West + Main agent Cathy Rossano and her family had been putting off this exterior project for a while.
Even though they knew their siding should be replaced, there was always something more fun to tackle....until Stay at Home orders inspired them to get it done.
"Our house tends to have two entirely different temperatures. In March, when my husband started working from home regularly, he was freezing all the time...so we added cellulose insulation into all the walls (they do it from the outside by removing pieces of the siding) on the upper level, and also air sealed the attic. Instead of filling and repainting all the holes that were made during the insulation install we decided to just redo the siding as it was so tired looking."
COST: $22,000 including rebates
"The crew worked so hard that they knocked out the whole house in 2.5 days. They did great work, cleaned up before they left each day and the finished product is even better than we'd hoped. We noticed a huge difference in the temperature upstairs right away and our cooling bill is running about $40 less per month- in the middle of a really hot summer!"
