Glenside, PA Exterior Transformation – GAF Roofing, CertainTeed Siding & Seamless Gutters

June 20, 2019

Sheppard Exteriors projects go beyond a roof replacements and often completely transform the appearance, protection, and value of a home. This recently completed project in Glenside, Pennsylvania combined a premium 50-Year GAF Roofing System in Charcoal, CertainTeed Forest Green Vinyl Siding, custom white aluminum capping and trim, and new 6K seamless white aluminum gutters to give this home an entirely new look and decades of dependable performance.

From Aging Exterior to Modern Curb Appeal

When we first arrived at this Glenside property, the home's exterior showed the signs of age that many older Delaware Valley homes eventually face. The roofing system was nearing the end of its service life, while the existing siding and exterior trim required significant updating to improve both appearance and weather resistance.

Our team developed a comprehensive exterior renovation plan designed to modernize the home while reducing future maintenance requirements.

50-Year GAF Roofing System Installation

The project began with a complete roof replacement utilizing a full GAF roofing system in Charcoal. Every component of the roofing assembly was installed to work together as a complete weather-protection system, providing superior performance and long-term reliability.

The roofing project included:

Complete roof tear-off and replacement
Full GAF Lifetime Roofing System installation
Premium architectural shingles in Charcoal
High-performance roofing underlayment
Ice and water protection in critical areas
New flashing and weatherproofing components
Proper ridge ventilation for attic airflow
Detailed final inspection and cleanup


The rich Charcoal shingle color provides a clean, modern appearance while beautifully complementing the new siding selection.

CertainTeed Forest Green Vinyl Siding Installation

One of the most dramatic changes to the property came from the installation of CertainTeed Forest Green Vinyl Siding. The deep green color brings warmth and character to the home while creating a distinctive appearance that stands out in the neighborhood.

Benefits of the new siding system include:
Enhanced curb appeal
Reduced exterior maintenance
Improved weather resistance
Increased energy efficiency
Long-lasting color retention
Protection against moisture intrusion


The combination of Forest Green siding and bright white trim creates a timeless exterior color palette that balances traditional character with modern design.

Custom White Aluminum Capping and Trim

To complete the siding installation, our team installed custom-fabricated white aluminum capping and trim around windows, doors, fascia, and exterior wood surfaces.

This important finishing detail not only enhances the home's appearance but also protects vulnerable wood trim from moisture, rot, peeling paint, and ongoing maintenance concerns. The crisp white trim creates clean architectural lines throughout the property and provides a striking contrast against the Forest Green siding.

New 6K Seamless Aluminum Gutter System

The exterior renovation was completed with the installation of new 6K seamless white aluminum gutters. Proper water management is critical to protecting a home's siding, foundation, landscaping, and roofing system.

The larger-profile seamless gutter system provides:
Improved rainwater handling capacity
Reduced risk of leaks at seams
Enhanced durability and performance
Improved protection for the foundation and landscaping
A clean, finished appearance that complements the new exterior
A Complete Exterior Makeover


The transformation of this Glenside home demonstrates how a coordinated roofing, siding, trim, and gutter project can dramatically improve both aesthetics and functionality. The finished result is a beautiful, low-maintenance exterior designed to provide decades of protection while significantly increasing curb appeal and homeowner confidence.

From the striking Forest Green siding to the premium Charcoal GAF roof, every element was carefully selected and professionally installed to create a cohesive, high-quality finished product.
