There’s no place like home…except maybe your weekend home!

We all need a getaway once in a while; a place to escape the grind of our weekly routines, indulge in our hobbies and enjoy time with family. In the case of these clients, they have built a weekend getaway in Ridgeway, SC, in Fairfield County, just for this very purpose! Their interests include horseback riding and being outdoors and Belk Builders was able to help bring their vision of the perfect weekend getaway to life with high quality, low maintenance exterior materials to allow more time for enjoyment rather than upkeep!

Many factors were considered during the planning of this family retreat with special attention to the exterior. The homeowners chose to use higher quality materials for the siding and roofing specifically for their superior low maintenance features and maximum durability. After all, they will be spending approximately a third of their time here each year to indulge in their leisure activities…not maintenance! After consulting with the homeowners regarding their needs and wants, we recommended and installed Hardie® Plank siding with Board and Batten accents to surround the entire barn. This classic style of wide, vertical "boards" coupled with smaller width wooden strips called "battens" covering the seams between boards, provides texture and dimension, adding visual interest. Strengthened by its renowned ColorPlus® Technology, Hardie® Plank is a durable, low-maintenance choice that will last for years.

To complement the barn’s facade, we also suggested a metal roof for this project. In addition to aesthetic advantages, modern metal residential roofing is low maintenance and it provides energy savings and exceptional durability, even under extreme weather conditions. The longevity of this type of roof significantly outweighs the more other replacement materials needed for lower cost conventional materials. Frankly,  who doesn't enjoy the sound of rain as it bounces off a metal roof?
