This Denver home was sided in the original composite wood panel siding and was severely damaged and vulnerable in the Colorado climate.

Composite wood siding is not ideal for any home in Colorado. Wood siding is susceptible to any weather elements over time. This 1961 Denver home’s composite wood siding was original to the home, and it showed the wear-and-tear of age and exposure. 

Wood siding is particularly vulnerable to moisture and baking sun, and temperature changes cause expansion and contraction that weaken the material. This Denver home exhibited these signs of weathering and the siding was spongy and soft in several areas. Soft siding can quickly lead to more damage where the wood is vulnerable to high winds, hail, infestation, or deterioration. 

Bellwether worked closely with the homeowner until they were ready to begin a full siding replacement.

The homeowner knew that the siding needed to be replaced, but a full siding replacement can be a big undertaking. We understand this and are prepared to walk through the process at each customer’s desired pace, offering information and resources along the way.

Our sales teams work closely with these Denver homeowners needing to collect information and prepare for a home exterior renovation. These homeowners reviewed our assessment and proposal and began to prepare. About seven months after our initial consultation, the customers were ready to begin work.

Because the materials they selected for their siding replacement, we were able to begin work three weeks after they signed the contract.
