We Are Chester County's Trusted Marvin Window & Metal Roof Replacement Contractor

For many homeowners, picking the right siding isn’t that easy even if you have a traditional home. But what about when you have a contemporary home with rotted wood siding? That is where the experts at Global Home Improvement come in. For this Chester County home, we removed the old wood siding, added a ½ layer of insulation board and then installed James Hardie Staggered Shake Shingles to replace the look of hand cut cedar (without the maintenance). James Hardie is ideal for homes that are out in the woods because the fiber cement panels are impervious to bugs, squirrels, wood peckers and fire. You would be surprised how many homeowners lose sleep over bees that burrow into their wood siding or a wood pecker that wakes them up. James Hardie Siding solves all those headaches and will upgrade the look of your home’s exterior… Guaranteed!

This exterior home renovation was one of our biggest and best ever for this Malvern Home.

These fiberglass windows are 8x stronger than vinyl and allow for nearly 30% more glass viewing space. In addition to the windows, we installed ProVia Stone Siding to create a one-of-a-kind exterior. And if that wasn’t enough we also installed a custom front door by ProVia. Just another reason, Global is the Tri-state’s premier home remodeler for replacement windows, siding and roofing.

This West Chester, PA home featured an old tin metal roof that had been painted multiple times and was starting to really show its age.
