Exterior Wood Restoration – 1010 W Lewis St, San Diego
Our team at Prominent Builders completed an exterior restoration project at 1010 W Lewis St in San Diego, focusing on repairing deteriorated exterior wood structures and restoring the architectural character of the home. Over time, weather exposure and termite activity had damaged several exterior elements including the entry trellis and privacy wall structures. We carefully restored these features while improving durability and curb appeal.
View Project PhotosProject Overview
At 1010 W Lewis St we carefully demolished the deteriorated front privacy wall and entry trellis and rebuilt them with new structural framing, exterior siding, and decorative trim to restore the original Craftsman character of the home. Our goal was to preserve the architectural style while reinforcing the structural integrity of the exterior features.
After reconstructing the wood structures, we fully prepared all new surfaces through sanding and priming before applying professional exterior coatings designed to protect the wood from long-term weather exposure. The result was a clean, refreshed front elevation that enhances the overall appearance of the property.
The restored entry elements now blend seamlessly with the existing home while significantly improving both curb appeal and structural durability.

Construction Process
We began by inspecting the damaged exterior wood elements to determine which components required replacement and which areas could be restored.
Our crew carefully removed deteriorated wood sections including the privacy wall and entry trellis, then rebuilt the structures using new framing members and structural supports.
We reconstructed the entry features using new exterior siding and decorative trim that preserved the original Craftsman-style appearance of the property.
All new wood surfaces were sanded, primed, and painted with durable exterior coatings to ensure long-term protection and a clean finished appearance.
Project Results
The completed restoration transformed the front elevation of the property. By rebuilding the privacy wall and entry trellis with new structural wood and decorative elements, we restored the architectural charm of the home while reinforcing the structural stability of the exterior features.
The refreshed woodwork and new exterior finishes significantly improved the curb appeal of the property, giving the front elevation a modern, clean appearance while maintaining the original Craftsman design.
