Shake and Shingle Siding for Macomb County, MI
0% Interest Financing for 6 Months!*
A Look That Works on Michigan Homes
Many homes in Macomb County built in the 1990s are now at the stage where their original exteriors need attention. Vinyl shake and shingle siding is a great way to blend a traditional appearance with the convenience of modern materials. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and ice are real factors for any exterior cladding, and vinyl performs without the maintenance demands of real wood. This is a compelling combination for many homeowners who come to Tailor Made Windows.
What Makes Shake and Shingle Siding Different
Standard flat lap siding does its job, but it doesn't enhance a home's exterior the way shake and shingle profiles do. These profiles introduce depth and dimension that flat panels can't replicate, creating a noticeable difference from the street. Tailor Made Windows offers shake and shingle siding in Macomb County, Michigan, made of durable, low-maintenance vinyl for homeowners who want that look without the maintenance of traditional materials.
Shake profiles mimic split cedar planks with a thicker, rougher appearance that gives an exterior a handcrafted quality. The surface texture reflects light differently at different angles and times of day, adding visual interest. Shingle profiles are more refined. They’re tapered, uniform, and traditionally styled with a cleaner visual rhythm.
The choice between shake and shingle depends on your home’s architecture and the look you want to achieve. Shake suits homes with a heavier, rustic character and complements existing stone or timber elements. Shingle siding works well for cleaner, classic appearances and pairs naturally with traditional trim work. Either way, Tailor Made installs both to a high level of precision.

Featured Customer Review
Tailor Made installed a whole house North Star windows. The installation was excellent, thoroughly professional iworkmanship. The installers were careful, caught problems with damage on several windows. The damaged window frames were promptly replaced. We are pleased with the windows. Much better insulation than old metal windows. Liked additional foam insulation applied around the frames. Would highly recommend Tailor Made.

Shake Shingle Siding Options and Profiles
Vinyl shake and shingle siding offers more variety than many homeowners expect. Within these profiles, you'll find several customization options:
Exposure Depth: How much of each panel is visible affects the pattern's scale and rhythm across your exterior.
Panel Width: Wider panels read differently from narrower ones, affecting visual proportion.
Color Range: Pre-finished colors include earth tones and weathered looks that complement texture.
Profile Variation: Some of our product lines mix shake and shingle panels, allowing accent applications or gable treatments.
We also offer insulated vinyl siding, including our WX5 Energy Package, which we can install on any siding profile for heightened energy performance.

Installation: We’ll carefully install your new siding so that it looks exactly how you envisioned. Tailor Made handles all finishing work in-house.

Common Questions About Shake Shingle Siding
In climates like ours, vinyl in any profile, including shake, performs better than traditional wood. It doesn't absorb moisture the way wood does, which matters when freeze-thaw cycles stress an exterior. Vinyl won't crack, split, or rot under normal Michigan winter conditions and won't need repainting. Installation quality affects long-term performance as much as material does, so it’s important to work with an experienced siding contractor.
It’s very common to use shake and shingle siding as accents to add dimensional character without re-siding the entire exterior. Whether that approach works for your home is worth discussing during an estimate, where we can consider your home’s proportions and your desired outcomes.
We do. Qualified homeowners can take advantage of 0% interest financing for six months. You can submit our financing request form for more information if you’re interested, or ask about it during your free consultation.

I called several other companies, but Tailor Made stood out. They are a local company to me and have a solid history. When they came to install the windows, the guys showed up on time and ready to work. They were clean and very fast! I would absolutely use them again!

Had them install my windows this past summer. Every person that came to my house was professional and friendly. The installers were very efficient and did a fantastic job. The windows look great and function perfectly. They slide smooth and are easy to remove from the inside when cleaning. My house had the original aluminum frame windows from 1969, they replaced them with zero issues for a fair price. I'll definitely be using them again for future projects. Highly recommend!
