About this project
This two-story home on Croft Hill Court in Rochester Hills has brick on the lower walls and charcoal lap siding above. We replaced the siding and installed gutters, and the job was completed in August 2026. The house has a lot of angles: a tall bay of stacked windows, a small box bay with its own shingle roof, and a chimney chase clad in the same siding.
The photos show the siding fitted around each of those shapes. Dark trim boards frame the brown window units, and the siding runs up the chimney chase above the roofline. At the back, a gable with an arched window and two small shed roofs is finished in the same charcoal.
What we did
- Replaced the lap siding on the upper walls above the brick
- Wrapped the windows and corners in matching dark trim
- Sided the chimney chase above the roof
- Fitted the siding around the box bay roof and the stacked bay windows
- Installed new gutters
Siding a house with bays, chases and roof tie-ins
Every bump-out on a house creates corners and roof-to-wall joints, and each one is a spot where water can get behind siding if the details are rushed. The small shingled roof over the box bay is a good example. Where it meets the wall, flashing needs to sit behind the siding and lap over the shingles so water stays on the outside.
A chimney chase clad in siding deserves the same attention. It stands above the roof, takes wind from every direction and meets the shingles on all four sides. Clean trim at the corners and proper flashing at the base keep it tight. When you compare siding quotes for a house shaped like this, ask how each of these spots will be handled.
Questions homeowners ask about siding a brick two-story
Will new siding work with the existing windows?
Trim color is chosen with the windows in mind. Here the dark trim sits next to brown window frames and red brick, and the three tones work together. If you plan to replace windows later, it is worth thinking about the trim color now so it will suit both.
Should gutters go up before or after the siding?
After. The siding and trim go on first, and the gutters are hung on the finished edge so nothing has to be pulled off later. That order also lets the downspouts be placed where they will not cover new trim lines.
