A Century-Old Home Gets New Vinyl Siding, and Life, in Hendrik, Iowa

From Forgotten to Finest on the Block

Midwest Seamless Vinyl Siding & Windows | Siding Installation | Hendrick, Iowa

Some houses don't just sit on a street, they anchor it. They're the ones with the steep rooflines, the old-growth trees out front, and a history that stretches back further than most people in town can remember. That's exactly the kind of house Mike Maher and his crew at Midwest Seamless showed up to work on in Hendrik, Iowa this spring.

And when they left, it was the nicest-looking home on the block.

A House Worth Saving

Built in the early 1900s, this home had good bones and the kind of craftsmanship and character that newer construction just doesn't replicate. But over the decades, the exterior had aged past the point of a fresh coat of paint. The homeowners knew it needed more than a touch-up. They wanted to modernize it without losing what made it special.

The challenge was real: how do you bring a century-old home into 2025 without stripping away its soul?

Finding a Contractor Worth Trusting

The homeowners started where most people start — Google. They live on the outer edge of Midwest Seamless's 90-mile service radius, and finding a quality, reliable contractor in their area hadn't been easy. After searching, they found Midwest Seamless and reached out.

Mike came out, walked the property, and listened. He didn't push a product. He asked questions about what they wanted to preserve, what they wanted to modernize, and what would make this house feel like their home for the next generation.

That conversation led to a plan.

The Work: Alside Composite Siding That Respects the Original Design

The crew installed Alside composite siding in a deep charcoal gray — a color that honors the original character of the home while giving it a crisp, modern presence. White trim throughout ties together the steep gables, dormers, and architectural details that make this house worth noticing in the first place.

The goal wasn't to make it look new. It was to make it look right.

Every panel was installed with the care and precision that Midwest Seamless has built its reputation on since 1963. The existing lines of the house were followed and respected. The old bones were kept. The old problems — deteriorating exterior, drafts, maintenance headaches — were solved.

The Result: The Nicest House in Town

The photos say more than we can. Against a clear blue Iowa sky, with a blooming crabapple tree in the yard and fresh spring grass at its feet, this house looks like it was always meant to look this good. It just needed the right team to get it there.

The homeowners got what they asked for: a home that feels updated and modern, but still feels like it — the same house that's stood in Hendrik for over a hundred years, now with another hundred years ahead of it.
