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!

L&S came out quickly, gave us great options, they explained the products in detail, and got the job done in less time than originally estimated. The cost estimate was spot on of the actual cost, and we are very satisfied with our new garage roof! They are also very personable and not pushy. Highly recommend

Just got our new roof done on 10/1/2025. The crew showed up bright and early and ready to work. Very pleased with the politeness and professionalism that we were shown by all the workers. Quite a big investment and it can be scary seeing that bottom line figure. However, Scott was wonderful to work with as he answered every single question I had and was very understanding of our situation as my mom has recently passed away. Had a lot going on at the moment.

I will recommend your company to anyone I know that needs roofing repairs or a new roof done. The whole process from start to finish was very thorough. L&S was the only company, and we had 3 of 4 companies come out, that actually went into our attic upon doing our estimate. The other 2 did not go in the attic and the other did only took a satellite picture of our home.

Thank you for everything! No more worries about leaks in the roof when it rains, our heating and cooling bills will be lower and we have a nicer looking home as well. The new roof, attic insulation and gutters have added value to the home and one less thing to worry about.

Wanted to post pics, but for whatever reason it won't let me....😔

We were very happy with the installation of our new roof. The crew that installs were very professional and took great caution in covering our house, flower beds with protective covering. We had up to six roof estimates and the final decision came down to trust and L&S did not disappoint.

Tony came out to Troy home and was straight forward throughout the whole process. He gave price, timeframe, clean-up, and overall what to expect. My calls were answered and the roof and gutters are awesome. More important, the price was lower than all other estimates using top quality materials. Two thumbs up!

Wow!! I was super impressed with every step in the process of getting my roof redone. Matt was very informative and detailed with checking before and after install. The crew was clean and very kind! They did an amazing job. The office staff was kind and great with keeping us informed. I would definitely recommend using L And S for roofing to anyone I know.

L&S has just completed their 2nd project on my house, and I couldn’t be more delighted!
The roof they installed 3 years ago still looks amazing! Their team was efficient, neat, and friendly. Furthermore, the crew leader was able to figure out a way to modify the venting on the front of my house so that I didn’t have those ugly boxes all over the place lol. Like, he did it ON SITE, DURING installation. I can’t find/remember his name, but L&S should bonus him up if they can.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting Brody and Scott who were equally excellent! They replaced/repaired some problem aluminum siding, and added siding where there was only bare wood. In addition, they were able to take care of some other problems on my garage that I only noticed last minute. The extra work took a few more hours, in diabolical heat without shade, but Scott and Brody remained gracious and friendly while taking it all in stride. They made everything look even better than I hoped for!
A special shout out to Tony, Matthew, and the L&S receptionists who also made the entire process pleasant and achievable in a timely manner, helping me to be well prepared for painting next week.
This company has easily earned all of my future business, and I won’t hesitate to recommend them to my own family and friends.

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.

Johnny and the crew did an awesome job! The roof looks amazing! They took really good of my Peony bushes and all my Hostos plants as well.

Matt came and did our estimate and he is a good guy to work with.

Thank you all!

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 behind

Ryan was my point of contact and truly the reason I decided to go with L&S. He is knowledgeable and easy to communicate with and I never felt pressured or upsold. He comes across as an honest and solid person, very trustworthy

I wish L&S did other areas of home improvement so I could book them again!

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!
