The pro team at Renew Home Exteriors can transform your home into everything you want it to be
By Patricia Nugent
As Shakespeare once famously quipped… “What’s in a name?”
If you ask Steve and Kipp Yoak of Renew Home Exteriors that question, the answer would be a no-brainer: everything.
Steve founded the three-generation, family-run company in 2020 as a natural evolution of his family’s extensive background in the home renovation industry. He brought on his uncle, Kipp, in October of 2021 to lend his expertise and help grow the business.
“Our passion lies in renewing a home’s exterior, transforming it like new again,” says Kipp. “The strategy is simple: We work only with hand-picked, high-performance brands of roofing materials, replacement windows, vinyl siding and doors, installed by highly trained and talented technicians.”
Requiring their employees to be trained and certified by the AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) is just one of the many things that separates Renew from other companies.
“Trust is integral to our livelihood,” says Steve. “We want customers to be delighted with our work and tell their friends and family. Once we do one job for someone, we want to be the person they think of first when they need something else. We stand behind our customer-friendly warranties.”
The relationship starts with a free, no-pressure, in-home consultation. Homeowners sit down and speak with a knowledgeable salesperson who shows them samples and takes measurements. By the end of the consultation, which usually takes about an hour, he or she gives them a price estimate.
Transforming your Home with Siding
“This time of year, with graduation and summer parties coming up, people are looking for ways to improve their home’s exterior,” says Kipp. “Summer is also a time for homeowners to decide to sell their home, and a boost in curb appeal could mean bigger dollars.”
Nothing makes your place look like new as quickly as replacing siding. Kipp reports they offer products in more than 50 colors and selections that work with any architectural style, including high-definition vinyl veneers that mimic the look of stacked stone or cedar wood shake.”
He notes that siding is more than just a pretty face. It also insulates your home and saves you energy and money.
“After removing old siding, we wrap a home in energy-saving polar wrap,” he explains. “This adds an extra R-value rating, makes sure the walls come out perfectly level, provides a moisture barrier to guard against mildew, and prevents insects and bees from entering the home.”
The Reviews Are In
Whatever exterior renovation you need—from triple-paned replacement windows custom-built to fit your home, to asphalt and metal roof replacement, siding and patio and entry doors—the cousins follow a credo of treating customers like family.
Very few firms can boast a 100-percent five-star rating from online testimonials. But Renew can. Here’s what folks are saying…
After having his windows replaced last month, Donald Green gave the company his highest recommendation: “Steve and his team were amazing to deal with. From the initial call to the field measure and then to the installation, everything was on point. Windows look great! Installer was very passionate about his work.”
First-time homeowner Derek Anders was equally impressed: “Very kind and professional salesman. They did not pressure me at all and gave me a fair price from the start. The roof now looks amazing and my yard was immaculate when they finished. No nails or debris found at all. I will be using them when I do my windows in the spring,”
