523-SW Kennybrook Drive, Grimes, Iowa:

The homeowners chose, 6 7/8 in profile, American Classic Cedar Grain Plank Polymeric Siding with Progressive Foam Halfback H2O universal siding insulation.


Step One: Midwest Construction’s crews removed the old hardboard siding from the home and hauled it away for the homeowners. After the tear off, the crews inspected all of the out walls for soft or rotten sheeting and replaced if and where needed.

Our crews also inspected all of the window sills, casings and door casings, and all soffit and fascia on the home for soft or rotten wood and replaced if and where needed with new lumber.

Step Two: Once the walls were prepared, our crews then installed Halfback H2O that features the Premium Technology of Neopor from BASF. The crucial difference in Neopor is that BASF integrated graphite within the Neopor cell structure. The graphite reflects radiant heat and significantly improves the insulation capacity. This product does a few things for this home. It provides insulation to exterior walls, provides a flat smooth surface to install new siding, and provides a great water permeability that won’t trap moisture.

Step Three: Our crews install around all window and door openings a weather proof tape to prevent water and air infiltration around the openings.

(All of the outer walls of the home and attached garage were covered with Progressive Foam Technologies Halfback H2O and then taped to prevent and water or air infiltration.)

Our crews covered all of the window sills, and casings, and door casings with custom bent PVC fused aluminum coil stock. Once the side walls were prepared with water management techniques, it is finally time to install American Classic Hidden Ridge soffit system and custom bent PVC fused aluminum coil stock with extra hems and ridges to prevent any wavy looking fascia boards.

Midwest Construction’s owner, production managers and crews are VSI certified to provide homeowners peace of mind and comfort knowing their American Classic Cedar Grain Plank Polymeric/Vinyl siding was installed correctly and the products have been independently tested to perform and last.
