Sorority Exterior Remodel
More than a facelift
We look at your building as a whole system. When we plan an exterior retrofit, we always look at where we can improve your underlying structure. It's often the right time to insulate walls, seismically reinforce the structure, add rainscreen for durability, update wiring, repair rot, fix plumbing and prepare for future projects.
“We are repeat customers who demand high quality, high touch and tight timeframes of the large scale remodel projects for our Corvallis sorority. GCCI was also our go-to for the unexpected ... we received exceptional service to get the house livable in just over 2 week's time.”

Project details
New durable siding and windows
New siding and windows helped make this Sorority house more energy efficient. We replaced drafty single pane wood windows and exceptionally leaky "California" vents with new Milgard Montecito windows. Replacing siding provided the opportunity to insulate the walls. Then we added a rainscreen system to extend the longevity of the new Hardiplank siding and paint.
A new front entry
Dryrot and roof leaks had caused significant damage to the front entry. Over two summers we replaced the rotten beams, column, canopy, ceiling, siding, and floor epoxy. The old front door was also an ongoing maintenance problem, so we recommended a Rogue Valley Fir door and transom to bring light into the entry.
What our Clients are Saying
“The family of five having traveled all over the globe and resided in over a half-dozen different countries, wanted their new home to have a clean, modern aesthetic for a perfect complement to their eclectic collection of world art. The L-shaped house wraps embraces a large garden terrace. Expansive windows and doors flood every room with generous daylight and views of the garden. This is especially evident in the open plan great room, where tall ceilings, a restrained material palette of luscious wood floors, quartz countertops and windowsills, and bright blue-painted kitchen cabinetry are highlighted by instances of rusted steel wall panels and art niches custom-painted by one of their daughters. ”
