About this project
We installed new siding and gutters on this two-story home on Griswald Street in Clinton Township. We completed the Griswald Street job in July 2026. The first floor is brick, so the siding covers the second story and the gable ends.
The photos show blue lap siding on the upper walls with white trim at every corner and window. A wide white band runs along the line where the siding meets the brick. White gutters and downspouts carry water off the roof, including a long downspout at the corner beside the entry walk.
What we did
- Installed blue lap siding on the second story and gables
- Trimmed the corners, windows and the siding-to-brick line in white
- Installed white gutters
- Ran downspouts down the corners, with an extension out from the wall
An upper story that overhangs the brick
On this house the second floor sits slightly out past the brick below it. You can see the shadow line under the white band in the photos. The underside of that overhang is a spot where water can get in if the trim is loose or gapped, so it needs to be closed off tightly when the siding is replaced.
Downspouts on a house like this need some thought. Water from a two-story roof comes down fast and lands near the foundation and the walks. On this house the corner downspout ends in a long extension that carries the water out from the wall. Small details like that keep a basement drier than any amount of siding will.
Questions homeowners ask about siding and gutters
Why are gutters often part of a siding job?
Gutters hang on the fascia at the top of the wall. When the trim and siding are replaced, the gutters often have to come down anyway. Putting new ones up at that point avoids rehanging old, worn gutters on a new exterior.
Does blue siding fade?
All siding colors change a little in the sun. Good siding is made to fade slowly and evenly, so a whole wall changes together. Where you notice fading is at repairs, when a new panel goes in next to old ones.
