It started with a call we never hoped to get: a serious spring storm had battered Mr. Chin’s house in New Albany, leaving roofing leaks and siding damage in its wake.
When he reached out to our crew, he didn’t just want a roof repair. He wanted a transformation that would restore both function and curb appeal. We were all in.
When Nature Strikes, You Need More Than a Patch
That spring, New Albany residents saw wind gusts and hail that stressed many homes’ exteriors. For Mr. Chin, the storm ripped up the asphalt shingles and dislodged siding panels.
Inside, he noticed water stains creeping down ceilings. Outside, the siding looked battered and worn. He wanted peace of mind that things wouldn’t fall apart in the next downpour—and he wanted his home to look sharp again.
We got in quickly, assessed the full scope of damage, and planned a full roof replacement plus siding refresh.
Our goal: deliver a durable, modern look that will last through Indiana’s shifting seasons.
Choosing Materials That Go Beyond Fixing
When you replace a residential roof and siding, every material choice matters.
For Mr. Chin’s home, we selected Owens Corning Duration Premium shingles in Onyx Black. That deep black tone lends sharp contrast, hides any shadows or debris, and gives the roof a sleek, modern presence.
For his siding, we installed white DL4.5 Oak Harbor RMC siding, which offers crisp brightness and classic appeal. The white siding balances nicely with the darker roof while giving the home a fresh, clean façade.
These weren’t random picks.
The Duration Premium line brings impact resistance and long-term durability. The DL4.5 siding system is designed for strong performance and visual consistency over time. Together, they provide both reliability and aesthetic harmony.
The Transformation Journey
Day 1: Tear‑off & Reveal
We began by stripping away the storm-damaged roofing. Our crew took care to protect the landscaping and surroundings. With the old materials removed, we inspected the sheathing and framing for any hidden rot or wear.
Day 2–3: Roof Installation
We layered in quality underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, then installed the Owens Corning shingles carefully, paying close attention to alignment and wind resistance patterns. The Onyx Black color instantly changed the mood of the home. The new roof looked bold yet refined.
Day 4–5: Siding Replacement
While the roof work was underway, another crew removed the damaged siding. We prepped the exterior, sealed it against moisture infiltration, and installed the white DL4.5 Oak Harbor RMC siding. Trim, corners, and transitions were handled precisely to preserve clean lines.
Inspection & Finish Touches
At the end, we walked every inch with Mr. Chin, verifying flashing, fasteners, and aesthetics. We cleaned the site, removed debris, and double-checked for any gaps or potential weak points.
Results That Speak for Themselves
- Zero leaks, guaranteed: The new roof and siding provide full integrity against rain, wind, and seasonal stress.
- Massive visual upgrade: The onyx black roof against crisp white siding gives strong architectural contrast and elevates curb appeal in the New Albany neighborhood.
- Long-term peace of mind: With durable materials and attention to detail, Mr. Chin can confidently weather future storms.
Mr. Chin told us, “I was worried the next big weather front would undo everything. Now I’m relieved. It looks great, and I know it’s built to last.”
