It’s been said that “the devil is in the details”. If true, this newly constructed house may be a poster child for the expression. Aside from the chartreuse paint, this house looks a lot like other newly constucted homes. Even from the street there are a few inconsistencies visible – more are apparent closer up.
The following series of images speak for themselves…
The garage door frame is just plain awkward due to its asymmetry. The gabled roof above it crops the second floor window sill. The uppermost gable’s fascia is bridged at the peak unlike the two below it.
Fascia and drip edge detail…
More fascia and drip edge details. Seams in the gable’s soffit are visible despite the textured finish.
Detail of manufactured stone veneer installation.
More details!
…and more…
Entry.
Fascia detail.

I wonder how much manufactured stone weighs?
The glaring sloppiness of details like that are the kind of thing that really bugs me.
Agreed… it’s just plain sloppy. And all too common!
Sloppy is the word.
The stone and trim is treated as if it was wallpaper instead of structural.
The eye sees the difference. Thanks
Wallpaper, indeed! Our culture is rapidly resembling a “genuine imitation veneer”… I can’t help but wonder what these finishes will look like in 20 years (if they haven’t been replaced or destroyed by then).
The dryvit exterior will not last long either. . .
