The Home Specialist

Old Home Charm with a State of the Art Material

Sometimes we don’t know what we want, because we don’t know what is available. The philosophy at Exteriors of Lansing, is to give our customers the best options based on their needs and desires.

One of our customers in the Milwood area had recently relocated from out of state. They have a beautiful 100 year old home. The home has no insulation in the walls.

 

“We are truly happy with the outcome and we feel that Exteriors has given us the best value for our investment.”

The homeowner’s desire was to not only to insulate but to achieve a maintenance-free and natural looking exterior.

Homeowner -

“We wanted to get quotes on removing our wood siding, insulating fully with fiberglass insulation then replacing our siding with a concrete-type siding like Hardee Board”

 

 

"The home had no insulation in the walls"

“We felt that it would give us the best insulating quality and the most natural looking maintenance-free exterior.”

“Although the quote from Exteriors of Lansing was the most reasonable, the concrete board siding was more than our budget would allow”

The homeowner was receptive to an alternative to our concrete board proposal. This option would not only insulate far better than their original idea, but also give them more choices for the exterior look at a price that would fit into the budget.

Our final project included Retro-foam insulation, soffits and fascia board trim, exterior Dow backer board and heavy pvc shake-style siding by Certainteed.

Step 1:
We drilled a 2 ½ inch port to each stud cavity thru the exterior siding. A latex non-expanding foam (Retro-foam) was then introduced into the walls from bottom to top.

Step 2:
The soffits and fascia boards were then trimmed with pvc and pvc coated products.

Step 3:
The Dow backer board and pvc shake-style siding by Certainteed were installed to all vertical siding surfaces.

 


...give them more choices at a price that would fit into the budget

The resulting product is a wall that is completely sealed from any further air infiltration.

The R value of the walls has now increased to over R-20.

And the easy to clean exterior is a rich looking and complimentary to the era in which the home was built.

Homeowner –

“We love our home.”

“The look, the warmth, and how quiet it has become.”

“We no longer hear the neighborhood dogs.”

“We are truly happy with the outcome and we feel that Exteriors has given us the best value for our investment.”
