What we see on Metamora homes
Metamora's median house dates from 1989, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 1,604 housing units, 90.7% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That is a high share, and it means most of these conversations are with the person who will live with the result rather than with somebody signing off on a property they never see. 10.7% has been built since 2010, so a fair number of these are original builder units reaching the age where the glass seal goes before anything else does.
The seventies and eighties are where the first generation of vinyl siding and aluminum-clad windows shows up, and both are now well past what they were built for. Vinyl from that era goes chalky and brittle: it cracks when a ladder leans on it instead of flexing. The windows fail differently. The sealed unit fogs while the frame still looks perfectly sound, which is why people put up with them for years longer than they need to. 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 Metamora 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, with full-size units rather than swatches. Daylight changes a color more than most people expect it to.
