Siding Done Right in Redford: A Fresh Start with Mastic Ply Gem Natural Slate
At Level Up Improvement, we believe a great product only performs as well as the installation behind it. That idea proved true during our recent siding replacement project in Redford, Michigan.
This small bungalow looked nice from the street, but water was sneaking behind its brand-new siding. The homeowner had the siding replaced only a few months earlier, but poor installation allowed moisture to build up. Over time, that could have caused serious damage.
The Problem: Poor Installation Let Water In
Incorrect siding installation doesn’t just affect your home’s appearance—it can destroy what’s underneath. Gaps, bad flashing, or loose panels let water get behind the siding. Once that happens, insulation, sheathing, and even framing can rot or mold.
The homeowner noticed early warning signs and called us for help. After inspecting the exterior, we found that the only real fix was a complete removal and reinstall.
The Solution: Mastic Ply Gem Vinyl Siding in Natural Slate
Our team stripped away the failing materials and started fresh. We installed Mastic Ply Gem’s D4 vinyl siding in Natural Slate, a color that gives timeless curb appeal and strong protection. The Natural Slate tone pairs perfectly with the home’s brick details, creating a clean and balanced look.
We added crisp white trim around the windows, doors, and fascia for contrast. These finishing touches made the home stand out while sealing it properly against the elements.
The Result: A Home That Looks and Performs Better
The transformation was immediate. The home now looks sharp, and it’s fully protected. The homeowner can relax knowing the siding was installed the right way this time.
Our crew double-checked every seam, joint, and corner to make sure water stays out. The difference between a rushed job and a professional installation shows in both appearance and durability.
Why Proper Siding Installation Matters

That’s why homeowners trust Level Up Improvement. Our installers follow manufacturer guidelines, understand moisture management, and take pride in precise craftsmanship. When you hire us, you get both quality materials and professional work that lasts.
