Southern Antebellum Style Home Restored With New Siding And Trim

after2
302 North Pike, Oakland, IL 61938

This is a Southern Antebellum style home in Oakland that Drake Siding and Sunrooms restored to its glory.

For years, my passion has been restoration work on older quality homes.  They are, in my mind, a long standing testimony to who we are and what we stand for…

I care for the community and my customers and work very hard to deliver the highest quality of workmanship.  It is homes like these that allow these ideals to truly shine.

My thanks to Lesa, Laura, and Bob for allowing me to serve them in this manner.

Just give us a call at 1-800-443-3367 if you would like to explore new siding, replacement windows, a sunroom or addition for your home or business; or click here to schedule a free project consultation and quote.

And don’t forget to check out our new interactive color tool for siding and trim to see how different color combinations look.

Warmly,

Shake Siding For Christmas

808 N 19th Street, Mattoon, IL 61938

William and Cheryl Martin originally had us just put shake vinyl siding on just the front of their home.  And they loved it so much that they had us put the shake on the rest of the home too.  The hand split shake look gives the Martin’s home a nolstalgic and cheerful air that is especially appropriate for the holidays and Christmas. 

Just give us a call at 1-800-443-3367 if you would like to explore new siding, replacement windows, a sunroom or addition for your home or business; or click here to schedule a free project consultation and quote.

Mattoon Dental
225 E Richmond, Mattoon, IL 61920

When the Mattoon Dental Group recently decided to make the exterior of their building maintenance free, they chose Drake Siding and Sunrooms to cover their building’s wood areas with vertical ABC Seamless Siding in weathered cedar color.  To finish it off, the soffit, fascia and trim was covered with a sherwood green aluminum trim.

I am particularly pleased with how this one turned out.  Thanks, Dr. Greg and Cheryl Yount for your vote of confidence!

    , Shelbyville, IL 62565

    Kerry and Jean Hudson of Shelbyville  had us put vinyl hand split shake on the front gable and porch to add old world charm and beauty to their home.

    Finishing it off with vinyl siding gave them a maintenance free exterior.  They no longer have to worry about having to paint the old wood siding, or it being just another plain white house.

    Do You Qualify For An Energy Tax Credit?

    QUESTION: How do I qualify for the 2009 Energy Tax Credit?

    ANSWER: Due to the economic stimulus package, you can qualify for a tax credit up to $1500.00 when you install windows, doors, insulation, metal roofing or other energy efficient home improvement projects in 2009. You can deduct up to 30% of the cost of materials when you file your 2009 Federal taxes.

    One word of caution: you must deal with companies who are knowledgeable and that you can trust. NOT all windows, doors, and insulation meet the strict criteria needed to qualify for the credit.

    You must insist on documentation that shows the materials actually meet the energy efficiency ratings that are required. For example, just being labeled Energy Star does not mean that windows qualify. In addition, the windows must also meet certain insulation factors and Solar Heat Gain ratings.

    If you have questions about what materials meet the requirements for the tax credit, feel free to stop by, email, or call us.

    We have a wide variety of quality replacement windows and other products to fit most people’s budgets and that qualify for the tax credit.

    Just give us a call at 1-800-443-3367 or click here to schedule a free project consultation and quote.
