous, but many times a case of not knowing the right way to do things. It’s scary how many hacks there are out there. Makes me appreciate people who obviously know what they are talking about like Master Plumber and Montrose Morris all that much more.
