Client’s Goals and Concerns

The homeowner’s main goal was to get his house back in shape. He wanted to make sure the work was done right, with quality materials that would stand up to Iowa’s unpredictable weather. He had a few specific concerns: he wanted to replace the old siding with something more durable, and he needed a partner he could trust to manage the whole process from start to finish. He had a tight schedule and wanted to be sure the job wouldn’t drag on.

Our Approach and Solutions

From our first conversation, we knew we had to earn the homeowner’s trust by being transparent and reliable. We started with a detailed inspection to assess the damage from the storm. We explained each step of the process from beginning to end. We scheduled the roof first, since it serves as the home’s first line of defense. For the siding, we used high-quality Norandex vinyl siding, which is a great choice for durability and a fresh look. Our crews worked carefully and efficiently to get the job done right.

Implementation Process

The project was a multi-stage process that we carefully coordinated to ensure everything went smoothly.

• Initial Inspection and Planning: We met with the homeowner to inspect the storm damage and create a detailed project plan.
• Roof Installation: Our roofing crew was first on-site to tear off the old shingles and install the new GAF Timberline HDZ roofing system. We made sure to perform a full check of the roof deck and flashing to ensure a secure, watertight installation.
• Siding Installation: After the roof was complete, our siding team arrived. They stripped the old siding and prepared the house for the new vinyl. We paid special attention to detail, even locating and installing new electrical blocks to replace the old ones, ensuring a clean, modern look.
• Final Touches: The final steps included installing new gutters and downspouts and replacing damaged screens. We conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure he was completely satisfied with the work.

Before & After

The transformation was incredible. The old, worn siding and roof were replaced with brand-new materials that gave the entire house a modern, clean appearance. The new GAF Timberline HDZ roof in Pewter Gray provided a sleek, long-lasting top layer of protection. The new Norandex vinyl siding in a classic gray color gave the home a fresh, updated curb appeal that will last for years.

Results and Outcomes

The project was a complete success. We finished the job on time and within the agreed-upon scope, leaving the homeowner with a beautiful, fully restored home. Our follow-up service included providing a copy of his warranty and making sure he was set up with a strong, long-lasting product. In the end, the homeowner was thrilled with the final result.

What Set Us Apart

This project had a few unique challenges. Coordinating a full exterior restoration means managing multiple teams and materials, all while keeping the homeowner informed. It also required us to be flexible and responsive, addressing small issues as they came up. We were able to handle all of this with clear communication and a commitment to quality. What we did better than anyone else was to provide a personal touch. We didn’t just show up and install a roof and siding; we built a relationship. We listened to his concerns, responded quickly to his questions, and made sure every detail was handled, even the small ones.
