A Bricklayer And His Home

Jack was a bricklayer, and his house told the tale.

Over the years, he’d added section after section to his home. And with each new section came a different type of addition. Various materials were used, including:

• Brick
• Stone
• Wood
• Cinderblock

With new homes, they’re built in a very uniform fashion. But with Jack’s house, having been built over a long period, you could see where each new addition was made.

Building and roof lines intersected at multiple points, creating complex angles and tie-ins. This made Jack’s home unique, but would also later present quite a challenge for us – a challenge we were eager to meet.

An Outstanding Soffit And Fascia Installation

Building your own home is a tall order. Jack had been at it for what looked like decades, and he’d gotten to the point where he was ready for some detail work to be done.

Jack called Clemens Home Solutions to have us come out and tie parts of his custom-built home together.

He wanted professionals who specialized in soffit and fascia, which we do.

Upon inspection, we found holes, gaps, and some wear and tear. Time had robbed Jack’s home of some of its original beauty, and we were going to help restore it.

Jack was exceedingly happy with the work we did on the soffit and fascia on his home.

There were a couple of sections on his home that weren’t part of the plan, but if not done, it wouldn’t have brought the home’s look together. So, we also completed the soffit and fascia in those areas.

Jack’s Original Exterior Home Remodeling Plan For His East Central Indiana Home

The soffit and fascia work we did on Jack’s home was a huge first step. Initially, he wanted a new gutter system installed.

During our meeting and home inspection, we discussed his options and recommended that the soffit and fascia be completed first. The house would need to be prepared this way to allow for a gutter installation.

After our initial meeting with Jack in 2021, we didn’t move forward with the project until 2025. We were there to inspect his home, give recommendations, and allow him the time and space to make decisions about what he wanted to do.

And in Jack’s case, that likely meant more of his own building additions before we stepped in to help with the specialized work.

We were glad Jack trusted us with his home, and our crews did exceptional work on his soffit, fascia, and the gutters we installed.

Jack was pleased with our work. His home looks great, and we look forward to continuing to work with him.

Common Questions About Custom Home Exterior Work
With Clemens Home Solutions

Q: Can Clemens Home Solutions Handle Complex Custom-Built Homes Like Jack’s?

A: Yes. Jack’s home had been expanded over decades using brick, stone, wood, and cinderblock, creating multiple rooflines, angles, and tie-ins. Our team specializes in this kind of detailed, non-cookie-cutter work. We carefully assess how all the pieces of your home fit together. Then, we plan soffit, fascia, and gutter installations that respect your existing structure while improving both performance and appearance.

Q: Why Did You Recommend Doing The Soffit And Fascia Before Installing New Gutters On Jack’s Home?

A: Soffit and fascia form the “frame” that supports a properly installed gutter system. On Jack’s home, there were gaps, holes, and wear that needed to be addressed first so the gutters would sit correctly and function long-term. By tackling the soffit and fascia before the gutter installation, we set his project up for success rather than simply hanging new gutters on a compromised surface.

Q: What If I’m Not Ready To Move Forward With My Exterior Project Right Away?

A: That’s completely okay. With Jack, we first inspected his home and shared our recommendations in 2021, but the work didn’t move forward until 2025. We’re here to provide expert input, help you plan the best sequence for your projects, and then step in when you’re ready – whether that’s right away or a few years down the road. Our focus is on doing the right work at the right time for your home.
