Overcash Siding is a locally owned siding contractor serving Shorewood Hills, WI, a small village near UW-Madison with distinctive early-20th-century homes, from our De Forest base. Since 1978 we have worked across the greater Madison area, and we offer free estimates here.
Shorewood Hills is a small, leafy village tucked against the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus and the shore of Lake Mendota, known for its housing stock built largely between the 1920s and 1940s. Those early-20th-century homes have real architectural character, and they call for a contractor who understands older construction and works with the care such properties deserve.
From our De Forest shop, Shorewood Hills is a drive south into the near-west side of Madison. We approach the village's historic homes thoughtfully, taking care to preserve original character and detailing while upgrading the durability and performance of exteriors that have weathered many decades of Wisconsin seasons.
Homes of this era often need more than a simple re-side. Generations of freeze-thaw, wind off nearby Lake Mendota, and long-term moisture exposure frequently leave wood siding, trim, soffit, and fascia in need of real repair, sometimes with hidden damage behind the panels. We find and correct those issues so the work protects these distinctive homes for years to come.
Siding Care for Early-20th-Century Homes
Shorewood Hills' consistent stock of 1920s-40s homes gives the village its distinctive feel, and re-siding one calls for respect for that era's architecture. We work to preserve original character and detailing while upgrading protection, and where appropriate we recommend materials like fiber cement that offer a traditional look with far greater durability against Wisconsin weather.
Homes this age almost always carry some hidden wear behind the siding, so we check carefully for moisture damage and rot and correct it as part of the work. As a locally owned business, we give honest guidance and free estimates to owners of these historic homes.
