Classic Brick Colonial — style reimagining

Style

Classic Brick Colonial

Inspired by Gil Schafer / Peter Pennoyer / Allan Greenberg· no affiliation

Gil Schafer / Peter Pennoyer lineage — symmetric brick, classical portico, true-divided-light windows.

• Symmetric formal proportion — classical 5-bay or 7-bay front elevation.
• Substantial brick or painted-clapboard siding — period-appropriate proportion.
• Classical entry portico with substantial Doric or Tuscan columns — full-height, painted white.
• Multi-pane double-hung windows with true-divided-light — 6-over-6, 9-over-9, or 12-over-12 patterns.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
