New Modern Kitchen

Project Overview

Test Tenant replaced weathered exterior siding at a Michigan City home on W 400 N to restore protection, curb appeal, and year-round comfort. The old cladding showed wear from Lake Michigan winds and freeze-thaw cycles, causing drafts and moisture risk. We removed failing boards, installed insulated Owens Corning siding, and improved thermal performance and durability.

Results

The siding replacement eliminated visible damage and sealed the envelope to prevent drafts, improving interior comfort through colder months. Curb appeal was restored with clean lines and a consistent finish that reduces future maintenance needs. Work is backed by the manufacturer warranty and the new siding provides better resistance to wind, moisture, and UV exposure, helping reduce long-term repair costs.
