This post-war, plain bungalow was transformed into a charming cottage with this new exterior detail, which includes a new roof, red shutters, energy-efficient windows, and a beautiful new front porch that matched the roof line. Window boxes with matching corbels were also added to the exterior, along with pleated copper roofing on the large window and side door. Photo courtesy of Kate Benjamin Photography

Folk Victorian houses often feature clapboard as the dominant exterior cladding. Vinyl siding clapboard comes in a variety of configurations, including 3" to 8" reveals. When using standard clapboard on the main body, gables or accent walls may feature board & batten siding, shakes, shingles, or shapes. All these options are available in vinyl.

This South Dartmouth office and apartment building looks gorgeous with new cedar shingle siding, Harvey replacement windows and more! Located in scenic Padanaram village, the owner chose premium white cedar shingles. Wood siding is a New England favorite for many reasons: -Wood siding such as cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks when installed properly by an experienced siding contractor. -It is much easier to repair wood siding than any other home siding option. -A variety of styles, textures & thicknesses are available such as clapboards, shakes, shingles, and board & batten to match any homeowner’s style. -Wood siding is versatile and available in a variety of paint or stain options. You can even get the boards pre-stained which provides protection from U.V. rays, water & mildew. -Wood that is harvested from sustainably managed forests are extremely environmentally friendly. It also produces the least greenhouse gas, air pollution, water pollution and solid waste.
