Stunning Exterior Transformation With Align Composite Siding in Mount Vernon, IA
We’re excited to highlight one of our recent full exterior upgrades completed in Mount Vernon, Iowa. This home received a top-tier makeover using Align Composite Siding, upgraded soffit and fascia, and a brand-new seamless gutter system — creating a durable, low-maintenance, and beautiful result the homeowners will enjoy for decades.
Why Align Composite Siding?
Align is quickly becoming a customer favorite — and for good reason. It delivers the authentic look of wood, the durability of composite, and the long-term stability homes in Iowa truly need.

- Installed in traditional colors for a classic, clean exterior
- Complimentary trim, corner posts, and finish details
- Full moisture and wind protection with REX Wrap Plus
- REX premium seam tape and butyl flashing for long-term performance
Align’s composite technology resists warping, cracking, swelling, and fading — ideal for our Midwest climate.
A Complete Exterior Reinforcement
Before installing the new siding, our team ensured the home had a solid base and proper weather barriers in place. We installed:
- Housewrap and flashing for improved efficiency
- Cap nails and steel starter strips for secure fastening
- All new inside and outside corner posts
- J-channel, trim boards, and finish trim
- New vents and sealants to protect every detail
Every piece was installed with precision to ensure durability, clean lines, and excellent performance.
Upgraded Soffit & Fascia
A beautiful exterior isn’t complete without fresh soffit and fascia. This project included:
- Pre-fab 6" fascia
- New aluminum trim coil
- All new J-channel
- Vented and solid aluminum soffit panels
- Complete installation and paint-matched details
These components not only enhance curb appeal but also protect the roof system and improve ventilation.
New Seamless Gutter System
To finish the transformation, we installed a full 5" seamless gutter system with:
- 160 ft of seamless gutters
- 120 ft of downspouts and extensions
- Hydro Flo leaf filters for a clog-free system
This gives the home a crisp, coordinated look while protecting the foundation from water damage.
From Hazard to Home Transformation: Safe Asbestos Removal & Stunning Siding Upgrade by Meeks Construction Some projects require more than a simple facelift — they require care, precision, and the right team to bring a home back to life safely. This recent siding replacement project is a perfect example of how Meeks Construction approaches every job: with safety first, quality always, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself. The Challenge: Aging Siding With Hidden Risks When our team inspected this home, we quickly identified that the exterior was covered in asbestos-containing transite siding, a common material used in older homes. While durable, asbestos can become dangerous when disturbed — which means a standard siding tear-off is NOT an option. This is where many homeowners feel stuck. But at Meeks Construction, we don’t just install new siding — we guide you through the entire process, including the steps needed to make your home safe again.
Another home got a major upgrade with a full roof and siding replacement in Cedar Rapids. This project combined Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles and Gentek Sequoia Select vinyl siding — giving the home a brand-new look and long-lasting protection. For this project, we installed 28 squares of Gentek Sequoia Select siding in Traditional Colors — one of the top vinyl siding products for Iowa homeowners. It offers exceptional durability, fade resistance, and timeless curb appeal. To maximize energy efficiency and moisture protection, our team also installed REX Wrap Plus housewrap, Rex premium seam tape, foil-back fanfold insulation, and aluminum trim coil, along with custom corner posts and J-channels for a polished finish. The roof received a complete overhaul with Class 3 impact-resistant Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration AR shingles, providing exceptional protection and style. The system includes SureNail Technology for secure fastening, ProEdge ridge caps, starter shingles, ice and water shield, Rhinoroof synthetic underlayment, and a ridge vent for ventilation. Custom chimney flashing and step flashing were installed to handle every detail. The homeowners now have peace of mind with Owens Corning’s Preferred Protection Limited Lifetime Warranty, installed by an authorized Preferred Contractor. From the first nail to final cleanup, every step of this project focused on quality and long-term value. The combination of Gentek siding and Owens Corning roofing not only refreshed the look of the home but also provided lasting protection against Iowa’s changing seasons. Whether you’re looking to replace your roof, refresh your siding, or improve your home’s energy efficiency, Meeks Construction delivers craftsmanship you can trust.

