Southern Antebellum Style Home Restored With New Siding And Trim

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.

Warmly,

Shake Siding For Christmas

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.

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.

Vinyl Shake Siding Saves Time and Money…


Greg & Terry Freeman
978 County Road 700 N, Toledo
, IL

Greg and Terry Freeman of Toledo are saving lots of time and money after having us cover their stained log exterior with vinyl shake siding.  They chose the natural cedar hand split shake style for the rustic feel that they wanted for their home. 

Without a doubt, a big bonus is they can now stop spending around $4,000 every 3 years chinking, staining, and sealing the logs. 

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

Extreme Makeover Spotlights Seamless Siding…

On Sunday, December 7, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, an Emmy award winning reality show, will spotlight a unique seamless siding product in the makeover of a farm house in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

The reality show team demolished Dirk and Susan DeVries’ old house and rebuilt it from ground up. Dirk had lost his arm in a farming accident and Susan was recovering from a heart condition.

Their daughter Hanna, 12, described her old house as “coming apart at the seams” before the complete makeover. Upon entering the old house, there was an immediate smell of mildew. Leaky ceilings, rotting wood siding and missing tiles are conditions that the DeVries and their 3 children don’t miss.

A local ABC Seamless Siding dealer volunteered to work around the clock one weekend to install their unique seamless steel siding, soffit and fascia. The seamless siding was custom made at the new home using a machine that rolls out and forms the siding from a steel coil with a durable PVC coating.

Because the crew was able to form the exact length of siding that was needed, the finished house has no ugly seams or splice. This allows a level of craftsmanship and protection from the elements that is not available with other materials.

According to Don Drake, an ABC Seamless dealer in Charleston, IL, the dark “Cinnamon” color that was used on the house is rarely found in vinyl siding, but is available in the seamless steel siding because it is resistant to fading due to sunlight.

The “DeVries Family” episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will air on Sunday, December 7th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.

Just give us a call at 1-800-443-3367 if you’d like to explore seamless siding for your home. We’d also love to answer any questions you may have about sunrooms, windows, vinyl siding, or gutter systems… Click here to schedule a free project consultation and quote.

Additional pictures are below, including many taken during the process of building the sunroom.
