What Homeowners Ask Us Most
How do I know if my siding needs to be replaced, not just repaired?
If you’re seeing widespread fading, warping, rot, or rising energy bills, it’s likely time for a full replacement. We offer free assessments to help you make the right call.
What types of siding do you offer for replacements?
We specialize in fiber cement (James Hardie™), natural cedar, and high-performance vinyl — all installed to manufacturer specs and matched to your home’s architectural style.
Will you remove the old siding first?
Yes. We do a full tear-off to inspect the underlying structure, replace damaged sheathing, and ensure your new siding system is properly installed from the ground up.
How long does a typical siding replacement take?
Most full-home replacements take 3–5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your home. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin — and stick to it.
Can I change the look or color of my home during replacement?
Absolutely. This is a great time to modernize your exterior. We offer design guidance and siding profiles in a wide range of colors, textures, and trim accents to match your vision.
