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!

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.

From start to finish, this company is nothing less than exceptional! They kept us informed through it all! Work was excellent, as was the price! The entire staff was professional. They were so good that we hired them for an additional fix of our covered patio as well as the roof! Can’t recommend them enough!

I highly recommend L&S home improvements. My sales person was not pushy at all and was very knowledgeable about their products and explained everything in terms i could understand. They beat the competition hands down with their price. The job was done in a very timely manner. Extremely satisfied customer.

I couldn’t believe how fast the guys got my roof done, 1 day! That included the garage plus an added bonus of new gutters. What an efficient job, no leftover mess for us to clean up. The workers I spoke with were very kind and respectful. I would certainly recommend this company if you need roof work done or other home improvements. Talk with Tony Combs for friendly, knowledgeable recommendations. He’s also my cousin 😁.

Vaughn came out to my house early but on time and quoted me on gutters. Although I was able to get a cheaper quote somewhere else, I could not turn down the better warranty, customer service, or helpful tips and information Vaugh was able to give me. Being on time was a huge bonus :) I chose a cranberry color for my gutters due to Vaughn's amazing input. Seeing them on my house, I wouldn't pick any other color. Came home today on a rainy day and was so thrilled to see gutters that don't leak and water going where I want it to after removing two downspouts. The super sweet lady who calls and collects payment is a gem! so friendly and helpful as well! This business really goes the extra mile to make their customers happy before and after installation! I was not home for the installation but they completed the job way faster than I thought they would! Props to their hard working installers :) How can you say no to that! I am more than happy to have a yard sign for 60 days because they deserve all the referrals and business we can give them. If it was in my budget I would have had my whole house siding redone too. Cant wait to do business with L&S again :) Thank you!!Edit: Jan 2024I just met with Matthew Castiglione. I was interested in a quote for new siding. Matt was wonderful! I love this company and wanted no one else. I won't be buying new siding at this time. I only wanted a quote and he was okay with that. Matt's a good family man and he was very sweet to my dog :) I hope in the future I'm able to do more business with them!
