Summary
A full composite siding and gutter replacement in Maple Grove, Minnesota for a returning EZ Home Solutions client. Having completed their full roof replacement the previous year, the homeowner brought our team back to transform their aging exterior. We replaced the home's worn siding with Alside Ascend 7" Composite Lap Siding in Charcoal Smoke, paired with rich Longboard Dark Fir wood-look cladding accents, black trim, and seamless gutters to deliver a striking modern profile.
The Challenge Redesigning Aging Siding in Maple Grove, MN
On this Maple Grove home, the original siding had reached the end of its lifespan and no longer matched their new roof from the previous year. The goal was to redesign and modernize the home using high-end, low-maintenance materials that could withstand severe Minnesota weather and freeze-thaw cycles without warping, cracking, or fading.
The project presented a few visual challenges. As the ground grade drops down toward the backyard, a significant portion of the raw concrete foundation block was exposed. Standard installation would leave the concrete uncovered, breaking up the clean visual lines of the new composite panels. Additionally, the existing brick masonry would be kept, requiring the design and colors to be made around that as the base.

The EZ Home Solution Composite Siding with Accented elements
To execute this composite siding replacement in Maple Grove, EZ Home Solutions designed an exterior overhaul centered around composite strength, modern color contrast, and custom carpentry details:
Alside Ascend 7” Composite Siding: Installed composite lap siding in Charcoal Smoke, providing the deep shadow lines and structural rigidity of real wood while using glass-reinforced polymer technology and foam backing to resist hail impact and high winds.
Custom Furring Strips: To extend the composite siding over the exposed concrete foundation, our crew anchored furring strips directly into the masonry block. This created a level, solid fastening base, allowing us to carry the siding panels seamlessly down to the finished grade line.
Longboard Architectural Cladding: Accentuated the front entryway and upper second-story sections with Longboard 4” lap aluminum cladding in Dark Fir, delivering the rich warmth of stained timber without the rot, fading, or ongoing maintenance of natural wood.
Accent Detailing & Water Management Soffit, Fascia, and Gutters
A successful composite siding installation requires precise trim integration and high-capacity water management to protect the home’s foundation and framing:
High-Contrast Trim Package: Fitted soffit and fascia in solid Black, framing the Charcoal Smoke composite panels and Dark Fir wood accents cleanly.
Seamless Aluminum Gutters & Protection: Installed new black seamless aluminum gutters paired with heavy-duty BullDog® Gutter Guards to keep leaves and debris from clogging the drainage system.
Color-Matched Downspouts: To maintain a clean appearance over the home, we color-matched the downspouts directly to the brick masonry and siding, allowing function to blend naturally into the entry brickwork.
