Redoing Wooden Frame House Facade

I am looking to renovate the facade (front and back )of my brick bottom/wooden frame house in Brooklyn.?? I currently have asphalt shingle siding 0n the front and vinyl siding in the rear.?? Do you have any recommendations for an excellent persons/companies that have experience: 1) redoing the facade of a frame house with wooden shingles or wooden clapboard: check out the wooden shingles at this site:?? http://woodenhouseproject.com/index.php/tag/greenpoint/ 2) installing a cornice on the roof line (the original was taken down years ago) 3) making a wooden awning (or door canopie/small peaked roof) that overhangs the front door 4) replacing the existing non-original iron fence with something prettier (salvaged or hearkening back to the original that I can see in the 1940’s picture of the house. Thanks in advance!

TA carpentry did our front a few years ago- they insulated, sheathed and installed cedar shingles and rebuild our cornice. Came out really nice, and they were good to work with, but they were not cheap. We liked them so much we are having them do the back this summer to do the back of our house.
