At State Construction, a trusted leader in Wisconsin custom exterior construction, we take pride in projects that push craftsmanship beyond the standard—and this home is a perfect example of what happens when vision, precision, and experience come together.
This remarkable lakefront residence was a complex exterior build that demanded attention to detail at every angle. From dramatic rooflines to curved architectural elements, our team was responsible for executing the exterior finishes that ultimately define the home’s character.
Project Overview
This project was designed to be both elegant and enduring. The architecture features sweeping curves, custom gables, and layered rooflines—elements that require a high level of expertise to execute correctly. Our scope of work focused on delivering flawless finishes that complemented the home’s unique design while ensuring long-term durability.
Scope of Work Included:
Custom ceilings and soffit systems
Precision-built curved soffits and architectural details
All fascia installation
Complete exterior trim package (windows & doors)
Full cedar shake siding installation
Custom Ceilings & Soffits: Built to Impress
One of the most striking features of this home is the custom soffit and ceiling work. The curved soffits and extended overhangs required exact measurements, custom fabrication, and expert installation.
Our team carefully shaped and installed each soffit section to maintain smooth transitions and clean lines—especially critical in the arched gables where even the smallest inconsistency would stand out. The result is a seamless, flowing exterior ceiling system that enhances both aesthetics and function.
Fascia & Trim: Precision in Every Detail
Fascia and trim are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in protecting the structure and defining its visual appeal. On this project, we installed all fascia boards and completed detailed trim work around every window and door.
Each trim element was custom-fitted to ensure tight joints, clean edges, and long-term weather resistance—while maintaining a refined, architectural finish that complements the home’s design.
Cedar Shake Siding: Classic Beauty, Modern Craftsmanship
The exterior was finished with cedar shake siding, chosen for its natural beauty, texture, and longevity. Installing cedar shake siding requires experience and patience—proper spacing, alignment, and fastening are essential for both performance and appearance.
Our team meticulously installed the siding to create a uniform, balanced look that enhances the home’s character while allowing the material to age gracefully over time.
From Construction to Completion
This project is a true testament to what State Construction delivers:
Skilled craftsmanship
Attention to architectural detail

Seeing this home transition from framing and weather barrier to a finished, polished exterior was incredibly rewarding. It stands today as a showcase of what’s possible when quality workmanship meets thoughtful design.
