Overview
The Podlogar family's traditional Libertyville home was suffering from aging aluminum siding with visible seams and weathering that compromised both its aesthetic appeal and weather protection. They sought our expertise to completely modernize their home's exterior with durable materials that would provide superior weather resistance while creating a clean, contemporary appearance that would stand the test of time.
The Challenge
The existing aluminum siding showed significant deterioration with visible age-related wear and color fading that diminished the home's curb appeal. The overall aesthetic felt outdated with inconsistent trim elements and decorative shutters that created visual clutter rather than enhancing the home's architectural features.
Results
Our team executed a comprehensive exterior renovation with premium materials and expert installation:
- Siding & Trim System: James Hardie fiber-cement plank siding in Navajo Beige, complemented by Arctic White Hardie Trim around windows after removing outdated black shutters for a cleaner, more unified appearance.
- Doors: Provia Signet Fiberglass Entry Door with Spectrum Full-View Storm Door and Pella 250 Series patio door, all in white, for a refreshed update.
- Soffit & Fascia: Mastic vinyl Ventura soffit in Desert Sand color, paired with matching Performance Aluminum Fascia and white gutters, for a durable weather management system.
Conclusion
This comprehensive exterior transformation successfully modernized an aging aluminum-sided home with premium fiber cement materials that provide superior durability and weather resistance. The strategic removal of visual clutter and addition of functional architectural elements created a clean, contemporary aesthetic that significantly enhances the home's value and neighborhood presence.
