Multi-Phase Exterior · 20-Unit Community · Delaware, Ohio
A coordinated transformation,
one phase at a time.
Shelbourne Forest
Completed May 2026
Twenty units in one community, improved in stages rather than in a single pass. The work moved from the fabric of each building outward: first the trim and screens, then a community-wide change to the appearance of the shutters and entry doors. Each phase carried its own approval, its own schedule, and its own weather.

The Repair Foundation
The project began with the components that protect each unit — wood trim and screen assemblies replaced across the community. That work established a sound, consistent base before any appearance decisions were made.
Treating repair first meant the later finish work would be applied to sound material rather than covering over deterioration.
The Color Transformation
With the base work complete, the community moved to a coordinated color change across the shutters and entry doors — a consistent appearance carried unit to unit rather than decided individually by each owner.
The two scopes were sequenced deliberately: finishes follow repair, and both follow the association's approval.
