New England Contractor Uses AZEK Trim on His Own Home to Create a Personalized Exterior

SCRANTON, Pa., March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- What kind of car does a car dealer own?  Or, what kind of computer does a member of the Geek Squad really have?  These are questions we all may ponder before making a major purchase.  And it's no different with building materials, so when it comes to your home, consider using what the pros use on their own homes.

Matt Anderson, owner of Anderson Framing & Remodeling in East Sandwich, MA, is building a new 4,000 sq. ft. "Greek Revival meets Italianate" farmhouse for himself and his family, using truckloads of AZEK Trim and AZEK Mouldings on the exterior.  While Matt handles regular construction jobs during the week with his ten-person crew, on the weekend his work focuses on his new home.  

"As an exterior specialist, I know what products perform and endure the tough New England winters, so I wouldn't use anything else but AZEK on my home," said Anderson. And, he remarked that everything is bigger and chunkier with a farmhouse, including the custom 10-inch cornerboards that were built onsite. "It amazes everyone that we were able to mill this ourselves right in the field," said Anderson.  "The AZEK was very easy to work with and turned out great."

Part of the AZEK Building Products family of cellular pvc products, AZEK Trim and Mouldings are low-maintenance wood replacement products and AZEK has been the leading brand of premium, exterior trim since it redefined the category more than a decade ago.  

Anderson also selected AZEK products for the door and window casings, post wraps, skirts and water tables.  For specialty windows, AZEK Sheet, which comes in sizes up to 4X20 ft., came in handy for cutting out oval window trim with no seams.  And he chose AZEK Beadboard for a wainscot look under the soffits and rake build-outs, extending 12 or 14 inches, topped with 6-inch crown mouldings.  The crew was able to create over-sized column bases by gluing AZEK boards together and extending them out a foot and a half.  "With AZEK we can go big—we are limitless on the sizes of these pieces," he said.  "And that's what inspires creativity, so that my farmhouse can have a mix of combined styles that make it truly my own."
