What Do You Do When Your Entire Exterior Needs to Be Replaced?
For homeowners in Valley Center, KS, reaching the point where every major exterior system needs attention at once can feel overwhelming. This traditional residential home had front-facing dormers, varied trim details, and multiple entry points that all needed to be addressed together. The vinyl siding had run its course, and the homeowners wanted something more durable and more distinctive. They started asking what it would take to do the whole thing right.

After
A Full Exterior That Was Ready for Replacement
The existing exterior materials were at the end of their useful life. Beyond basic wear, the home presented several layers of complexity: dormers with varying trim details, soffit measurements that could not be confirmed until tearoff was complete, and multiple entry areas that needed to be rebuilt. Doing this project in pieces would have created mismatched results and wasted time. The homeowners needed a single contractor who could plan and execute every scope of work together.
Why Keeter Roofing & Remodeling?
The homeowners chose Keeter Roofing & Remodeling because they needed one contractor who could manage a complex, multi-scope exterior renovation without losing the details. With roofing, siding, trim, guttering, weather barriers, and exterior carpentry all on the list, they wanted a team they could trust to handle the full project safely, efficiently, and in the right sequence.

How the Project Came Together
The consultation focused on evaluating the full exterior envelope and mapping out a coordinated installation sequence. Product recommendations covered every layer of the system, from the weather barrier to the finished siding and trim. One of the most important planning decisions was the installation order.
Â
Certain soffit materials could not be ordered until the existing vinyl siding was fully removed and the exact sizes confirmed. The team dried in the entire home with HardieWrap before placing the final soffit order, eliminating waste and ensuring a precise fit. Roof replacement was planned for after the re-side was complete and after the homeowner’s painter had used the installed toe boards to access the upper areas. Each phase was sequenced to protect finished work and keep the project moving without costly rework.
The Results: A Complete Exterior Transformation
The finished project delivered more than a basic exterior replacement. The combination of Onyx Black impact-resistant roofing, Dark Bronze guttering, and a mix of James Hardie lap siding, staggered shake, and textured trim created a custom, elevated look. The front dormers received special treatment with staggered shake on the faces and lap siding on the sides, adding visual contrast and architectural character. Rebuilt landings and steps brought every entry point in line with the upgraded exterior.
Â
The homeowners wanted a complete exterior update that would improve durability, weather protection, and curb appeal while giving the home a more polished and cohesive look. Through careful planning, premium product selection, and attention to installation details, the finished project delivered a dramatic upgrade in both function and appearance.
