ADD A GABLE BRACKET OR PEDIMENT
Gable brackets and pediments are a beautiful addition to the roof line of your home, peak of your porch, or edge of your entryway. These handcrafted pieces made of either cellular PVC or rustic wood compliment all kinds of exteriors and add architectural interest and detail to free-standing structures such as gazebos and pergolas too. With hard-to-find specialty designs, traditional construction, and one-of-a-kind modern and whimsical features, there is a style to fit everyone’s personality.
ADD SHUTTERS
Today most shutters are purely decorative, referencing a hallmark of traditional residential architecture. They come in every style and material imaginable to fit your style and budget. Shutters are the perfect addition to your home’s exterior because they can add a pop of color, improve t he look of old windows and break up the monotony of brick, siding or stucco. Vinyl, cellular PVC, composite, real wood, rustic wood and polyurethane faux wood collections are all available through Ekena and we have experts available to help choose style, materials, colors and additional hardware to give you just the look you’re wanting.
ADD GABLE VENT
From functioning air flow vents to decorative additions, a new gable vent is an easy affordable way to improve the appearance of your home. We offer the widest selection of shapes to fit all kinds of houses and with endless sizes, there are truly limitless possibilities. There are lightweight surface mount options to give that special touch to an empty peak, or durable recessed and surface mount functioning options to let your attic breathe and regulate heat. Choose wood if staining to match other exterior features or pick water resistant urethane and PVC for painting applications. It’s the perfect cherry on top of a beautiful house.
