Exterior Rehabilitation
Winner
Dan and Michelle Miller
The Millers’ rehabilitation project uncovered the hidden beauty of their Chicago bungalow. A sensitive cleaning of the masonry revealed a rich golden colored brick to match the recently rebuilt chimney. The porch wing wall was rebuilt and the entire structure was re-pointed. After the removal of the aluminum covered soffit, facia & upper portions of the limestone cap, the Millers replaced the rotting wood with new wood and cleaned the limestone caps. The thoughtful restoration of their bungalow has given the Millers a new and deeper appreciation of what a Chicago bungalow was 80 years ago, and what it is today: their Chicago home.
