Siding Solutions Offered: Siding And Roofing Solutions By Home Exteriors Of Michigan
Home Exteriors of Michigan offers a diverse range of siding options to suit various budgets and aesthetic preferences. Choosing the right siding can significantly impact your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and longevity. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each material is crucial for making an informed decision.
We offer several types of siding, each with its own unique characteristics. Consider factors like your budget, desired maintenance level, and the overall style of your home when making your selection.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is a popular choice due to its affordability and low maintenance. It’s available in a wide array of colors and styles, mimicking the look of wood or other materials. However, it’s less durable than other options and can be susceptible to damage from impact or extreme temperatures. It may also fade over time, especially in areas with intense sunlight.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding combines the durability of cement with the workability of wood. It’s highly resistant to fire, insects, and rot, making it a long-lasting and low-maintenance option. It can also withstand harsh weather conditions. While more expensive than vinyl, its longevity often makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run. However, it is heavier than vinyl and requires professional installation.
Wood Siding
Wood siding offers a classic, natural look and feel. It can be stained or painted to complement any home style. However, wood siding requires significant maintenance to prevent rot, insect infestation, and weathering. It’s also more susceptible to damage from fire and moisture than other options, and it can be more expensive than vinyl or fiber cement.
Metal Siding
Metal siding, often made from aluminum or steel, is extremely durable and resistant to fire, insects, and rot. It’s also low-maintenance and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Metal siding comes in a variety of colors and styles, and it can be a good choice for homes in areas prone to severe weather. However, it can be more expensive than vinyl or fiber cement, and it can dent or scratch more easily than other materials. It can also be noisy during rain or hail.
Siding Material Comparison, Siding and Roofing Solutions by Home Exteriors of Michigan
The following table summarizes the key characteristics of each siding type to aid in your decision-making process.
| Siding Type | Cost | Durability | Maintenance | Aesthetic Appeal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Low | Moderate | Low | Moderate to High (wide variety of styles) |
| Fiber Cement | Medium to High | High | Low | High (realistic wood-like finishes available) |

Roofing Solutions Offered
At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we understand that your roof is a critical component of your home’s structure and curb appeal. We offer a variety of roofing solutions designed to meet diverse needs and budgets, ensuring both durability and aesthetic excellence. Our expert team will guide you through the selection process, helping you choose the best roofing material to protect your investment for years to come.
We offer a comprehensive range of roofing materials, each with its own unique set of benefits and considerations. Choosing the right roofing material depends on factors such as your budget, the style of your home, and the climate in your area. Our team will assess your individual needs and recommend the best option for your specific circumstances.
Roofing Material Options and Lifespans
Asphalt shingles remain a popular and cost-effective choice for roofing. Their relatively low cost and ease of installation make them a practical option for many homeowners. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15-30 years, depending on the quality of the shingles and the climate conditions. Manufacturers offer warranties that vary depending on the shingle type and grade. For example, a high-quality architectural shingle might come with a 30-year warranty, while a standard three-tab shingle might have a 20-year warranty.
Metal roofing, including steel and aluminum, offers exceptional durability and longevity. Metal roofs are known for their resistance to harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy snow, and hail. They typically last 50 years or more, significantly longer than asphalt shingles. Warranties on metal roofing can extend to 50 years or even longer, depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. This makes metal roofing a long-term investment that can save money on replacements over the lifetime of your home.
Tile roofing, including clay and concrete tile, is a classic choice that provides both beauty and durability. Tile roofs are exceptionally resistant to fire and are known for their longevity, often lasting 50-100 years or more. However, they are typically more expensive than asphalt or metal roofing. Warranties for tile roofing can vary widely depending on the manufacturer and type of tile used, but they generally reflect the material’s exceptional lifespan.
Roof Installation Process
The following steps Artikel a typical roof installation process. It’s important to remember that specific steps may vary slightly depending on the complexity of the roof and the chosen materials. Our team meticulously follows all necessary safety precautions and industry best practices throughout the installation process.
- Initial Assessment and Consultation: A thorough inspection of the existing roof is conducted to assess its condition and identify any necessary repairs or replacements.

Successful Siding Projects
Our team has completed numerous siding projects, transforming homes from drab to fab. Here are three examples illustrating the quality of our work and the positive impact on homeowners’ properties.
Project 1: The Miller Residence
Before: The Miller’s home featured aging vinyl siding, showing significant signs of wear and tear, including discoloration and warping. The overall appearance was dated and lacked curb appeal.

Project 2: The Johnson Family Home
Before: The Johnson family’s home had outdated cedar siding that was severely damaged due to years of exposure to Michigan’s harsh weather. The wood was rotting in places and the paint was peeling.
After: We replaced the cedar siding with energy-efficient insulated vinyl siding in a warm, inviting beige. This not only improved the home’s exterior but also enhanced its energy efficiency, leading to lower utility bills for the Johnsons. The new siding looks clean and contemporary.
Project 3: The Rodriguez Remodel
Before: The Rodriguez home had a mix-matched appearance with different types of siding that didn’t complement each other. The overall look was inconsistent and lacked cohesion.
After: We carefully selected and installed a cohesive design using a combination of high-quality vinyl and stone veneer siding, creating a visually stunning and sophisticated exterior. The updated siding beautifully integrated the home’s architectural features and significantly improved its curb appeal.

