Overview
This Libertyville home was showing significant wear, with aged aluminum siding that had lost its luster and appeal over the years. The homeowners approached our exterior remodeling team at HX Home Solutions seeking a complete renovation that would address deterioration issues and modernize their home's appearance while improving its resistance to Chicagoland's harsh weather conditions.
The Challenge
The existing aluminum siding had deteriorated considerably, with visible seams and weather damage compromising the home's insulation and protection. The overall aesthetic felt outdated, with black decorative shutters around every window and minimal architectural definition that didn’t showcase the home's potential.
The Process
Our comprehensive exterior renovation transformed this Libertyville home with premium materials and professional installation:
- Siding & Additions: As certified James Hardie installers, we replaced the old aluminum siding with modern fiber-cement Lap siding in Cotton White. Old soffit, fascia, and gutters were replaced with Mastic premium options.
- Architectural Enhancement: Decorative shutters were removed, while prominent white James Hardie Arctic White Trim was added around the windows.
- Patio Entry Door: A functional new side entrance with a small roofed section was constructed to improve the home's flow and add architectural dimension.
The Outcome
This exterior transformation successfully updated the home with a clean, modern aesthetic while significantly improving its weather resistance and durability. The balanced design choices eliminated dated elements while enhancing the home's natural architectural strengths, creating a refreshed appearance that will maintain its appeal for decades.
