From Cedar to SmartSide: A Complete Home Exterior Transformation in Palatine

Defining the Problem

A residential home in our hometown of Palatine, Illinois, faced multiple issues with its exterior, primarily due to aging and wear of its components. The original cedar siding was deteriorating, affecting the home’s insulation and aesthetic appeal. The roof showed signs of damage and poor ventilation, leading to potential water leakage and inefficient energy use.

Additionally, the chimney kit and flashing around the brick chimney were outdated, compromising the home’s structural integrity. The window trims were also in disrepair, and the gutters needed replacement to ensure proper water diversion away from the foundation.

Our Proposed Solutions

Holda Construction, understanding the complexity of the project, conducted an exhaustive evaluation of the property. We discussed the homeowner’s goals, concerns, and budget. To address the multifaceted issues, we proposed a comprehensive renovation plan that included:

  • Replacing the Cedar Siding with LP SmartSide
    We recommended installing LP SmartSide siding for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and maintenance ease.
  • Roof Replacement
    To enhance protection against the elements and improve energy efficiency, the roof was completely redone.
  • Improving Roof Ventilation
    Essential for preventing moisture buildup and extending the life of the roof, a complete plan for effective air flow was proposed and executed.
  • Replacing the Chimney Kit and Flashing
    To ensure the chimney’s safety and functionality, we replaced the old, degrading materials with new.
  • New Trim around Windows
    For improved insulation and curb appeal, we replaced the old trim.
  • Installing New Gutters
    To effectively manage rainwater and protect the home’s foundation, an entire new gutter system was added.

Each component of the proposal was detailed with specific benefits and pricing, enabling the homeowner to make an informed decision.

What Could Happen if This Problem is Not Addressed

Neglecting these issues could lead to severe consequences for the property. The deteriorating cedar siding and roof could result in significant water damage, mold growth, and energy loss. Inadequate roof ventilation could shorten the roof’s lifespan and lead to interior damage.

The failing chimney could become a safety hazard, while the compromised trims and gutters could lead to further structural and aesthetic degradation.

How Holda Solved the Problem

The team replaced the cedar siding with high-quality LP SmartSide siding, installed a new roof with improved ventilation, replaced the chimney kit and flashing, and added new window trims and gutters. Our approach not only addressed the immediate concerns but also enhanced the home’s overall value and appeal.

A truly happy client who used our service​​

Mariusz and his team at Holda Construction recently completed a big transformational project at my family’s house – replacing the roof, siding, fascia and gutters. I contacted Holda for this project after having a very positive experience with a smaller scale repair on my home’s facia a few years back.

We could not be happier with the end result of our home’s transformation and Holda Construction will be our go-to team for future projects!
