This Rodeo Ridge build is moving fast—and today you’ll see why. We’re back on site walking through fresh masonry, smart moisture management, and big interior milestones.

Out front, the profile shifts with a stepped center roofline, a decorative gable porch, and a darker R-panel roof that caps the whole look.

Our mason crew is installing a gray ledgestone water table with proper slope and weep holes, finishing it with crisp metal flashing and black J-trim to tie into the exterior color package.

Behind the stone, you’ll see our weatherproofing approach: Zip System sheathing with liquid flashing at the slab interface and taped penetrations around windows and doors—details that protect the envelope long-term.

Inside, the star-accent steel entry doors open to a cathedral-ceiling great room that runs front to back, framing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces with tons of natural light.

We’re at drywall now across roughly 2,900 sq ft of living area, with 10-ft ceilings through most rooms and an ERV planned to keep air quality dialed.

The layout keeps a split-plan feel:

• Large primary suite with dual-vanity bath
• Private shower (cement board to ceiling + waterproofing)
• Deep soaking tub with clerestory light
• Closet connected directly to the laundry

Down the hall you’ll find secondary bedrooms (one with a private bath), thoughtful storage, and a true walk-in pantry off the kitchen.

Out back, we flush the porch ceiling for a clean finish and frame a screened-in porch in wood with Zip over the structure, then cap it in metal to keep water where it belongs.

We also added a half bath at the rear to serve the outdoor living zone.

The attached 1,200 sq ft shop uses steel framing, so we manage the envelope differently:

• Closed-cell spray foam on roof and walls
• Extra fasteners for durability
• Purlins framing window openings to prevent foam distortion

That contrast—wood + Zip for the home, steel + foam for the shop—helps prevent condensation and water intrusion while keeping the overall design cohesive.

The window package is Andersen 100 Series with white grids, and interior finishes are staged so cabinets can roll in next.

From the masonry ledge work to the soffits and trim still to come, this is a great snapshot of how the Rodeo Ridge plan comes together: durable materials, clean lines, and details that make life easier after move-in.
