The city of Wheaton is 25 miles west of Chicago and it has that small-town charm but yet has all the conveniences of the city. There are so many things to see and do here which make it a great place to live or work. Visiting the downtown area is a must with lots of restaurants and fun shops. The Illinois Prairie Path runs through the downtown area which is great for walking and biking. The train station is in downtown Wheaton as well so it is perfect for commuters. The French Market on Saturday mornings is a ton of fun to visit to get fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, honey, and more.
One of our favorite places to visit in Wheaton is the Denada Equestrian Center and Forest Preserve. There are beautiful horses to pet and ride if you want to take lessons. The nature path here is beautiful in the prairie areas and wooded areas. There are also two of the friendliest cats you will ever meet that live here to that roam the grounds. Below is a picture of Joshua Inglis from Lifetime Xteriors, a Wheaton roofing contractor, taking a well-deserved nap with the two cats after a long week of installing roofs. There are so many more places to enjoy the great outdoors in Wheaton with Cantigny Park, Herrick Lake Forest Preserve, Blackwell Forest Preserve, Adams Park, Lincoln Marsh Forest Preserve, and more! You and your family will love the Cosley Zoo if you have not been yet.
For all these reasons and more we love being Wheaton roofing contractors. The photo at the top of the page features a project where we installed a new roof, installed all new siding, installed gutters, new facia, and new soffit for a custom home builder. The style of the home is called Farmhouse. The Farmhouse style home has been popularized by HGTV. It typically features white siding and a black roof. Our client on this project wanted to add some extra color to the farmhouse so they opted for a beautiful blue door with blue shutters. We think they made the right choice as it looks absolutely stunning!
The next photo below this paragraph shows the project in progress. This photo was taken right after we installed the roof and wrapped the siding with Tyvek. Most cities and villages will do a wrap inspection so that is why many times you will see houses with Tyvek exposed for some time.
The photo below this paragraph shows what the project looks like after we installed facia, soffits, gutters, and siding. The type of siding that was installed is called LP SmartSide. It is better than traditional cedar siding in every way and requires much less maintenance and has a cleaner look.
The photo below this paragraph shows what the house looked like when everything was done. Here you can see the beautiful blue shutters which really give this home some character.
Below this paragraph you will see what the backside and the side of the home look like. The bump out on the home is for the fireplace.
The photo below this paragraph is another project we completed as Wheaton roofing contractors and Wheaton siding contractors where we replaced the siding and roof. We installed architectural shingles on the front of the home and a flat roof on the backside of the home. At Lifetime Xteriors we will do everything from a simple roof repair to a complete make over for your home’s exterior.
