When siding begins to sag and windows start to stick, a home is not just losing its curb appeal—it is losing energy, comfort, and money. North Manchester homeowner Shane Yates was experiencing firsthand how failing exterior components can cause utility bills to skyrocket. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive exterior overhaul, Shane turned to our local remodeling experts to upgrade his home’s defense against the unpredictable Indiana weather.
Here is an inside look at how we transformed this North Manchester home with high-performance vinyl siding, optimized ventilation, and state-of-the-art replacement windows to guarantee lifelong energy efficiency and beauty.

The Problem: High Energy Bills and Deteriorating Exteriors
Shane’s home in Wabash County was suffering from severe exterior degradation that impacted both the aesthetics and the thermal envelope of the house.
-
Failing, Sagging Siding: The existing siding was sagging, severely discolored, and performing poorly. It was no longer effectively protecting the home from the elements.
-
Drafty, Stuck Windows: The home’s old windows had failing seals, making them incredibly drafty and prone to leaking. To make matters worse, most of the windows were stuck and impossible to operate. This lack of insulation was causing Shane’s power bills to climb significantly.
The Solution: A Lifetime Exterior and Thermal Upgrade
Our team engineered a complete exterior remodeling solution designed to eliminate maintenance, slash energy costs, and give the home a stunning new look.
1. Superior Moisture Protection and Wall Prep
Before installing the new siding, we fortified the home’s structural envelope. We installed 16 Squares of House Wrap to waterproof the walls and added 16 Squares of Fan Fold Insulation. This dual-layer preparation acts as a critical thermal break, keeping the North Manchester winter cold out while providing a perfectly flat surface for a flawless siding application.
2. Premium Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding
We replaced the sagging exterior with 16 Squares of Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding in a striking, deep Indigo color. Vinyl provides a highly cost-effective, low-maintenance solution that never needs to be scraped, painted, or repaired. Best of all, this specific siding features the best fade warranty in the business and comes with an Industry-Leading Double Lifetime Guarantee.
3. Upgraded Hidden Vent Soffit & Fascia
Proper attic ventilation is a cornerstone of building science, preventing ice dams in the winter and trapped heat in the summer. We replaced 185 feet of Soffit and Fascia, upgrading the system to a Hidden Vent Soffit. This premium upgrade ensures adequate, continuous airflow exactly where it is needed without sacrificing the sleek look of the exterior trim. This also carries the same lifetime warranty as the siding.
4. Energy-Efficient Window Replacements
To combat the soaring power bills, we performed a complete tear-out and installation of 8 Custom Vinyl Windows (consisting of 4 double-hung windows and 4 twin vent sliders). These are not off-the-shelf windows; they feature foam-filled frames and upgraded glass packs engineered specifically to retain heat, block drafts, and prevent leaks. Like the siding, these high-performance windows are fully covered by a Full Lifetime Warranty.
The Result: Flawless Execution in Record Time
Minimizing disruption to the homeowner’s daily life is a top priority for our installation crews. Despite the scope of this project, our team executed the job with precision and speed.
