About this project
We installed new siding and gutters on this two-story home on Meadowbrook Drive in Warren. The Meadowbrook Drive job was completed in late July 2026. The first floor is brick, and the siding covers the second story above it.
The rear photo shows the full back wall of the second floor in a taupe lap siding, with white trim around each window and white soffit and fascia above. A white downspout runs down the corner. At the front, the same siding sits above a covered porch with white columns, and gutters run along both the main roof and the porch roof.
What we did
- Installed taupe lap siding on the second story
- Trimmed the windows in white
- Installed new gutters on the main roof and the porch roof
- Ran a downspout down the rear corner
Gutters under a big shade tree
The photos show how much tree cover this house has. A large tree arches over the back of the house, and another stands at the front. That means leaves, seeds and twigs in the gutters for much of the year. Clogged gutters overflow, and the water runs down the face of the siding or soaks the fascia behind the gutter.
On a lot like this, gutter upkeep matters more than on an open one. Cleaning them in late spring and again after the leaves drop is a good habit. Gutter guards can cut down the work, though no guard stops every seed and stem. Keeping the downspouts clear matters just as much, because a blocked downspout backs up the whole run.
Questions homeowners ask about new siding and gutters
Can I change my siding color completely?
Yes. New siding does not have to match what came off. If you are choosing a new color, look at how it sits with your brick, roof and shutters. On this house a warm taupe goes with the orange-red brick and the white trim.
How do I know if my soffit is venting the attic?
Look up under the eaves. Vented soffit panels have small perforations or slots along their length, and solid panels do not. Some homes have vented sections only in certain spots. If you are not sure, we can check when we come out for an estimate.
Do you work in Warren?
Yes, Warren is close to home for us. We have completed more than 130 jobs in the city, and more than 20 of them were siding jobs. Our Warren siding page has more homes like this.
