Remodel Your Home, Your Way
The appearance of your house from the outside is something that you look at whenever you arrive at your property. Whenever it looks drab, out-of-date, and worn out, it can certainly affect the way that you view your own home. If it is stylish, solidly built, and truly attractive, things can be quite different.
Here at Redstone Ridge Homes, we give homeowners throughout Huntsville, Madison County, and North Alabama new life for the exteriors of their houses. Whether it’s brand new siding and roof lines, an addition of a covered porch area or an entire exterior overhaul – our craftsmen can create a new appearance that rivals the beauty of the rest of your home interior.
Why Should You Remodel Your Home Exterior With Us?
North Alabama is a place where there is the hustle-and-bustle city of Huntsville, a city that is very famous for its technology and aerospace industry attracting families from all corners of the United States. Then, there are the cozy and family-oriented small towns such as Madison, Athens, Decatur and many others where people are very proud of their home. Being proud of their homes, it should definitely reflect in the exterior of these houses every single day.
The beauty of the rolling hills, tall trees, and the unique southern setting makes it easy for homeowners to gain an edge. In the case of renovating the outside appearance of the house, it is essential to consider the beautiful nature that surrounds you and design the renovation in such a way that it blends well with the environment. Weather conditions are another very important aspect that needs to be considered while building the exterior renovation.
How the Process Works
Initial Consultation and Vision Planning
Each exterior remodeling job begins with an easy discussion. We come out to your home, take a tour with you around the outside of your house, and carefully hear what it is that you would like us to help you do. Perhaps you already have a very clear idea of what it is that you want done to your house, whether you want a certain type of siding or a new front porch or even a particular set of colors that you’ve had on your mind for a while. Or perhaps you just know that some changes need to be made but you don’t really know how to get started. In either case, we meet you right where you are at.
Exterior Assessment and Condition Review
Before anything else, we begin with a comprehensive and truthful assessment of the present state of your house’s exterior surfaces. It is an important aspect that is commonly overlooked by many contractors — which is why remodeling projects often face problems along the way. Not us. We assess:
- Siding and Cladding Condition
- Roofing and Flashing Condition
- Window and Door Frame Integrity
- Foundation and Drainage Patterns
- Soffit, Fascia and Trim Condition
- Structural Integroity of Existing Porches or Decks
Custom Design and Material Selections
By having an intimate knowledge of your current house and where you see it going in the future, our design staff will create an extensive remodeling strategy that is custom-designed for your house and your area of North Alabama.
These options include:
- Siding Sryle and Material
- Color Palette
- Roofing Material and Color
- Window and Door Styles
- Porch and Outdoor Living Design
- Exterior Lighting
- Stone and Masonry Accents
Permitting and Pre-Construction Approvals
Many home improvement jobs in the Huntsville and Madison County area will involve getting a building permit, especially where there is construction of additions such as porches and decks, roof replacement, and any kind of window and door changes. Just like in all our services, when it comes to obtaining permits for your home improvement projects, we handle everything for you.
Site Prep & Protection
Prior to any work being done outside, we take care of the preparation of your property in order to ensure the safety of all landscaping, driveways, and surfaces on your property while construction is taking place. Plants in the area that might be affected are either covered up or protected from any possible damage. Careful consideration is taken when designating drop sites for any material or debris.
Structural and Substrate Work
Any problems that come up in the evaluation phase are taken care of before the finish work gets done at all. This is when you need to make sure everything is done correctly; otherwise, putting up new siding on top of rotted sheathing or painting trim that doesn’t need to be painted is just putting off trouble.

We construct outdoor areas that allow you to do so in comfort and ease.

- Porch Columns, Railings, and Trim
Exterior Trim, Soffit, Fascia, and Gutters
It is in the finishing touches of a home’s exterior renovation that the difference between a good-looking home and one that is truly finished can be seen. Trim work that has been done to perfection, soffits and facias installed appropriately, and gutters that are the right size – these make all the difference.

Built to Withstand Everything North Alabama’s Climate Brings
Exterior remodeling in North Alabama is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Our region’s hot, humid summers, unpredictable storms, and sharp seasonal temperature shifts demand materials and construction methods that go beyond what looks good in a catalog. A beautiful exterior that was not built with this climate in mind will show its wear long before it should — fading siding, warped trim, water infiltration, and energy bills that keep climbing.
At Redstone Ridge Homes, every material we specify and every system we install is chosen with North Alabama’s specific conditions firmly in mind. Proper insulation can reduce drafts and help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, which is especially valuable during Alabama’s hot summers and chilly winter evenings. From fiber cement siding that resists moisture and humidity to energy-efficient windows that keep your HVAC system from working overtime, we build exteriors that protect your investment from the outside in through every stormy spring, every blazing July, and every season of real life in between. Because at Redstone Ridge, beautiful and durable are never mutually exclusive. They are always both.

How much does an exterior remodel cost in North Alabama?
In Huntsville and Madison County, the cost of an exterior renovation will depend mainly on the amount of work involved. The job of replacing siding on a little ranch house will not be the same as that of completely renovating an exterior that would include roof replacement, windows, a covered porch, and stones, among other aspects. At Redstone Ridge, we begin our projects by providing estimates for our customers. With that, they get an idea of what to expect. Also, we assist in prioritizing projects in case the budget does not allow otherwise.
What is the best siding material for homes in North Alabama?
The weather here in North Alabama makes choosing your siding material that much more critical. Siding made of fiber cement such as James Hardie is still one of the best materials for the area, since it will protect against moisture, decay, insects, impact, and paints well in our environment. Another good siding material is engineered wood, which has a more natural appearance to it. And, if saving money is an objective in your project, vinyl siding could be an affordable choice. In our consultation, we’ll discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and how well each performs over time.
Will an exterior remodel increase my home’s value in North Alabama?
Absolutely – exterior renovations are always among those projects that yield high ROI in real estate. Considering how strong the market situation is in Huntsville and Madison County, an increased curb appeal will affect not only the appraised value but also the buyer’s interest in the property. The installation of siding, a new roof, improved windows, and an appealing design of a covered porch will be something that buyers are looking for. Plus, there is also the satisfaction of coming home every day and seeing your house just the way you like it.
How do I know when it is time to replace my siding versus just repainting it?
It is a common question homeowners ask us. Re-painting can be done if there are no major problems with the siding material itself and just the paint has become worn-out and needs to be refreshed. Replacement needs to be considered if the siding has been warped, buckled, cracked, has soft spots, and is water damaged. Continuous paint flaking may indicate the presence of moisture inside — re-painting will not solve the problem. During our initial examination of your property’s exterior, we will help you make the right choice.
Can you add a covered porch or outdoor living space to my existing home?
Absolutely — we can’t think of many more satisfying external additions than those we provide to North Alabamians. An effective porch redesign will revolutionize the way a family makes use of its home, particularly since our summers offer the ideal weather for sitting outdoors. We cover everything involved with creating a porch addition from structural engineering and permits to framing, decking, trimming, ceiling installation, lighting, and other finishing details. If you need an ordinary porch or an expansive outdoor area, we would be honored to assist with its creation.
