Types of Siding Options We Offer

Vinyl siding
Vinyl comes in many colors and finishes, resists weather, and needs little upkeep beyond cleaning. Typical lifespan: 20–30 years.
Fiber cement siding
Fiber cement offers a wood-like look with resistance to fire, pests, hail, and winter weather. Typical lifespan: 30–50 years; it may need repainting over time.
Wood siding
Wood suits many traditional and historic homes. Typical lifespan: 20–40 years with regular painting or staining.
Metal and composite siding
Metal and composite siding suit a contemporary look and resist rot, pests, and weather. Typical lifespan: 40–50 years or more, with little maintenance.
If insulation is a priority, ask about insulated siding options and the thermal protection they may provide.
How siding installation works
After you approve the material, style, color, and design, scheduling depends on material availability. The work then follows five stages:
Step 1 – Old Siding Removal
We remove existing siding where needed. This typically takes 2–7 days, depending on the house and material; new construction and minor repairs may skip this stage.
Step 2 – Sheathing Damage Inspection
We inspect the sheathing for rot, mold, or structural damage and quote any necessary repairs before continuing.
Step 3 – Wall Preparation
Building paper, flashing, and strapping form a rainscreen system to help protect the walls from moisture.
Step 4 – Siding Installation and Detailing
We fit the siding, trim, soffits, insect screens, and flashing, then complete needed touch-up painting. Installation typically takes 7–10 days for most homes, depending on complexity.
Step 5 – Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
We remove construction debris and complete a final walkthrough. The project manager reviews the work, warranties, and maintenance recommendations with you.
