Board and Batten Siding Replacement Transforms a Wichita, KS Home
Location: Wichita, KS
Services: LP SmartSide siding replacement, Board and Batten front elevation, custom trim carpentry, James Hardie house wrap and flashing, 5-inch seamless gutters, exterior painting
Deteriorating Siding, Trim, and Guttering
The home’s existing vinyl and Masonite siding, trim, fascia, and guttering had all reached the end of their service life. There was also concern that the underlying OSB sheathing could have hidden damage once the old siding came off, and several areas needed better flashing and water management to keep moisture out.
Patching individual problem areas would not have solved the underlying weatherproofing issues or improved the home’s appearance. The client needed a coordinated project covering siding, trim, house wrap, flashing, and gutters together.
Why the Client Chose Keeter Roofing & Remodeling
The client chose Keeter Roofing & Remodeling because the proposal addressed the entire exterior, not just the siding. The client was also given a say in the finished look, choosing the exterior body and trim colors along with the gutter color and downspout locations. The estimate included:
- A 30-day price guarantee
- A projected lifetime workmanship warranty
- Multiple financing options
- A clear change-order process for any additional sheathing repairs
Full Exterior Remodeling Services Completed
Keeter Roofing & Remodeling removed the existing siding and installed:
- LP SmartSide Board and Batten on the front elevation, using LP Smart Panel with 4/4-inch battens spaced 16 inches on center
- Primed and textured 12-inch LP SmartSide lap siding on the remaining elevations
- New LP SmartSide trim around windows, corners, the bay window, box-out window, chimney, and brick transitions
- New fascia and bird boxes
- James Hardie house wrap, Pro Flashing tape, custom paintable flashings, deck flashing, and diverters
- A new cedar porch handrail
- 5-inch seamless gutters with 3×4-inch oversized downspouts
- Two coats of Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint after power washing and caulking
The Project Delivery Process
The estimate accounted for potential issues before work began, including an allowance for six sheets of OSB sheathing repairs. Fixtures such as exterior lights, the doorbell, address numbers, satellite dishes, and two second-story vinyl windows were carefully removed and reset during the process. Water-management details, including house wrap, flashing, and diverters, were built into the installation to protect the home going forward.
Completed Siding Replacement Leaves Home Durable & Weather Resistant
The home’s exterior went from mismatched, aging vinyl and Masonite to a cohesive, updated design, highlighted by the Board and Batten front elevation the client envisioned. The project delivered improved weatherproofing, updated guttering, and a refreshed paint finish, backed by Keeter Roofing & Remodeling’s lifetime workmanship warranty.
