A Striking Transformation in Iota, Louisiana – From Weathered Charm to Modern Elegance
August 5, 2025

At Southern Exterior Services, we take pride in breathing new life into homes while preserving their character. Our recent project in Iota, Louisiana, is a perfect example of how thoughtful exterior renovations can completely transform a property’s look, function, and longevity.
This beautiful historic home had plenty of charm, but years of wear had taken their toll. The original siding was faded, worn, and in need of replacement. Many of the windows were outdated and inefficient, and the home’s skirting and trim needed a fresh start.
The Renovation Process
1. Removing the Old Siding
We began by carefully removing all of the home’s old siding. This gave us a clean slate to work with, ensuring the new exterior would not only look great but also be properly protected against the elements.
2. Installing Premium CertainTeed Monogram Vinyl Siding
For the new exterior, the homeowners chose CertainTeed Monogram vinyl siding in the rich, bold Midnight Blue color. This siding is not only visually striking but also extremely durable and low-maintenance, ensuring years of lasting beauty without the need for constant upkeep.
3. Upgrading to Energy-Efficient Low-E Windows
Next, we replaced every window in the home – 30 brand-new Low-E windows in total. These modern, energy-efficient windows will help keep the home cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and reduce overall energy costs. We also installed two new exterior doors for improved functionality and security.
4. Wrapping and Protecting the Trim
Every window received custom white aluminum trim coil wrapping. This step not only frames the windows beautifully but also adds a layer of long-lasting protection from moisture and rot.
5. Installing New Skirting Around the Perimeter
To complete the transformation, we installed all-new skirting around the base of the home. This upgrade ties the entire look together while helping to protect the home’s foundation area.
The Final Result
The difference is nothing short of dramatic. The rich Midnight Blue siding contrasts perfectly with the crisp white trim, creating a timeless yet modern appearance. The home’s new windows and doors not only improve energy efficiency but also enhance curb appeal. The skirting provides a clean, finished look that complements the property’s architecture.
This project in Iota, Louisiana, is a perfect example of how a well-planned and skillfully executed renovation can revitalize a home from top to bottom. We’re proud to have been part of giving this historic property a brand-new chapter while ensuring it’s ready to stand strong for decades to come.
