It's interesting to see a new home being constructed, and in particular, "coming out of the ground".  The foundation can be the messiest and perhaps the most critical component of a home.  This home is the newest design in our Portfolio Homes.  This Four-Square design is one of the most popular architectural designs and blends perfectly in established neighborhoods in Bethesda,Chevy Chase, McLean and Arlington.

Kitchen renovations are exciting and fun projects.  This kitchen in Arlington, VA boasts new WoodMode custom cabinets, Subzero, Wolf and Thermador applianaces and two islands.  One island includes a sink and ample prep area.  The other island, closer to the family room will have a beverage refrigerator, icemaker and several stools for counter-top seating. Natelli worked with Thomas French Architects in McLean to expand the back of the home on the 1st and 2nd floors.  Efficient scheduling and confident decision making by the client made for a quick and timely renovation.

Its not too difficult to imagine summer temperatures with winter and the drizzley, damp and chilling freeze during the winters in Washington, DC.  Working from October through March allows for swimming when the warm temperatures of spring and summer arrive.  In this project, Natelli Homes installed a kidney-shaped pool, with a screened porch, a great room with vaulted ceilings and kitchen space for summer outings.  We used JeldWen SiteLine clad windows and slate roofing to match the original custom home that was also built by Natelli.

As with many of our projects, Natelli Homes coordinated the overall site planning, architectural design and construction of the project.

Changing the front elevation of a home in Bethesda and installing Eagle replacement windows makes a huge difference to a home in Bethesda, MD. 












By elongating the front windows, we introduced more light into the Dining Room and Living Room.  Removing the old metal porch rails and supports and installing PVC columns and rails changed the architectural style of the home.  The balcony rails will go on in a few weeks - I'll share the final photo then.

Changing a home from old Andersen windows to new energy-efficient Eagle windows makes a huge difference to a home in Rockville, MD. Removing the aluminum siding and installing HardiePlank lap siding by James Hardie combined with the Eagle window replacements makes an even larger energy tranformation for the homeowner.  After removing the old aluminum siding, Natelli installed Tyvek house wrap and Vikor window flashing making for a weaterproof and long-lasting installation.  It is easy to justify investing in energy efficient renovations with new windows, Tyvek house wrap and long-lasting HardiePlank siding.

This old fireplace with split face surround really needed some help.  Not only was it unattractive, but the previous builder set the fireplace behind the wood wall.  With a little creativitity and good marble and millwork shops, Natelli made custom extensions on the fireplace surround so the colonial wood mantle would fit properly over the fireplace.  Sometimes big problems have simple solutions.

Without a doubt the most effective and efficient way to improve your windows is the full replacement process.  Many replacement window companies offer insert windows, which are generally less expensive, but don't offer the full range of energy efficiency as full replacement windows do.  While Natelli Homes does offer insert windows, we much prefer to replace the entire window frame and re-insulate around the entire window, just as it would be installed in one of our renovations or new homes.  Just evaluate the insulation that is injected around this Eagle full replacement window before the new clad brick mould and shutter is applied - it's not hard to see and understand why this is so much more effective.  You won't get this type of installation in the insert replacement window process.  Our Marvin window replacement process offers the same energy efficiency.

Have you even been tempted to call a builder who advertises at a ridiculously low new home sales price or cost per square foot?  Builders see the obvious transparency, but we wonder how potential clients or homeowners who eventually build with these companies feel after the process.  Did the builder deliver the quality and materials that were expected?  Did they even come close to the budget at the end of the day?  Was the scope complete for the advertised price or were there thousands of dollars unaccounted for that landed in the homeowner's lap.  Caveat emptor would be our advise.

Budgets and blending quality and expectations in a new home can be the most difficult effort between a client and a home-builder.  I am proud that Natelli Homes has the unique ability to provide dependable, accurate and all-encompassing budgets for new custom home construction or renovations.  The attached letter is not unique, in fact we accumulated have hundreds of them over the past 20 years or more.

Feel free to contact us for a complimentary consultation for your new home, renovation or window replacement needs.

We had quite a challenge on this modification to a bedroom wall in Potomac, MD.  Removing the
existing windows, brick veneer and wall structure was detailed enough but installing a steel moment frame and then perfectly fitting combinations of new Marvin casement windows, awning windows and picture windows raised the bar quite a bit.
