Before & After: Tiny, Forgotten Farmhouse Gets a Big Upgrade
Before & After
Before
This tiny eastern New York farmhouse suffered from years of neglect - the yard was overgrown, the roof deteriorating and the entryway all but gone. Where most people would say raze and start again, the homeowners and team at EJT Contracting saw an opportunity for a second life. Their vision included a bold exterior makeover and improved energy efficiency.

After
After new doors, windows, siding, trim, roof and a little landscaping, this little farmhouse is new again.
"The goal of any project is to give homeowners something that really provides them with a ‘wow’ feeling," said Eric Tetreault of EJT Contracting.
