“With the 4:12 roof pitch, overhangs, lateral appearance of the windows, and shallow height of the house, designing a traditional house would be over-building and changing the character of the house,” Rocha explains. Instead, he redesigned the one-story form into an updated Napa style.


Rocha believes that street appeal is key to any remodel. “One of the most important aspects was the entry and the fireplace portion of the front elevation,” he says. “Creating a house that could be built today without changing the character of the existing house enabled us to maintain much of the exterior.” The team spec’d stone veneer, stucco, and then topped the house with a cool roof product by MonierLifetile, a Boral Roofing Company. The original 1,800-square-foot house had three bedrooms and one and a half baths. The new design gives it four bedrooms and three and a half baths at 2,400 square feet.
