This exterior siding project features a modern combination of wood composite siding, white board-and-batten siding, and white colonial 4.5-inch Dutch lap vinyl siding on a renovated residential home in the Philadelphia area. The design combines warm wood-look composite siding with clean white horizontal Dutch lap siding and board-and-batten gable accents, creating a high-contrast exterior with a modern farmhouse style. Black window trim adds definition and gives the home a sharp, updated appearance. The scope of work included exterior preparation, wood composite siding installation, white colonial Dutch lap siding installation, board-and-batten siding details, soffit and fascia finishing, trim work, and clean alignment around windows, corners, roof lines, and entry areas. Wood composite siding provides a durable, low-maintenance exterior finish with the natural look of wood, while white colonial Dutch lap siding keeps the home bright, classic, and timeless. Together, these materials create a strong curb appeal upgrade for homeowners, investors, rental properties, and house flips. This project is a strong example of a complete exterior siding renovation designed to improve curb appeal, protect the structure, and increase long-term property value. Serving Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Norristown, Plymouth Meeting, King of Prussia, Conshohocken, Blue Bell, and surrounding Pennsylvania areas.

The "fake" dormer roofs above the second story windows were removed and the plain windows were replaced with Simulated Divided Light windows with white trim to lighten the appearance of the home. A new dormer to the left allows light into the interior and breaks up the large roof plane. The new bay windows, in place of the large windows flanking the door also add visual interest to the front facade. The covered portico is nicely detailed and also contributes to lightening up the brown brick. www.susanrochellearchitect.com

This Wheat Ridge home underwent a complete exterior transformation featuring board and batten siding, black fiberglass windows, custom black doors, and natural wood porch accents.

For this home exterior renovation, we removed the existing gutters and downspouts, inspected and replaced any damaged siding, and improved attic ventilation by cutting openings in the eave soffits. To enhance energy efficiency and create a smooth surface, we installed ¾” insulation board, followed by house wrap for added protection. The home was transformed with CertainTeed Monogram .046 vinyl siding in Smokey Gray (clapboard style) on the lower portion and white board and batten siding on the upper portion, separated by a stylish belly band. New vented vinyl soffits, custom bent aluminum trim, and detailed trim work around windows, doors, and fixtures add to the crisp, modern aesthetic. This stunning update improves both curb appeal and long-term durability.
