Why Choose Mulberry for Your Columbus Home Exterior Makeover
Design-Build From Start to Finish
Our designers and builders work together, selecting materials that complement each other, coordinating trades in the right sequence, and ensuring the finished exterior looks exactly as designed.
Material Expertise
We stay current on the latest products, finishes, and exterior trends so you don’t have to. From engineered wood siding to concrete wall cladding and veneer stone, we bring a curated library of options to every project.
A Signature Modern Aesthetic
Mulberry is known throughout Central Ohio for mixing materials and colors to create contrast, depth, and the clean lines that define our signature modern look.
Transparent Budgeting
Every expense is clearly explained and itemized. Once the contract is signed, costs only change if the project scope changes.
Dedicated Project Management
One Project Manager coordinates all vendors and trades throughout your exterior remodel, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Exterior Refacing Pricing
The cost of an exterior house remodel in Columbus varies by project. It depends on the size of your home, the materials you select, and the scope of the work–for example, whether you’re updating one element like roofing or siding, or undertaking a complete façade transformation. Windows, doors, and specialty materials each carry their own cost considerations, and we build your budget around your specific priorities and goals.
Whether a project is large or small, we prioritize early budget alignment so you know exactly where your investment is going before work begins. Transparent planning protects your project from unexpected costs along the way.
Types of Exterior Refacing We Complete
Exterior refacing covers the vertical surfaces and materials that define your home’s appearance–everything that gives it character and curb appeal. In contrast, a full exterior remodel extends beyond the home itself to outdoor living elements like patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens. As part of your exterior home remodel in Columbus or Central Ohio, our team can perform upgrades like:
Siding Replacement
Our most popular product is LP SmartSide, an engineered wood product known for its durability, longevity, and clean finish. We also work with concrete wall cladding, exterior wood slats, and a range of other contemporary materials, including Hardie board–often specified for HOA-governed communities.
Stone and Masonry Accents
Veneer stone applied to foundation areas and accent zones adds texture, depth, and a grounded, high-end quality to the exterior. We frequently combine stone with siding to achieve the layered, mixed-material look Mulberry Design + Build is known for.
Roofing
Whether you’re replacing or updating an aging roof, we handle it as part of the same seamless process. We provide metal and asphalt shingle roofing replacements, all coordinated with your broader exterior material palette for a cohesive, finished result.
Window and Door Updates
Windows and doors are often worth updating during an exterior refacing project, both for aesthetic continuity and energy efficiency. Newer windows and doors create a tighter building envelope, reducing heat and air loss and improving the home’s overall performance.
Exterior Paint
A full exterior paint update can be one of the most transformative and cost-effective changes a homeowner can make. Refresh the entire character of your home–without the need for any material replacements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Home Remodeling and Refacing
Most homeowners consider exterior refacing for one of three reasons: their home’s materials are weathered or damaged, they’re preparing to sell and want to maximize curb appeal, or they’ve purchased a home and want to give it a modern update that reflects their personal style. It’s also common for homeowners who’ve renovated their interiors to turn their attention outward, so the outside of the home finally matches the inside.
Absolutely–and in fact, we often encourage it! Mixing materials is one of the most effective ways to create contrast, depth, and the clean, modern aesthetic Mulberry Design + Build is known for. Pairing engineered wood siding with veneer stone at the foundation, for example, gives a home visual layering that a single material alone can’t achieve. Our designers guide these decisions so the combinations feel intentional and cohesive, not arbitrary.
Both are possible, and the best approach simply depends on your goals and budget. If your end goal is a complete exterior transformation, doing it all at once typically produces the best result, because it avoids the challenge of matching new materials to weathered existing ones. Phased projects can also work well when planned and executed thoughtfully. We think carefully about trade sequencing so each phase sets the next one up for success–for instance, handling siding in one phase and stone work in another.
In many cases, yes. We reach out to the original builder to obtain exterior specs, which are typically kept on file. If the builder is no longer available or records don’t exist, our vendors can color-match and material-match to get as close as possible. However, even materials from just a few years ago can start to look different once they’ve weathered. That’s why, for larger projects, a full reface often makes more practical and aesthetic sense than a partial repair.
It can, significantly. Upgrading to newer siding, windows, and doors creates a tighter building envelope. That means less air exchange between inside and outside, which reduces your heating and cooling costs. It’s one of the functional benefits of an exterior home remodel in Columbus that often surprises homeowners who initially approach the project for purely aesthetic reasons.
The purpose of an HOA is to maintain architectural consistency and neighborhood-wide curb appeal, so they generally welcome well-executed updates. However, while HOAs typically don’t prevent exterior updates, they do govern material types, colors, styles, and sometimes vendors. We review your HOA guidelines during the design phase to make sure every selection is compliant before work begins. That ensures there are no delays or required revisions once we’re ready to build.
In our experience, virtually any home can benefit from some level of exterior updating–whether that’s a full material replacement, or targeted improvements to specific areas. The scope of what makes sense depends on your home’s existing condition, your budget, and your vision. We evaluate all of these factors in depth and give you an honest recommendation before design begins.
Exterior refacing involves more coordination than most homeowners realize: multiple materials, multiple vendors, and a precise installation sequence that affects both the quality and longevity of the result. As a design-build firm, we manage all of that under one roof. Our designers select materials that work together beautifully, our Project Managers coordinate every vendor and trade, and our team ensures the installation is done right. You don’t have to track a dozen moving parts–we do that for you.
