What We Did

• Vinyl siding: Norandex Reynolds® Generations
• Windows & Doors: Simonton® Generations
• Carpentry Work
• Seamless Gutters
• Painting & Staining: Sherwin Williams®

This project was for a past customer of ours who used us to paint the exterior of their other home in 2001. When they moved into this new home in Roslindale, MA, they knew that there would be a lot of exterior work so they called us. They already knew we were qualified painters, and wanted to see how we faired as siding and window contractors.

First we started with the prep work for siding, windows, and doors. We stripped all old cedar shingles off, took out five old windows, and three storm doors. Then we applied Tyvek® wrap and fixed some rotted areas on the home. After that, we installed window and door trim, flashing, and PVC coated water table around the base of the house.

Then we installed Norandex Reynolds® Generations insulation-backed vinyl siding on the entire house. Next, we incorporated insulated vinyl corner posts with built in J-channel. PVC coated aluminum and custom window and door wraps.

After that we installed some Simonton® Generations replacement windows and storm doors in the home, including one slider-double pane, two low-e argon picture windows, two low-e argon double hung windows, and 3 vinyl full-lite storm doors.

The second major area of focus was the gutters and decking on the back and front porch. We installed all new seamless gutters. We rebuilt the stairs and landing for the back area. Then we installed new railings and new spindles for a fresh new look. For the front porch we removed the existing front screen and glass, and the old hand rails. We installed "Elk Railing" "Traditional Series" across the front. We also added PVC coated cladding to the porch beam.

The final step of the project was the painting and staining. Our professional installers applied Sherwin Williams® solid stain to the front porch floor, steps, ceiling and risers for a flawless new look. Then we painted the upstairs porch railings, spindles and other decorative areas on the house with Sherwin Williams® acrylic latex paint with a satin finish.

Here's what the finished job looks like. What a transformation. There's a lot to coordinate in a project of this magnitude, but in the end the house looks great!
