• Dark-roof contrast — matte black standing-seam metal OR dark slate.
• Black-painted wood structural accents — visible structural members at corners and entries.

A light remodel plus targeted structural additions: a covered porch, a roof dormer, a garage conversion, a small footprint extension (10-15%). Brings character without major permits.
