Project Description: Complete Exterior Remodeling
Complete exterior remodel for a two-story home in Gahanna, Ohio. Columbus Window & Siding Co. was on site to replace the roof, replace all the double-hung vinyl windows, and install Dutch lap vinyl siding.
Replacing a roof is a significant investment for any homeowner. There are several factors to consider when deciding whether or not to replace a roof, but the following are the top three reasons why a homeowner should consider a roof replacement:
- If the roof is reaching the end of its lifespan,
- Has significant damage
- Is causing energy loss
Project Details
Roof
The old asphalt shingles were removed and replaced with GAF Roof Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal Smoke for a timeless look. To ensure that their insurance company would insure the new roof, an ice and water shield was applied. Ice and water shield is a self-adhesive roofing underlayment material used to protect roof decks from water damage caused by the penetration of snow and ice. It is applied over the roof deck before shingles or other roofing materials are installed. The shield acts as a barrier to prevent water from seeping into the roof deck and causing damage, especially in areas prone to heavy snow and ice accumulation. With Columbus Window & Siding Co.’s 1-year warranty for labor and GAF’s lifetime warranty of 50 years, this homeowner will be protected against ice forming along the eaves causing a backup of water and leakage.
Windows
The windows were replaced with Belmont vinyl windows by Midway Windows with extra large trim for a modern, polished look. Vinyl windows are known for their durability, energy efficiency, low maintenance, and affordability. Belmont windows include a balance mechanism that never needs adjusting, making them simple to clean and easy to use. A popular, thermally-efficient replacement window choice for residential and commercial buildings.
Siding
The finishing touch was new Alside Charter Oak Dutch lap vinyl siding in Charcoal Smoke. If you are considering replacing the siding on your home, you may want to consider “Dutch lap siding.” This type of vinyl siding is installed as horizontal rows that overlap one another. It is intended to resemble hand-carved wood siding from the Old World. Dutch lap vinyl siding is available in a variety of colors and is resistant to moisture, fading, and rot. It is a popular choice for Columbus homeowners who want the look of wood that is maintenance-free.
