Man - we really do not know how to "pretty up" a building, do we? Hate to add to the "Windsor is ugly" diatribe, but that renovation should have been left in the building supply yard!
Nice, simple, sign.
C'mon, Chris, don't you think those anonymous bushes were a nice touch to go along with the nuclear missle silo grey siding?
Hey, at least it's not stucco! :)
Was the original building brick, cinderblock or stucco? I can't tell from the black and white.

I really like the brick addition to the facade. Its classic look matches the original size and shape of the building, while adding some more functional space. Other than that, the buildings look remarkably similar, both in form and function.
I wonder if the persons leaving terrible comments were even born when my Dad opened this business, their comments sound so juvenile. Maybe they should research what work was done in this shop instead of nasty comments on the exterior!
so tell me peggy was your brother named john?
