What does an exterior design service include?
Exterior design covers the complete look of your home's facade: materials, rooflines, entries, windows, trim, color, and lighting. At Luxe it includes scaled elevation drawings, curated material selections, and a fixed itemized budget, and then the same crews build the design.
How much does an exterior remodel cost?
Exterior remodeling costs depend on scope, so a new entry and trim package costs a fraction of a full facade renovation with new stone and rooflines. Every Luxe project gets a fixed, itemized budget before construction. Exterior work tied to a home addition is priced within the addition budget, typically $100k to $200k.
How long does a facade renovation take?
Most facade renovations run several weeks to a few months on site, depending on scope and season. You'll get a realistic timeline with your fixed budget during design.
Do you handle permits and design review?
Yes. We prepare and submit permits, engineering, and design-review documents for you. Several towns we serve hold exterior changes to strict review standards, and we build that process into the schedule.
Can you design the exterior for an addition or custom home?
Yes, and that's where exterior design matters most. When one team designs the addition and the facade together, the new construction looks original to the house instead of attached to it. The same applies to a custom home, where the elevation comes before the first framed wall.
Can you match our existing brick or stone?
In most cases, yes. We source compatible brick and stone, tune mortar color and joint profile, and design transitions so new masonry sits naturally beside old. Where an exact match isn't possible, we design an intentional contrast rather than a near miss, because a near miss is what reads as a mistake from the street.
