Location: Media, PA
Renovations: New roof and new siding
This Media, PA homeowner was facing significant problems with their home’s exterior. Improperly installed stucco had allowed water to infiltrate, causing severe damage to the structure. Additionally, the older wood windows had not been properly maintained or installed with adequate flashing techniques, leading to further water intrusion and compromised structural integrity.
In-Depth Inspections and Design Collaborations

Our consultation process began with an in-depth inspection of the home. We then engaged in lengthy conversations with the homeowners to understand their design preferences and how best to achieve the desired look for the front of their house. Our expert team recommended the installation of new Pella windows, complemented by James Hardie siding with stone accents.
The homeowners chose Porter Family Contracting with confidence, knowing we had successfully completed an exceptional project for their neighbors across the street. The trust they placed in our expertise and our competitive pricing further solidified their decision. Seeing our skilled crews in action and being impressed by our suggested design options sealed the deal.
Meticulous Attention to Detail with New Siding & Windows
As with any stucco removal project, we encountered significant sheathing and structural damage while preparing the exterior for the installation of new windows, doors, and siding. Our dedicated team meticulously carried out stucco remediation, replacing it with James Hardie lap and shake in the enchanting Cobblestone color. To add a touch of elegance, we incorporated Cultured Stone in Silver Ash. For the windows, we installed Pella Lifestyle windows in a classic white-on-white combination.
Conquering Design Challenges Together

The design aspect of this project presented unique challenges. We initially suggested using brick and batten for the renderings, but reaching a final scope and making design decisions proved to be an ongoing process. However, we maintained open lines of communication, offering samples and references to assist the homeowners every step of the way. Their satisfaction with the final outcome is a testament to our dedication to ensuring the perfect result.
