One of the common questions people have with additions is how the new work will sit alongside the original.
I always aim for a seamless blend between old and new, reusing original materials where possible and choosing new ones that will age naturally over time.
On this porch project, for example, we carefully reused the existing larch boards to keep the tones consistent. The new roof sheets are a little fresher right now, but they’ll weather in and soon sit comfortably alongside the originals.
