The village of Grand Rapids sits between our two locations. Our Bowling Green office at 315 N Main St is about 15 miles away, and our Maumee headquarters is a similar drive along the river. Either way, a Frogtown siding estimate is an easy trip, not an out-of-the-way favor.
For a small village, that matters. You can meet with us at the house, look at samples against your trim and porch, and know the team that installs your siding will still be close by when you need them. We can also plan siding together with roof or gutter work so the whole exterior is handled at once.
Grand Rapids grew up on the south bank of the Maumee River after a side-cut canal connected it to the state canal system in the 1840s. Its canal-era downtown is now a restored historic town on the National Register of Historic Places, with mule-drawn boats on the Miami and Erie Canal and the Isaac Ludwig Mill at nearby Providence Metropark.
With 925 residents (2020 census), it’s a place where every house is part of the streetscape. Many homes are older, set on narrow lots under mature trees, with porches, trim and details that give the village its character.
Applebutter Fest fills the riverfront every October, and plenty of visitors notice the houses along the way. That makes siding choices more personal here. The right product protects the house and looks like it belongs, while the wrong one can make a historic home look generic.
For older Grand Rapids homes, we usually start with CertainTeed’s traditional profiles. Restoration Classic is a smooth clapboard with an old-house look, American Legend offers narrow double-4 and double-5 courses, and Carolina Beaded adds a beaded bottom edge that echoes classic millwork. Cedar Impressions shingles can finish gables and porch walls with the look of real cedar.
Color matters just as much. A useful guideline is the 60-30-10 approach: a main color on about 60 percent of the house, a secondary color on about 30 percent, and an accent on the remaining 10. On a village home, that might mean a soft main body color, contrasting trim, and a deeper accent on the door or shutters.
Shade from the river trees also affects siding. North walls under heavy cover can grow mildew, which cleans off vinyl easily with mild soap and water, and keeping branches trimmed back lets those walls dry faster.
Older homes in the village often have walls that are no longer perfectly flat after a century of settling. Before new siding goes on, we check the walls and shim out low spots so the courses run straight and the finished siding doesn’t show every dip in the old framing. It’s careful, unhurried work that many installers skip, but it’s what makes new siding look right on an old house.
We work carefully around original porches, brackets and trim, protecting details worth keeping while making sure every joint is flashed to keep water out.
In a village where neighbors notice everything, we want your siding project to be one people point to. Frogtown Roofing Plus is BBB accredited with an A+ rating. Call (419) 495-8314 to schedule a free estimate.
Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t fully realize how important it is to hire true professionals for siding installation or replacement. Too often, the decision comes down to whoever offers the lowest price, with the assumption that it will be good enough.
We understand the need to stay within a budget, but choosing a bargain-basement contractor can create problems that end up costing far more over time. Poor-quality installation often leads to issues with appearance, durability, overall performance, and even the energy savings your home should be benefiting from.
But you don’t have to worry about these kinds of issues when you trust the siding experts at Frogtown Roofing Plus. We use only the finest materials, employ the highest level of craftsmanship, and always stand behind the work we complete.
