What we see on LaSalle-Peru homes
69.1% of the housing in LaSalle-Peru predates 1970, and the largest single band of it went up between 1940 and 1970. 29.7% of it predates 1940, so a lot of these openings are out of square and none of them are a catalog size. That is the whole reason we measure every opening instead of ordering to a chart.
The exterior on a house that age is often not the first one. Aluminum siding from the sixties, vinyl over the top of it in the nineties, and somewhere underneath the wood the house was built with. We look behind the old material before quoting, so the layer count and the state of the sheathing are known rather than guessed at. In these houses the original single-glazed windows are usually the biggest single draft in the place. On siding specifically the layer count decides the day: one layer comes off cleanly, two means the sheathing has not seen daylight in thirty years.

What we can put on a LaSalle-Peru house
All of it is Alside: Coventry and Odyssey Plus vinyl, Board N Batten for a vertical look, and Ascend Composite for the look of real wood. Profile and color are the two big decisions, and each line has its own range of both. Soffit, fascia and trim are part of the same job rather than an extra line.
There is a showroom at 402 S. Main St., Creve Coeur, IL 61610. Color on a screen is not color in daylight, and a sample chip is not a panel, so it is worth the drive before you commit to either.
