Siding work in Bloomfield Hills
Shade and leaf litter keep north and east elevations damp far longer after rain than an open lot ever stays. That shows up as organic staining, as growth in the seams, and as gutters that fill faster than anyone expects. Siding here is rarely a standalone job — we look at the roof edge, the gutters and the tree line in the same visit, because ignoring them means the new wall gets the same treatment as the old one.
3G Home Exteriors is family-owned and has operated out of Fraser since 2011. Bloomfield Hills sits in Oakland County, which is inside the three-county area we cover every week, so a Bloomfield Hills job is a short run for our crew rather than an out-of-area trip we have to schedule around.

Completed 3G projects from across Macomb and Oakland counties. At the inspection we can show you examples closer to your own street.
What we replace, and what we leave alone
Not every siding call ends in a full replacement. On a house where the panels are sound but the trim has failed, the honest answer is trim and soffit work, not a whole elevation. We inspect the wall behind the finish before quoting: house wrap, sheathing condition, window flashing and any staining that suggests water has been getting in for a while.
- Full siding replacement — tear-off to the sheathing, repairs where needed, then new vinyl or fiber cement
- Siding repair — cracked, loose or storm-damaged panels matched as closely as the original allows
- Soffit, fascia and trim — often the real source of the problem, and checked against attic ventilation
- Wrap and flashing corrections — the part nobody sees and the part that decides how long the new siding lasts
Vinyl or fiber cement for a Bloomfield Hills home
Vinyl is the default for most of the houses we side, and for good reason: it handles Michigan freeze-thaw well, it is the better value on a straightforward elevation, and a good installer can make it look far better than its reputation. Fiber cement earns its premium on homes where the detail matters — deeper shadow lines, wider trim, a finish that holds paint.
We quote both when both make sense. Full detail on each is on our vinyl siding and trim page and our Hardie board siding page.
Siding is part of the exterior, not a separate job
Water that gets behind siding usually did not start at the siding. It started at a roof edge, a gutter that overflows, or a downspout that dumps against the wall. We quote the whole water path because fixing one part and ignoring the rest is how the same problem comes back in three years.
- Seamless gutters — sized from the actual roof, not a standard
- Residential roofing — roof edge detailing that keeps water off the wall
- Exterior drainage — where the water lands once it leaves the downspout
- Exterior painting — for homes staying with the existing surface
Questions we get from Bloomfield Hills homeowners
Why does one side of my house look so much worse?
Shade. North and east elevations under tree cover stay wet longer, and organic growth follows moisture. It is not a material defect and cleaning is not always the answer.
Should I deal with the gutters at the same time?
On a heavily treed lot, usually yes. Overflowing gutters soak the wall below them, and replacing siding under a gutter that still overflows just resets the clock.
Do large properties cost more per square foot?
Not per square foot, but staging and access on a big wooded parcel take longer, and that shows in the scope honestly rather than as a vague allowance.