The Davis family now enjoys peace of mind knowing their home is protected.
Project 2: The Wilson’s Metal Roof Installation

Siding Materials
Our siding options offer a diverse range of styles, colors, and textures to complement any home’s architectural design. We feature premium vinyl, durable fiber cement, and elegant engineered wood siding, each offering unique benefits and aesthetic qualities.
Vinyl Siding
We primarily utilize CertainTeed vinyl siding. CertainTeed offers a wide array of colors and styles, from traditional clapboard to more contemporary options. Their vinyl siding is known for its low maintenance, resistance to fading, and affordability. One popular choice is the CertainTeed Monogram Collection, which features deeply embossed textures that mimic the look of natural wood, available in a rich palette including deep browns, warm grays, and classic whites. Another example is the CertainTeed Cedar Impressions line, which boasts a realistic cedar shake appearance with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. Its color palette offers earthy tones like weathered gray and aged cedar.
Fiber Cement Siding
For homeowners seeking a more durable and realistic wood-like appearance, we offer James Hardie fiber cement siding. This material is exceptionally resistant to fire, insects, and moisture damage, making it an excellent long-term investment. The James Hardie Artisan Collection, for example, provides a wide range of colors and textures, including deep, rich tones and subtle variations in color to create a natural look. The deep shadow lines of the lap siding create a more dimensional look compared to standard vinyl siding. The color palette includes sophisticated options like Bordeaux, a deep red-brown, and the more neutral Evening Blue.
Engineered Wood Siding
Offering a natural aesthetic with enhanced durability, we also use CertainTeed’s engineered wood siding. This material combines the beauty of natural wood with the added protection against moisture and insect damage. CertainTeed’s CedarBoards collection replicates the look and feel of real cedar, with a range of natural tones, from light tans and warm browns to deep reddish hues. The subtle variations in color and texture create a beautiful, authentic appearance. This siding is an excellent choice for homeowners wanting a classic, natural look with the benefits of enhanced durability.
Roofing Materials
Our roofing solutions utilize high-performance asphalt shingles and premium metal roofing systems. These materials are chosen for their longevity, weather resistance, and energy efficiency.
Installation Process and Techniques
At Home Exteriors of Michigan, we pride ourselves on meticulous and efficient installation processes for both siding and roofing projects. Our experienced crews utilize industry-best practices and high-quality materials to ensure a long-lasting, beautiful, and structurally sound result for every customer. This section details our typical installation procedures and the rigorous safety protocols we maintain throughout each project.
The installation process for siding typically begins with thorough preparation of the exterior wall. This includes inspecting for any damage, removing old siding, and ensuring the underlying structure is sound and properly prepared to receive the new siding. Subsequent steps involve installing flashing and starter strips, then applying the siding panels according to the manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring proper alignment and overlap. Finally, finishing touches, such as caulking and trim installation, complete the process, creating a seamless and professional finish. Roofing installation, while different, shares a similar emphasis on preparation and meticulous attention to detail.
Siding Installation Steps
Proper siding installation is crucial for both aesthetics and protection. Our process ensures a durable and weather-resistant exterior. The steps typically involve: preparation of the substrate (removing old siding, repairing any damage to the underlying wall), installation of flashing and starter strips to manage water runoff, installation of the siding panels, paying close attention to proper overlap and alignment, and final trimming and caulking to ensure a watertight seal. We utilize a variety of siding materials, and the exact procedure may vary slightly depending on the chosen material. For example, vinyl siding requires a different approach than fiber cement siding. However, the core principles of preparation, precise installation, and meticulous finishing remain consistent.
Roofing Installation Steps
Preparing a roof for new shingles is a critical step, demanding precision and attention to detail. This process significantly impacts the longevity and performance of the new roof. The following steps illustrate our meticulous approach:
- Thorough Inspection and Assessment: A detailed inspection of the existing roof structure, identifying any damaged or deteriorated areas, such as rotted wood or missing shingles. This ensures a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
- Removal of Old Shingles and Debris: Careful removal of existing shingles and disposal of all debris, ensuring the roof deck is clean and free from any obstructions that could compromise the new installation.
- Repair and Replacement of Damaged Components: Repair or replacement of any damaged sheathing, rafters, or underlayment. This step is crucial for preventing future leaks and ensuring structural integrity.
- Installation of Underlayment: Applying a waterproof underlayment to protect the roof deck from moisture damage. This acts as a secondary barrier against leaks.
- Installation of Ice and Water Shield: Installing an ice and water shield around vulnerable areas such as valleys, chimneys, and edges. This helps prevent ice dams and water penetration.
- Installation of Starter Shingles: Installing starter shingles along the eaves to provide a solid base for the remaining shingles. This ensures proper alignment and a neat finished look.
- Installation of Shingles: Installing the shingles according to the manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring proper overlap and alignment. This process requires precision to guarantee watertightness and durability.
- Installation of Ridge Caps and Flashing: Installing ridge caps and flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations to prevent water leakage. This completes the weatherproofing of the roof.
- Final Cleanup: Thorough cleanup of the work area, removing all debris and leaving the property clean and tidy.
