Astro U.P. – Rocking Remodels since 1987!

 

You can rock your stereo with good tunes, you can rock your baby with a rocking chair, and you can rock your remodels with Astro U.P!

Since 1987, Astro U.P. in Rock, MI has been helping homeowners improve the exterior look of their homes with new siding, windows, doors, roofs, decks, porches and more.  

Here’s just some of the recent transformations we’re proud to have helped with.

 

Congratulations to Adam and Kelly Flagstadt, who won our 2021 Rock Your Remodel Contest with this transformation.

2021 remodel home

This remodel features Mastic Carvedwood•44® Vinyl Lap Siding. A popular choice for “Up North” living, the siding is designed to resist dents and withstand winds up to 178 miles per hour. Not only is this vinyl siding strong, it’s beautiful!  Choose from an assortment of designer-inspired colors and find the one that suits you! Will it be Natural Slate as shown here of perhaps, Red Brick or Rock Harbor? Oh, and did we mention it’s easy to install and virtually maintenance free? I believe we just did! 

They also chose Waudena Exterior Doors in this 2021 remodel. Known for producing high quality products using American-made components whenever possible, Waudena offers a wide array of doors in many different styles and colors to complement any décor. Remember, it’s not just a door, it’s a welcome into your home.

 

Another stunning entry in our most recent Rock Your Remodel Contest is Tom Pepin, who not only replaced his siding, but added a porch! 

2021 Remodel before & After

In this 2021 remodel, Tom went with a more rustic look by replacing his traditional vinyl siding with Foundry Specialty Staggered Shake Siding. The look of cedar with the durability and ease of vinyl, yes please! 

For the porch, Tom chose TimberTech, the leading manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing. TimberTech offers 3 unique decking lines, Azek, Pro, and Edge and multiple railing options, too!  Astro U.P. is ready to help you find the right one for your project! Want to do what Tom did? Just come in and say I want the Pepin and we’ll take it from there!

We can’t possibly do a blog about Rocking Your Remodel without mentioning our 2020 winner, Brett Blackburn.

2021 Rock your remodel winner

The star in this remodel is engineered wood siding by LP SmartSide, it offers the look of real wood but is built to withstand impact better than vinyl or fiber-cement siding. Brett chose 8” Beige siding with Oyster Shell accents and Beige trim for the win!

This 2020 Rock Your Remodel entry came with a note from the homeowners saying, “We are entering the before and after remodel that Astro U.P. is having. We’ve had so many compliments on our remodel, what the heck! New roof, siding, and 22 windows!”  With this transformation, we are betting you’ll be getting compliments for many years to come.

2020 home remodel

    

 

This remodel included the replacement of 22 windows with premium quality, energy efficient Alliance Vinyl Windows. Great choice! Not only do Alliance Vinyl Window Systems look great, they are very low maintenance and save you money on heating and cooling bills. And with Astro U.P., you are sure to get the right fit with your replacement windows every time! 

 

As you can tell by the before images, the siding on this home was in pretty rough shape! Forget sanding and painting and install Vinyl siding instead! Like the Flagstadt’s, Kerry chose Natural Slate Mastic Carvedwood Siding but complimented it with Foundry Specialty 7” Staggered Shakes in Colonial Slate. Talk about a WOW Factor!

 

So, are you thinking of rocking your remodel next year? It’s never too early to start planning! For the best products, tons of knowledge and happy, smiling faces come and see us at locally owned Astro U.P. in Rock!
