A complete exterior transformation
From a worn shed to a renewed space outside.
The roof and front elevation were addressed together: worn materials came off, the underlying construction was exposed and new surfaces were built up in sequence. The final roof, siding, doors and trim give the shed a consistent appearance.
Explore all 16 photographs and three short videos below. Each clip sits beside the stage it documents, from the starting condition to roof removal and later roof-edge preparation.

The work, step by step
Stage 01
The original shed
The shed started with a weathered roof, damaged door bottoms and an exterior that needed more than a fresh coat of paint. The front and side views establish the existing condition before the structure was opened up.

Stage 02
Removing the worn roof & opening the exterior
The old roof covering and damaged edge materials were removed first. Opening the roof perimeter exposed the construction beneath, while removal of the front doors and cladding created access for the next part of the renovation.

This clip follows the early roof-removal stage and shows the exposed construction before the new roof deck and finishes were completed.
Stage 03
Exposing the framing & renewing the roof deck
With the front elevation stripped back, the wall studs, door opening and roof construction were visible. The work then progressed to fresh roof decking, creating a continuous surface for the roofing layers that would follow.

Stage 04
Installing the front siding & preparing the finish
New vertical siding panels were fitted around the front windows and the double-door opening. The raw panel surfaces were then prepared and coated white, giving the front of the shed a cleaner, more consistent appearance before roofing and final trim were complete.

Stage 05
Preparing the roof edges & adding underlayment
Work continued along the roof perimeter before underlayment was installed over the renewed deck. The photographs show this intermediate roofing stage from several angles, including the eave and front edge. These layers came before the final shingles and the completed door assembly.
With the front siding already coated white, work continues along the roof edge. This clip marks the transition from the renewed front wall to the next roofing layers.

Stage 06
Finishing the roof, double doors & exterior details
New shingles completed the roof covering. The double doors, trim, shutters and visible hardware were brought together in the final exterior, turning the worn shed into a coordinated garden outbuilding. The last photograph shows the completed result with the doors closed.
