Why exterior health matters more than you think When it comes to protecting a home, siding is one of the hardest-working but most overlooked components. It shields the structure from moisture, insulates against harsh temperatures, improves curb appeal, and directly impacts long-term property value.

Your deck is an extension of your home — a place for morning coffee, summer BBQs, family gatherings, and quiet evenings under the stars. But like anything exposed to the elements year-round, your deck won’t last forever.

When you invest in new siding, you’re not just upgrading your home’s appearance — you’re protecting it from Michigan’s harsh weather, moisture, pests, and long-term structural damage. One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How long will my siding actually last?

Plainwell, MI — Hutcherson Construction is honored to announce that we have once again been recognized as one of West Michigan’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).

Michigan seasons are no joke. From heavy snow and ice to humid summers and lake-effect storms, your home’s exterior needs to stand up to some serious weather changes. Siding is not just about curb appeal—it’s your home’s armor against the elements.

There’s never been a better time to upgrade your outdoor living space with a brand-new deck. At Hutcherson Construction, we believe a deck is more than just boards and railings—it’s where memories are made.

Updating the exterior color of your home is one of the most impactful changes you can make. The right palette can boost curb appeal, reflect your personality, and even increase resale value. But with so many choices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Whether you're stringing up twinkling lights for the holidays or turning your yard into a haunted house for Halloween, decorating your home is a fun way to get into the spirit of the season.
