About this project
We replaced the siding on this home on Alida Avenue in Rochester Hills and completed the job in September 2026. The new siding is a muted sage green lap profile with white trim around the windows, set under a white roof edge.
Both photos are close views of the same wall. They show a slider window wrapped in wide white trim, the siding courses running level to the corner, and the panel seams staggered from one row to the next. A brown drip edge shows along the top of the roof edge.
What we did
- Replaced the siding with sage green lap siding
- Wrapped the window opening in wide white trim
- Staggered the panel seams across the wall
- Ran the top course up to the soffit line
Why the seams are staggered
Lap siding comes in long panels, but most walls are longer than one panel, so the panels overlap at seams. If those seams line up from row to row, they form a visible vertical stripe and a weak line in the wall. Staggering them, as you can see on this wall, spreads the overlaps out so the eye does not catch them and the wall reads as one surface.
The window trim is the other detail worth noticing. A wide, flat trim around the opening gives the siding a clean edge to stop against and covers the cut ends. Done right, the trim is flashed at the top so water running down the wall is turned out and away from the window.
Questions homeowners ask about siding colors
Is a green siding color a safe choice?
Muted greens like this one sit between a neutral and a bold color. They read as a color without being loud, and they pair well with white trim, dark roofs and natural landscaping. Hold a sample against the house in morning and afternoon light before you decide.
Does the old siding come off first?
In most cases, yes. Removing the old siding lets the crew see the sheathing and fix soft spots before the new panels go up. Covering old siding can hide problems that keep getting worse underneath. It is also the chance to repair or add house wrap before the wall is closed up again.
Do you work in Rochester Hills?
Yes. We have completed more than 75 jobs in Rochester Hills, and more than 35 of them since 2023. Alida Avenue is part of that list on our siding page for Rochester Hills.
