Before: When Tiffany Jen closed on her 2049-square-foot house in the Catskills in 2019, “the whole house was in really rough shape, but it had potential,” says Tiffany. “The first thing I noticed when I approached the house was how the paint on the exterior was down to its raw wood, and some of the wood around the deck was moldy.”

It took around one week of print time to complete the wall system for each home—a process that would typically involve four steps or more using traditional building processes, including framing, drywall, and siding.

The back patio was in a sorry state. The pool was crawling with algae, the concrete pavers were cracked, and most distressing of all, the slender wood posts supporting the roof had been clad in chunky 1980s tile. Jessy and Steve were anxious about what they might find once they were removed. “You never know what’s underneath,” Jessy says. Fortunately, the tiles came off easily and had actually protected the wood from the elements. French windows, added some years ago when the garage was illegally converted into a rental, were also discarded. “They had no business being there,” says Jessy, with a laugh.
