Antes y después: El cambio de imagen de bajo mantenimiento

Before

Dave and Tammy Blatti designed, built and general contracted their contemporary New Hampshire dream home with the help of an architect. The design was everything they had hoped for but after nearly 25 years, the exterior siding was in need of an update. Part of the problem was the natural cedar clapboards and pine trim used in the original design.

"Our house's exterior curb appeal was suffering due to the frequent and often costly upkeep and maintenance that was needed,” explained Dave Blatti.

Wood siding requires near continuous cleaning and protection to keep the colors from fading and the product from rotting.

The Blattis went in search of some new product options.

When considering a new style for their home, maintenance was of upmost importance.

“We were looking for a clean look with maintenance-free products that just needed washing periodically,” said Blatti. “We got our inspiration from admiring the updated looks of newly built homes and seeing how materials were evolving in the industry.”

That’s when they discovered Cedar Impressions^®.

“CertainTeed became our choice. We loved the looks of the Cedar Impressions product - the quality, colors and the look of natural wood cedar siding. You almost couldn't tell the difference,” said Blatti.

To get that perfect look, the Blattis chose Cedar Impressions Double 7" Straight Edge Perfection shingles in Savannah Wicker.

And perhaps the biggest benefits of the new product? No maintenance aside from the occasional cleaning. To complete the look the Blatti’s selected CertainTeed CertaTrim^® trimboards and roofing.

“We absolutely love the way the exterior makeover came together from curb appeal, colors and the ease of the installation process,” said Blatti.
