Siding that fits Pekin houses
small-town gables, some with additions that changed the roof plane in the 1980s James Hardie fiber cement is the upgrade when a wall takes weather and you want a painted look that does not cup. Premium vinyl is the right call when the budget and the architecture are simpler. We do not wrap a historic masonry face in vinyl and call it an improvement.
wind down the highway corridor and ice in the low additions Housewrap, flashing at windows, and a real starter course are the part of the wall nobody photographs. They are also why the job either lasts or does not.
Pekin additions are the leak. The front gable can be fine while the tie-in over the laundry room is not. We photo that joint first.
Trim, soffit, and what we will not cover up
The original roof and the addition roof meet at a dead valley nobody relined If the wall behind the siding is soft, we stop and show you. Covering rot is how a siding job becomes a callback.
Color for a Pekin wall is chosen in daylight on that street, not from a phone screen in the truck.
Questions
Hardie or vinyl for a Pekin house?
small-town gables, some with additions that changed the roof plane in the 1980s Fiber cement earns its place on walls that take weather and on elevations you want to look painted. Vinyl is honest on simpler architecture. We recommend one, not both, for the same wall.
Will new siding fix drafts?
Only if the wall behind it is detailed. wind down the highway corridor and ice in the low additions We replace soft sheathing instead of bridging it.
Do you match existing trim?
We match where the product still exists and we tell you when it does not. Pekin houses from different decades do not share one trim profile.
