Scope: Roof replacement, siding replacement, and vinyl window upgrade
Location: Morris Plains, New Jersey
Products Installed: GAF Timberline® HDZ Pewter Gray shingles, CertainTeed Granite Gray siding (Cedar Impressions on the front, traditional lap siding on the sides and back), Viwinco vinyl replacement windows
The Challenge
This Morris Plains home had reached the point where updates were necessary. The painted cedar shake siding was weathered and deteriorating, the original roof was presenting small leaks, and the aging windows were drafty and inefficient. The homeowners wanted a solution that would protect their home, improve energy efficiency, and refresh its curb appeal—all while keeping with the style of their neighborhood.
Our Solution
Roof Replacement
We removed the failing roof and installed GAF Timberline® HDZ architectural shingles in Pewter Gray. These shingles offer LayerLock™ technology for superior strength, StainGuard Plus™ protection to fight algae, and come backed by industry-leading warranties. With new flashing, ice & water shield, and proper attic ventilation, the home is now safeguarded against New Jersey’s toughest weather.
Siding Installation
To replace the dated painted cedar shake, the homeowners chose a combination of CertainTeed Granite Gray siding styles:
- Cedar Impressions® shingles on the front façade to maintain a timeless, textured look.
- Traditional lap siding on the sides and back for a clean, low-maintenance finish.
This pairing provides both curb appeal and durability, with color that won’t fade and siding that won’t warp, peel, or crack like painted cedar.
Window Replacement
The original drafty windows were upgraded to ViWinCo vinyl replacement windows. These modern units provide enhanced insulation, easy operation, and a fresh appearance. With Low-E glass and improved seals, they’ll help the homeowners enjoy a quieter, more comfortable interior while reducing energy costs year-round.
The Result
The transformation is remarkable: a unified exterior with fresh lines, updated textures, and a modern gray palette. The Pewter Gray roof and Granite Gray siding create a sophisticated contrast, while the ViWinCo windows complete the upgrade with both beauty and function. The home is now fully protected from the elements, more energy-efficient, and designed to impress for decades to come.
