What we see on Springfield homes
Springfield's median house dates from 1971, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 57,220 housing units, 63.4% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 18.2% predates 1940. On those the openings have usually been modified at least once, and what is behind the trim decides the job.
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 Springfield 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. Most people change their mind about a color at least once standing in front of the full-size panel, which is a much cheaper place to do it.
