Exterior Transformation in Eaton, Ohio: A Vinyl Siding Upgrade Done Right

At American Way Exteriors, we’re proud to serve communities throughout Preble County with top-tier exterior renovation solutions. One of our latest projects brought us to a beautiful home on East Lakengren Drive in Eaton, Ohio—just minutes from Lakengren Lake and close to the heart of Preble County.

This area is known for its quiet charm, wooded lots, and strong sense of community. Many homes in the Lakengren development are well-established and now reaching the point where exterior updates can enhance both curb appeal and structural longevity. That’s where we came in.

Project Overview

Our team was hired to give this home a full exterior refresh with new vinyl siding and Hardie trim work. After evaluating the condition of the existing materials, we developed a customized plan to strip away the old and bring in a clean, updated look that would complement the surrounding homes in the Lakengren area.

Scope of Work

• Removed all existing siding to start with a clean slate.
  
  
• Removed outdated metal wrap on the garage to prep for new, cohesive materials.
  
  
• Installed James Hardie smooth white trim around all front-facing windows, the front door, and the garage for a crisp, defined finish.
  
  
• Installed Mastic Ovation Double 4" vinyl siding in the Natural Slate color—an attractive, neutral tone that stands out without being overwhelming.
  
  
• Finished with matching Natural Slate siding corners to complete the look with consistency and attention to detail.
