Older brick homes
Bexley’s colonials, Tudors, and foursquares often have brick walls, original wood details, steep roofs, and big trees. Updates should keep that character instead of making the house look brand new.
Slate, tile, and built-in gutters can hide where a leak starts. A good inspection tells a small repair apart from a roof that needs replacing.
New windows should match the size and pattern of the originals. Old painted surfaces and plaster inside may need extra planning.
For Bexley homes, the next step is a written plan for the roof, gutters, windows, and finishes that keeps the house’s character.
