Benefits

We understand the importance of aesthetics, which is why we offer Cedar Impressions® as an alternative to standard vinyl siding. This siding features a TrueTexture™ woodgrain finish to mimic the appearance of natural wood, but is made from polymer, so it will not be susceptible to as much damage as traditional cedar shake siding.

Other benefits of Cedar Impressions® include:
  • Available in over 15 colors and 6 profiles.
  • Comes with 3/4” panel protection for enhanced performance.
  • Can withstand up to 200 mph of windload pressures due to its integrated RigidForm® 200 technology.
  • Comes with a Patented PanelThermometer™, temperature lines, reinforced nail slots, and molded locks for an easier, more precise, and more secure installation.
  • Made from polymer, so it’s sustainable.
  • Resistant to fading, mold, and mildew.

Our Process

Step 1

Use CertainTeed’s visualizer tool to experiment with different colors and profiles.

Step 2

Once you land on your favorite combination, you’ll schedule a free consultation with us, where we’ll discuss project requirements (including budget) to help you further refine your options. Our priority is ensuring your project remains within budget!

Step 3

After you accept our quote, we’ll order your Cedar Impressions® siding.

Step 4

The project begins after we receive the materials we need from CertainTeed®. We’ll schedule a day most convenient for you and begin the work by removing old siding, repairing or replacing damaged wood (as needed), and installing foam and wrap to protect your home while we install your new siding.

Step 5

When we’ve completed site preparation, we’ll install starter strips, which are the best foundation for any siding project. We’ll always use proper channeling and clean aluminum work because we care about delivering beautiful, defect-free results.

Step 6

Next, we install the siding, ensuring we carefully handle each shingle to prevent scuffing. When installing siding, we deliver every nail by hand, which is crucial because nails can expand and contract as temperatures fluctuate (common in Michigan). If the Cedar Impressions® shingles can’t expand and contract with the nails, they will eventually warp, which you definitely don’t want for aesthetic purposes.

Step 7

After installing your siding, we’ll perform a final walkthrough to review our work and ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the results. We also guarantee a comprehensive cleanup—we believe in mess-free construction, so we always use an Equipter to catch old siding and debris during any project.

Step 8

All that’s left is for you to enjoy your new siding!

I had a roof repair that other roofers refused to take on. Prior to completing the repairs Scott and Brody showed me why the problem was occurring and explained the solution. Once they executed the repair they cleaned up the area so that it looked as if there was never a problem. I appreciated their courtesy and professionalism and would recommend them in the future.

Garage siding looks great and the crew was friendly, efficient, and very respectful of my property while working. They did an excellent job cleaning up, I haven't found a single bit of litter left behindRyan was my point of contact and truly the reason I decided to go with L&S.

Matt and the entire L&S crew did a fabulous job helping us with a new roof. We had an active leak and they were quick to come out for the initial consult, helped provide a temporary fix until the new roof could be installed and then were able to move up our job a couple weeks which was greatly appreciated. The crew arrived on time, took great care to protect the house and landscaping, and did a wonderful job with the clean up. Additionally the price was competitive. Thanks to everyone for making this unanticipated improvement a smooth and easy process.

Really happy with our roof tune-up and gutter replacement. Pricing was fair and service was great. There were no pushy sales tactics to upgrade to more than we needed, and even though we didn’t have the biggest job I still felt like they cared above and just taking our money. Will definitely use them when we need our roof replaced in the future.

Ryan with the sales team was great. Communication was flawless between him and the rest of the team. Super fast scheduling and the work they did exceed my expectations. They installed both siding and gutters on our garage had both of them done very quickly and with great workmanship. Would strongly recommend.

My parents had L&S tear off the old roof and install a new roof with new ply wood. John and the crew did a great job. They ensured to clean up everything that dropped. They even moved and put back lots of lawn ornaments. Also thank you to Tony who did a great job explaining all the work being done!

I am very pleased with the installation of my new roof. I’ve had many projects done on my house over the last 25 years but I think this is the first time I’ve felt great about the work done. John and the whole crew were very professional and went over and above what a normal roof installation should be! Highly recommended!

From the initial consultation and follow up with our rep Matt, to the day of the full roof replacement project with John and Lenny leading the crew, we are extremely happy customers. Great communication from the office staff and the installation crew. We used L&S once before in 2021 and we were also very happy with their repair service. Thanks again!

I seldom write reviews, but having a new roof put on is expensive no matter who you choose and some? Some companies charge much more than others! We had two different companies make their proposals to us. We went with L&S Home Improvements (found via Angie's List). The first company wanted $33,000!!! and did a lot of "showcasing numbers"! We both got the feeling those two guys representing this company were just what one would expect from a "salesperson" - a lotta fluff, puff with questionable substance. Tony Combs, was our salesman and both my wife and I found an intuitive sense of integrity in what Tony told us. I am very happy to write this review to state that not only was his price just under $20,000, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, the company did EXACTLY what Tony said it would do! Tony checked in with us through all phases of the install (took 2 days) and followed up after. Whether you talk to the office personnel or Tony himself, if your experience is anything like ours, you will be VERY PLEASED!

When I submitted my request to Angi, L&S responded immediately. We set up an appointment with Matt. He was prompt and very professional. He explained in detail the problem I had with my existing roof. When his team arrived they were very professional. My new roof is beautiful. When they finished they cleaned up my yard beautifully. Matt was very attentive to my project from start to finish. I will not hesitate to have them for future projects. Thank you L&S for the great job your team did.
