Roof Replacement

Replacing your roof is eventually a necessary task However, doing so can truly enhance the appearance of your home. A red cedar roof captures the traditional feel of old Cape Cod. Also available now are pressure-treated red cedar roof shingles. These shingles will outlast non treated roofs and create the same beautiful appearance. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common these days, and in many people’s opinion, the most attractive. These shingles come in a variety of colors and styles.

Trim Replacement

Replacing old wooden trim, which is prone to rot, with new PVC trim ensures that replacing or repairing rotten trim is a thing of the past. PVC trim will never rot, split or peel. But perhaps the best advantage of using PVC trim is the fact that you don’t have to paint it! If you your house has white trim, PVC trimboards (which come in white) will replace the need to ever have to repaint your trim. If your house is a color other than white, painting PVC trim is not a problem either. In fact the leading manufacturers of PVC trim boards offer warranties with leading manufacturers of paint companies.  Koma trimboards are the preferred PVC trimboard of Cape Dreams. These products can be viewed at: www.komatrimboards.com.  Azek is another popular manufacturer. There website is www.azek.com. Cape Dreams feels that it is best to see, touch, and feel these products in person. We would be more than happy to meet with you, show you samples of these products, and answer any questions that you may have. Choosing to replace your existing wooden trim with either Azek or Koma trim boards will truly enhance the appearance of your house. [BACK TO TOP}

Siding Replacement

Replacing old, scorched shingles with new cedar shingles will give your home a facelift that is sure to please. Cape Dreams recommends using pre-stained shingles. These shingles are stained at the factory  and come in a variety of colors. These shingles will last significantly longer that non-stained shingles. Visit www.maibec.com for more information on their complete line of pre-stained shingles. If your house has clapboard siding, a good alternative to traditional cedar clapboards is a product made by James Hardie. The clapboard is made of a fiber cement material and looks like natural cedar clapboards. The advantage is a low maintenance product that resists rotting and cracking and comes with an available 15-year paint warranty. James Hardie siding is non-combustible and comes with a limited, transferable warranty for up to 50 years. In either case, replacing your house’s siding will add value and can significantly decrease or virtually eliminate previously required maintenance. [BACK TO TOP}
