Vinyl Siding Replacement in Methuen, MA

Posted by admin on

Our team at Three Sons recently completed a siding replacement project on a home in Methuen, MA. These homeowners in Methuen, MA needed to replace their home’s siding and they contacted us to assist with the siding replacement! We met with the homeowners to discuss our siding materials, and after considering the options we had available, they decided to install a combination of CertainTeed Cedar Impressions and Monogram Vinyl Siding.

Once our homeowners had decided on the siding materials they wanted to install, we began the installation process by first removing the old siding off of their home’s exterior. Once the old siding was removed we began to install the new materials that our homeowners requested, with the Cedar Impressions shingles being installed at the front of the home above the stone siding, and the Monogram Vinyl siding going on the sides and rear of the home. Keep reading to learn more about the siding materials we used!

CertainTeed Cedar Impressions

Our team was happy to install CertainTeed’s Cedar Impression siding shingles on the front of our home. Cedar Impressions are a fantastic siding option that we recommend to all homeowners who are interested in the aesthetic benefits that cedar shingle siding provides but don’t want to deal with the maintenance issues that often arise when using wooden siding. Cedar Impressions shingles are molded from real cedar shingles, providing them with a beautiful texture, but since they are made with a polymer, they withstand the elements far better than traditional wooden shingles. They are a fantastic siding option that will add a boost of curb appeal to any home!

CertainTeed Monogram Vinyl Siding

On the back and sides of the home, these homeowners decided that they wanted to install CertainTeed’s Monogram vinyl siding. Monogram vinyl siding is a fantastic option for homeowners in search of a beautiful, durable, low-maintenance siding option that can keep their home protected from anything Mother Nature has to offer! CertainTeed Monogram is Class A Fire-Rated, and is capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 220 mph, making it a fantastic option for keeping your home protected, even on those windy Massachusetts days! Furthermore, Monogram is a highly customizable siding material, with over 40 different colors to choose from, ensuring that you can find the perfect option to fit your home’s exterior color scheme.

Kitchen Remodeling

How To Maximize Your Kitchen’s Space For Functionality

Posted by admin on

For some homeowners, making sure that you maximize the space you have can help make your kitchen space more functional and accessible. However, some homeowners don’t know where to begin when it comes to deciding where to start on their kitchen remodel. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can maximize your kitchen’s space, take a look at our blog to learn more about how to improve your home’s functionality by maximizing the space you have available!

Use Drawers Rather Than Doors On Your Cabinets & Cupboards

One of the easiest ways to increase your kitchen’s functionality when space is tight is to use drawers rather than doors. When using doors on your cabinets, you’ll still need to deal with digging through the back edges of your cabinets in order to reach everything in your doors. When you use drawers instead of cabinets, it makes it far easier to reach all of the things you have stowed away and it doesn’t mess up your organization.

Choose The Right Hardware For Your Cabinets

Another thing you can do to help make your small kitchen feel less cramped is to install cabinets without traditional handles. Look for cabinets that have handles set into the sides. If you don’t have large handles on your cabinets, you won’t get your clothes caught on anything trying to turn around.

Build A Breakfast Nook Rather Than Using A Kitchen Table

One of the easiest ways to use space in your kitchen is to add a kitchen table trying to create a dining area. However, if you don’t have a large space to work with, adding a kitchen table can make your small kitchen nearly impossible to navigate. If you’re looking for an easy way to add seating to your kitchen, consider building a breakfast nook with a couple of stools and a counter space. This will provide you with a place to enjoy your meals without making your kitchen any more crowded.

Take Advantage Of Hanging Storage

Another way you can make the most of the space you have available to you in your kitchen is by using hanging storage wherever you can. There are a number of places you can install hanging storage in your kitchen, including above your appliances, or possibly inside your cabinets by adding clips to the walls of your cabinets. It can be very easy to free up cabinet space by hanging your pots and pans over the stove, allowing you to use your cabinet space for your food.

New Wooden Front Door

Signs Your Front Door Needs To Replaced

Posted by admin on

Your front door is the entrance to your home. It helps to protect your home from the elements and intruders, as well as providing curb appeal and boosting your home’s resale value. With so much to gain from having a properly installed, well-maintained front door, it is important to ensure that your door is in good repair! If you’ve been wondering how you can tell if your front door needs to be replaced, keep reading to learn more!

Your Door Is Drafty

As your front door ages, your threshold can deteriorate, as can your door itself.  An old door can begin to leak air, as the seal around your door cracks with age and exposure to the elements. If you notice that your home is surprisingly cold, particularly around the entrances of your home, check around your door for drafts.

Your Door Is Rusted Or Damaged

Another sign that your door needs to be replaced is when you find that your door is beginning to rust or has dings and nicks, consider that as a sign that you should consider replacing it. While a few dings won’t affect your doors structural integrity, it does detract from your curb appeal. As for rust, if your metal door is beginning to rust, that can seriously compromise the strength of your door. If you see that your door is rusting or damaged, be sure to replace it!

Your Door Is Scraping The Floor Or Threshold

If you find that your door is scraping your floors or the threshold of the door, you likely need to replace the door. A door that is starting to scrape your floor indicates that your door has warped or sagged due to the elements. Rather than letting your door continue to damage your floors, replace your door to mitigate damage to keep your home protected.

You’re Finding Pests In Your Home

Pests, such as ants and other bugs, can find their way into your home by simply walking in through your front door. If your door doesn’t close properly, or there is a large gap in between your door and your threshold, you could be allowing in pests, as well as reducing your home’s energy efficiency. Finding pests near your entryways is a clear sign that your door isn’t doing its job.

Your Hinges Are Squeaking

Finally, if you find that your door’s hinges are getting louder by the day, it is a sign that you should consider replacing your door. While it’s possible that your door’s hinges may just need a bit of maintenance, squeaky hinges are often a sign that your door is not far behind! If you find that your hinges are squeaking, take a look at your door to examine whether you need your door replaced!
