Giving New Life to an Old Favorite
Every small town in Washington has one — that old, rusty garage sitting beside the house, full of tools, tractors, or memories. It’s been there for decades, maybe even generations. The roof might be rusted, the siding worn, and the doors creaky — but underneath, it’s still standing strong.
That was exactly the case with this garage in Adna, WA. The homeowner wanted to give new life to a beloved building without the massive expense of tearing it down and starting over.
At Zepp Construction, we specialize in smart, practical solutions that deliver long-term results — and this project was the perfect example of that.
Inspect, Restore, and Rebuild the Right Way
The first step was a full inspection to determine whether the building’s framing and structure were still in good condition. In this case, the bones were solid. The framing was strong and only needed minor attention before new materials could be added.
That’s when we built a plan to re-skin the building with new metal roofing and siding — transforming it from weathered and worn to crisp, clean, and modern.
During the facelift, we also took the opportunity to improve the building’s functionality:
- Repaired framing where needed for extra strength
- Added new drainage and downspouts to prevent water pooling
- Fixed door and window trims for a tighter, more weather-resistant seal
- Installed brand-new metal siding and roofing in a warm tan and brown color combo that complements the surrounding property
From Rust to Remarkable
The transformation was dramatic.
The before photos show a familiar sight — faded metal, rust patches, and years of exposure to the Pacific Northwest weather. But by the time our crew wrapped up, you’d never guess it was the same building.
The new metal siding gives the garage a fresh, modern look while maintaining its rugged character. With a fully updated exterior, this old structure now looks brand-new — and will stay that way for decades.
In fact, the homeowner told us that several neighbors thought we’d built a brand-new garage from the ground up. That’s the power of a Zepp Construction facelift done right.
Why a Garage Facelift Makes Sense
Instead of spending $150,000 or more to replace a structure that’s still sound, a facelift gives property owners the best of both worlds — a modern look and years of extra life, at a fraction of the cost.
A properly executed metal siding and roofing upgrade can:
✅ Extend the building’s life by 25–30 years
✅ Improve drainage and prevent rot
✅ Boost property value and curb appeal
✅ Protect against future weather damage
It’s a smart, sustainable choice — and one that fits perfectly for homeowners across Adna, Chehalis, Centralia, and the surrounding areas.
