Direct from the Designers’ Desk: Phenomenal Fall Facades

Even before the comforting fragrance of warm pumpkin spice begins wafting in the air and a glorious harvest moon rises overhead, autumn comes alive with the most exquisite front porches, concrete driveways and front yard landscaping MainVue Homes has to offer.

No detail is too small. No element is overlooked. That’s because our MainVue team of design professionals knows that first impressions matter – and sophisticated curb appeal is vital to homebuyers and their guests. Equally important: each distinctive facade by MainVue Homes is an outward expression of the modern beauty and luxury inside.

What grabs your eye first? Most homeowners are drawn to the spacious covered front porch. It’s why we pay special attention to making it equally attractive and functional. With a palette of brick, stone and other contemporary elements, entry columns complement the rich organic color schemes that bathe the siding and roofing.

It’s the spot where milestone first-day-of-school and puppy’s first leash-walk photos becomes the perfect stage for cherished lifetime memories. There’s no better place to roll out your very own “welcome” mat.

Year-round, your front porch is also the first things guests see – but it’s especially important in autumn when li’l ghosts and goblins likely come trick-or-treating at your gorgeous contemporary glass entry door. A vertical sidelight window flanking this door adds an additional modern element.

As fall weather takes its brisk and often wet turn and autumn segues into the season of gratitude, MainVue’s sophisticated looks emphasize safety with our exposed aggregate designs for driveways and walkways. The durable, non-skid surfaces we select are ideal for Northwest weather. Textured finishes offer practicality – and complement all the exterior finishes, styles and color schemes of your home.

Also ideal for Northwest weather: MainVue’s professionally designed front yard landscaping. Carefully selected plants and lawn features are selected to thrive in their specific climates. That means the lush and green setting is as attractive as it is sustainable throughout the year.

That leaves homeowners to use their MainVue walkways and steps to the front porch to create places to showcase seasonal displays. Imagine bushels of seasonal mums and gourds, pots of dramatic sunflowers – and your finest carved jack-o-lantern.

With façades this engaging, even your delivery drivers will applaud.
