Case Study
The Situation
Munger completed extensive structural work throughout the clubhouse. Our team removed and replaced the front wall, lower windows and porch. We also installed energy-efficient ICYNENE spray-foam insulation and new insulated windows and doors.
To complete the exterior improvements, Munger replaced the porch roof and constructed architectural trim from durable PVC materials. These upgrades preserved the clubhouse’s traditional character while providing long-lasting, low-maintenance performance.
