Modular Mountain Retreat Project

Reviewing the Modular Home's Exterior Video

Bob Vila tours the modular home project in the Berkshire Hills in Western Massachusetts. Bob reviews the exterior skin products on the house. Starting with the multi-textural roof composed of environmentally friendly composite shingle shakes from Enviroshake, and with center portions constructed from carbonized steel from Englert Roofing. The siding is a Cedar Valley Shingle’s two-by-eight Western Red Cedar shingle panels and a lightweight Cultured Stone treatment from Owens Corning on the lower portion of the home and chimney wrap. Completing the skin are the Pella double-hung Architect Series six-over-one windows and a board and batten look created with Georgia Pacific’s Catawba engineered wood siding. On the back of the home, ChoiceDek from Weyerhaeuser completes the home’s environmentally friendly eye pleasing exterior.