Durango, Iowa is known for its rolling hills, beautiful views, and of course, Sundown Mountain Ski Resort. Perched high above Dubuque, homes in this area face some of the toughest weather conditions—strong winds, heavy snow, and summer storms. Recently, our team at Meeks Construction had the privilege of replacing the roof on a large home in this stunning location. Protecting a Home in a Challenging Environment While the views from this home are incredible, the elevated location means the roof takes the brunt of Iowa’s changing seasons. Over the years, the old roof had begun to wear down, leaving the home vulnerable to leaks and storm damage. Our team stepped in to provide a solution that would not only look great but also perform for decades to come. The Meeks Approach: For this project, we installed Owens Corning shingles—our trusted choice for strength, beauty, and long-term protection. Along with upgraded underlayment and flashing, the home’s new roofing system was designed to handle whatever Iowa weather can throw at it. We focus on more than just shingles. Every nail, every seam, and every flashing detail is critical when protecting a home in such a weather-exposed area. That’s why our crew took the time to ensure this Durango home’s roof wasn’t just replaced—it was upgraded. The Result: Lasting Protection with Lasting Beauty The new roof complements the home’s exterior and enhances its curb appeal while giving the homeowners peace of mind. With strong warranties and materials built to last, they can now enjoy their home’s breathtaking views without worrying about what’s happening overhead.
Sometimes, the most serious home issues are the ones you don’t notice right away. That was the case with a recent roofing project we completed in Dubuque. From the outside, the roof looked like it had simply reached the end of its lifespan. But once we began removing the old shingles, we uncovered a hidden leak that had been slowly causing damage beneath the surface. The Hidden Danger of Roof Leaks Roof leaks aren’t always obvious. Water can seep in around vents, flashing, or worn-out shingles, traveling through layers of roofing material before showing up inside. By the time a homeowner notices stains on ceilings or walls, the damage may already be widespread. On this project, the insulation underneath the old roof had gotten wet and discolored, a clear sign of water intrusion that had gone unnoticed for some time. If left untreated, issues like this can lead to mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. A Fresh Start With a New Roof The good news? A new roof doesn’t just fix the visible problem—it gives the entire home a fresh start. For this Dubuque home, we installed durable Owens Corning shingles designed to handle Iowa’s toughest storms, along with upgraded underlayment and flashing to prevent future leaks. The result: a clean, beautiful roof that not only boosts curb appeal but also ensures the home is watertight and protected for years to come.
There’s nothing like the transformation that comes with a brand-new roof—and this recent project in one of Dubuque’s beautiful neighborhoods is proof. Our team installed Owens Corning shingles, chosen for their strength, durability, and timeless style. The subtle blend of colors complements the brick exterior perfectly, adding curb appeal while ensuring the home is protected for decades to come. From the first tear-off to the final ridge cap, every detail was completed with precision. Beyond looks, this roof is built to perform—backed by industry-leading warranties and weather-resistant technology designed to handle Iowa’s toughest storms. At Meeks Construction, we believe your home deserves both protection and beauty. This Dubuque project is just one example of how the right materials, expert installation, and attention to detail can completely elevate a home.
At Meeks Construction, we take pride in protecting Iowa homes—no matter the shape, size, or complexity. One of our recent projects took us to Coralville, where we completed a full shingle roof replacement on a duplex, delivering a clean, durable finish that’s built to withstand anything Iowa weather throws its way. 🏠 Why it Mattered: This duplex had seen years of wear. With two connected units and a shared roofline, it was critical to ensure every detail lined up perfectly—from valley flashing to ridge vents. Our team coordinated carefully to minimize disruption to the residents while ensuring both sides received the same level of attention and quality. 🔨 What We Installed: We used architectural shingles for their sleek look and long-term durability. The color was hand-picked to match the property’s siding and neighborhood aesthetic—an upgrade that not only performs but adds curb appeal. ☁️ Built for Iowa Weather: Coralville sees it all—sun, wind, hail, snow. This roof is ready for it. We made sure everything from the decking to the final ridge cap was sealed, secure, and up to code, ensuring protection for years to come. 🙌 Another Satisfied Client: We’re always humbled when homeowners choose us for something as important as their roof. Projects like this remind us why we do what we do—helping neighbors feel safe, confident, and proud of their homes.
