Siding!!! Finally!!!




We finally have started the siding. It has been a long time coming. There were delays caused by everything from babies being born to the wrong color J-channels being shipped. We have decided to use metal galvalume siding from a company called Ideal Roofing (idealroofing.com) We went with white for the main portion of the house and the stairwell building is a dark grey. Our builder recommended the product but, he admittedly had no experience with it for large residential applications. He ended up misquoting us the pricing but, decided not to pass along the difference. He is also eating a lot of overtime as it has been a learning process for his crew as well. We appreciate it. It carries a 25 year warranty even in coastal conditions. I think it looks great but has definitely garnished a "Love it or Hate it" opinion from passersby.

The house looks great. It is coming along. We can't wait to see it completely sided with the cedar too.
The siding makes a big difference.
