Siding
The siding on your home represents one of its most visible aspects, and dictates much of the home’s architectural appeal, maintenance schedule, and resale value. And, as with so many other elements of building today, you have more choices in siding materials and styles than ever before. So, if you’re building new or about to undertake a remodeling that will involve residing, here are just a few of the many products on the market that are worth taking a closer look at:

Fiber Cement
Cement fiber siding products that have grown immensely in popularity in recent years. They are manufactured from a blend of portland cement, ground sand and cellulose fiber, then mixed with water and other additives. The mixture is formed into a variety of siding products that are hard, durable, extremely fire resistant and very dimensionally stable, as well as very attractive. Products are available as individual lap siding boards in both smooth and wood-textured finishes, as beaded or grooved lap siding, as wood-textured siding panels (similar to plywood siding panels), in stucco-look panels and in siding shingles.

Cedar Shingles
Homes sided in cedar shingles (also called “shakes”) blend beautifully with wooded landscapes. Made of natural cedar, the shingles are usually stained browns, grays, or other earthen colors. Shakes offer the natural look of real wood, but usually require less maintenance than wood clapboard. By using stain rather than paint, you can minimize peeling.

Windows
Wood windows are a great way to enhance the beauty of your home. Wood is a natural insulator, extremely durable and resistant to time and weather. They can be formed into a variety of sizes, shapes and configurations. By using only the highest quality materials we capture wood’s natural elegance and charm.

Gutters
GutterStuff®Pro is easy to install - it is not screwed to the roof or the gutter lip. It either slides into the gutter under the spikes or hangers, or it can be trimmed to fit over the hangers. It can be installed into Half Round gutters with any common gutter sealer.

Because GutterStuff®Pro is attached only to the gutter, it can be used with equal ease on any roof type: shingle, tile, slate, and even on flat roofs. Anywhere a gutter is hung is a good place for GutterStuff®Pro.

Vinyl
Vinyl siding use has grown tremendously in recent years on houses of all types and all price ranges. Advancements in the construction and rigidity of many of the upper lines of vinyl siding now offered by several manufacturers have created a siding that hugs the wall tighter and has a straighter configuration than previous generations of vinyl, which tended to sag and develop a concave configuration after installation. And of course, you have the added advantage of never having to paint it.
