Exterior Home Remodel in Connecticut: New Siding, Roof and Windows with CertainTeed Cedar Impressions

The outside of a home does a lot of work. It protects your family from Connecticut weather, shapes the first impression guests get from the street, and sets the tone for everything inside. When siding, roofing, and windows all start to show their age, tackling them together can make a real difference. That was the plan for this exterior home remodel in Connecticut , where Fiderio & Sons replaced the siding, roof, and windows, finishing the home with CertainTeed Cedar Impressions shake siding.

The Project: Siding, Roof, and Window Replacement

This was a full exterior update covering three major parts of the home. Our team replaced the roof, installed new windows, and wrapped the home in new siding. Handling all three as one coordinated project allowed each piece to be planned around the others, so the finished exterior looks and works like a single, well thought out design.

For the siding, the homeowner chose CertainTeed Cedar Impressions shake siding. This product line is designed to capture the classic, textured look of natural cedar shakes while offering the easier upkeep of a polymer material. It is a popular choice for homeowners who love a traditional New England look but do not want the ongoing painting and staining that real wood requires. Paired with a new roof and new windows, the shake siding gives the home a fresh, cohesive appearance from top to bottom.

How Fiderio & Sons Handled It

A project with three major scopes of work needs strong coordination. As a full service design build firm, Fiderio & Sons manages exterior projects from start to finish, including scheduling, product ordering, installation, and permits when they are required. Our sales, administrative, and production teams work together so homeowners have one dedicated team to call instead of juggling several separate contractors.

Sequencing matters on a project like this. The roof, windows, and siding all meet at edges, trim, and flashing, and each has to be installed in the right order so the home stays protected and every detail ties together cleanly. Planning the work as one project helps avoid the gaps and mismatched finishes that can happen when these jobs are done years apart by different crews.

Throughout the project, our focus stayed on the things our customers value most: clear communication, realistic expectations, a clean job site, and as little disruption to the household as possible. That approach has guided Fiderio & Sons since John and Celine Fiderio founded the company in 1984, and it is a big reason families trust us with their homes.

A well planned exterior remodel helps a home stand up to all four seasons while looking its best. If you are curious about how other exterior projects come together, our three season sunroom conversion in Avon is another recent example of our work.

What to Know Before an Exterior Remodel

Decide what to do first, or do it together. If your roof, siding, and windows all need attention, the order matters. Our guide on what to replace first when your home needs roofing, siding, and windows walks through how to prioritize, and why combining the work can make sense.

 Think about the look you want. Siding style and color shape the character of your home. Shake siding offers a classic, textured look, while other profiles create a cleaner or more modern feel. Our article on how to choose the right siding color and style can help you narrow down options.

Understand what shapes the budget. The size of the home, the number of windows, the roof's condition and complexity, the products you select, and any repairs uncovered during the work all play a role in cost. A consultation is the best way to get a clear picture for your home.

Plan for timing and weather. Exterior work depends on product availability, permits, and the weather. A good contractor will explain the schedule up front and keep you updated as the project moves forward.

Ask about financing. A full exterior remodel is a significant investment. Fiderio & Sons offers financing options to help make larger projects easier to plan.
