What We Did
- Sherwin Williams® stain
- Anderson® Woodright windows
This customer contacted us because they wanted to replace their windows and take advantage of the tax credit. They also decided to powerwash and stain the home because there was mildew growing on the house.
We began this project by replacing 11 double hung windows with Anderson® Woodright windows.
We also replaced a few smaller casements and replaced one large casement combo with a clean looking triple casement fixed style window.
Then we powerwashed the home and stained it with Sherwin Williams® stain. We also painted all fascia, window framed and rake boards with Sherwin Williams® latex paint.

What We Did
- Replaced 15 double hung windows, 2 picture windows
- Replaced the front door
- Painted the Exterior
This house was built in 1967 in a great neighborhood in Quincy. It had been about 7 years since it was painted, so it was time to do it again. The customer chose us to come in and get the job done. There was significant peeling on some parts of the house, which needed a lot of scraping and sanding, but overall the house was in good shape. The house was finished with Sherwin Williams Superpaint in a blue for the siding and white for the trim. The last touch was a door that was installed in the front of the house. It was a Thermatru Smoothstar door that was very energy efficient and opened and closed a lot better than what they had.
Over the next few months the customer noticed how much warmer he front hallway was because of her front door, and then realized how bad her windows were in the rest of the house. She called us again to replace her windows and we did.
We installed new Simonton Generations Triple Pane windows. All together there were 15 double hung windows and 2 picture windows that our guys were able to install quickly and efficiently.
It was starting to get cold out, so the customer liked that we could get the job done in a good time frame. She said "I am very satisfied with the work that was done in installing new windows in my home. The work was done in a neat and timely fashion. The windows look great!"
Since the windows were installed, we have talked and she said she loves the windows, but she can't figure out the thermostat. She has to keep putting it down because the windows insulate so well, so it is a nice problem to have. She also commented on the noise reduction of the windows which she likes very much.

What We Did
- Norandex Reynolds® windows
- James Hardie® fiber cement siding
- Tyvek® house wrap
- PVC trim
- Sherwin Williams® Resilience paint
This customer contacted up because the paint on their home was no longer holding and they wanted a painter or a contractor to help remedy the problem. They were also interested in replacing their windows with more energy efficient windows. Here you can see a before picture.
We began this project by removing all the current siding and shingles. Then we removed 25 windows and replaced them with new Norandex Reynolds® 3000 windows. Our carpenters specialize in siding installation and window replacement. And our painters handle the painting.
After we replaced the windows, we wrapped the home with Tyvek® house wrap to protect the home from water damage. Then we installed James Hardie® Plank pre-primed Cedarmill style fiber cement siding. And around the front turret and the gable ends of the home we installed staggering James Hardie® fiber cement shingles. We also installed new PVC trim, window frames, door frames and corner boards.
After installing the new siding, we scraped and sanded the porch because the paint was peeling very badly. Then we primed the porch and painted it with 2 coats of latex paint. We painted the rest of the house with Sherwin Williams® Resilience paint. Here you can see the before picture of the porch ceiling.
Here you can see the new porch ceiling we installed.
