When your home’s exterior begins to fail, it is not just an aesthetic issue—it becomes a structural one. Fort Wayne homeowner Mike Bushing was dealing with multiple exterior failures, from dented, outdated siding to an actively leaking roof. Knowing the harsh weather conditions we experience in Indiana, Mike needed a trusted local exterior remodeling expert to completely overhaul his home’s defense system.

Here is how our team executed a seamless, full-scale exterior transformation in Fort Wayne’s 46805 zip code, providing a permanent solution to persistent leaks and faded curb appeal.

Project Overview

The Problem: Exterior Deterioration and Active Leaks

Mike’s home was suffering from years of wear and tear, presenting two major issues that required immediate intervention:

1. Failing Roof System: The home had missing and damaged shingles, leading to multiple noticeable leaks coming directly into the attic. If left unaddressed, these leaks would have caused severe interior water damage, wood rot, and mold.

2. Damaged Siding: The existing aluminum siding was faded, severely worn, and dented. Not only did this detract from the home’s curb appeal, but aging aluminum also provides poor insulation and structural protection.

The Solution: A Lifetime Exterior Upgrade

To solve these issues permanently, we designed a comprehensive remodeling plan focused on top-tier materials, technical expertise, and industry-leading warranties.

1. Dual-System Roof Replacement (Shingle & Flat Roof)

Addressing the active leaks was our first priority. A standard roofer might just throw shingles on every surface, but structural longevity requires applying the right materials to the right pitches.

• Sloped Roofing: We removed the failing roof and installed 15 Squares of Atlas Asphalt Shingles, backed by a 50-Year Premium Coverage lifetime warranty. This ensures the home is protected against high winds and heavy rain for decades.

• Flat Roofing: For the low-slope sections of the home where traditional shingles would allow water pooling and leaks, we installed 3 Squares of EPDM Flat Roofing. EPDM is a highly durable synthetic rubber membrane specifically engineered for pitches that are not steep enough to shed water naturally over shingles

2. Comprehensive Siding Replacement & Prep

With the roof secured, we moved on to replacing the dented aluminum siding.

• Superior Wall Preparation: Great siding starts with great prep work. We installed 28 Squares of House Wrap for critical moisture management, followed by 28 Squares of Fan Fold Insulation. Fan fold serves a dual purpose: it provides a perfectly flat, rigid surface to ensure the new vinyl siding lays straight and even, while also adding a layer of thermal insulation.

• Premium Vinyl Siding: We installed 28 Squares of Slate Vinyl Siding. Unlike the old painted aluminum, this premium vinyl will never fade, chip, or dent easily. It comes with a massive Double Lifetime Transferable Warranty, adding significant resale value to the property.

3. Custom Aluminum Wrapping for Maximum Curb Appeal

To tie the whole design together and eliminate future exterior maintenance, our experts custom-bent aluminum coil to wrap all of the home’s exterior windows and doors. This meticulous finishing touch not only dramatically enhances curb appeal but also seals vulnerable frames against moisture and drafts.

Unmatched Speed and Execution

Major exterior renovations can be stressful, but our highly trained crews prioritize speed without compromising quality.

Project Timeline Snapshot:

• Agreement Signed: March 20th

• Roof Replaced: March 23rd (Completed in exactly 1 Day)

• Siding Replaced: April 5th (Completed in just 1.5 Days)

Within a few short weeks of the initial agreement, Mike went from having an actively leaking roof and dented siding to owning one of the best-looking, most well-protected homes in the 46805 area—guaranteed for life.
