Location: Chester, PA
Renovations: James Hardie Siding and Andersen Windows
The homeowners of a charming 2-story Colonial in Chester Springs, PA grappled with several significant issues. Their home’s exterior had become outdated and was visibly deteriorating.
The wood windows, aged between 20 to 30 years, were failing—some couldn’t open, while others allowed cold drafts into the home. The old cedar siding was also in disrepair, with sections falling off and others damaged by birds and insects.
Winning Trust Through Thorough Explanations and Knowledgeable Service
Initially, the homeowner hesitated to engage with our sales rep due to a negative experience with another company. However, our representative’s patience and low-pressure approach helped the homeowners feel confident they would receive the high-level service they deserved.
Impressed by the detailed presentation and thorough explanations, the homeowner felt confident enough to invite the rep back to discuss the options with her husband.
The homeowners ultimately chose Porter Family Exteriors because we invested time and effort in explaining the project thoroughly. The homeowners appreciated our rep’s extensive knowledge and clear communication throughout the consultation process.
Steps to the Perfect Home Exterior Remodel
We provided a comprehensive exterior renovation, which included:
- Siding: James Hardie 8.25 Cedarmill in Aged Pewter
- Trim: Hardie Trim 5/4×4 around all windows and doors
- Windows: Andersen 400 Series Woodwright windows
- Soffit: InvisiVent vinyl soffit
- Gutters: 6” K-style gutters
- Aluminum Capping: On rake and eaves fascia
Timely Solutions and Expert Guidance for a Seamless Project
Before starting the project, there needed to be more clarity about the window type and whether to go with the 400 Series Tilt Wash or Woodwright. We brought our Andersen Windows partner at ABC Supply into the conversation to help the homeowners understand the pros and cons of each option.
The clients appreciated the additional information and confidently selected the 400 Series Woodwright for their home.
The timeline was another challenge, as the homeowners were preparing to move an elderly parent into the home and needed the project completed by a specific date. Although a delay in door delivery posed a potential setback, we adapted our schedule to complete the bulk of the project on time, returning later to finish the door and portico work once the door arrived.
Homeowners Rave About Professionalism and Results in Exterior Renovation
The transformation of the home was remarkable. The new James Hardie siding in Aged Pewter brought a fresh, modern look, while the Andersen windows improved aesthetics and energy efficiency.
The beautifully updated exterior significantly boosted the home’s curb appeal, functionality, and value.
The homeowners were delighted with the project outcome and expressed their satisfaction multiple times. They appreciated the updates they received throughout the project and described it as the best experience they had ever had with a contractor.
“Working with this company was a dream. From the initial consultation to the final installation, every step was handled with professionalism and care. Even when unexpected issues came up, the team communicated clearly and found solutions that worked for us. We couldn’t be happier with our new home exterior and highly recommend their services.”
