Siding
Seals the house up and changes how it reads from the road — installed by the same crews, to the same clean-up standard, as our roofs.
Crews as our roofing work
Mobilization with a roof
Years in NE Ohio
More than cosmetic
Tired siding lets weather at the sheathing, and in a lake-effect climate that matters. We address rotted sheathing and trim first, then install the new siding as a sealed system — house wrap, flashing details, and trim done properly rather than caulked over. The result reads better from the road and, more importantly, keeps water out of the wall assembly for decades.
Anyone can nail vinyl over a wall. The job is what happens first: pulling the old cladding, finding the soft sheathing around windows and at the base of walls, replacing it, wrapping the house, and flashing every penetration so water that gets behind the siding — some always does — drains out instead of soaking in. That prep work is invisible on day one and is the entire difference at year fifteen.
Siding and roof in one project
Roof and siding together is the whole shell of the house handled in one schedule — one crew, one mobilization, one clean-up standard, and flashing details where roof meets wall done as a single system instead of two contractors pointing at each other’s work. It’s the biggest version of the Complete Exterior Package and the one where bundling saves the most.
The Kingpin standard, on the wall
The same crews that put eight to ten roofs a week on Northeast Ohio houses do our siding, with the same rules: property tarped, debris hauled the same day, magnets run over lawn and drive, foreman walkthrough before anyone leaves. And the same 10-year workmanship warranty stands behind the installation.
Signs your siding is failing
Panels cracking, cupping or rattling in wind; paint peeling inside on exterior walls; caulk lines multiplying around windows; green staining that comes back a season after washing; and any softness when you press near the bottom of a wall. Northeast Ohio freeze-thaw pries open every gap a little further each winter — the free inspection tells you whether it’s a repair, a wall, or the whole house.
Curb appeal is real money
Siding is 60 percent of what the street sees, and appraisers and buyers price it accordingly — tired, chalked cladding discounts a house before anyone rings the bell, while crisp new siding with clean trim lines is among the highest-recovery exterior projects going. We help choose color and profile against your roof and your street: the goal is the best-kept house on the block, not the loudest one.
How a siding project runs
Day one strips the old cladding and opens the walls — the honest moment when sheathing condition stops being a guess. Soft wood is replaced at the per-sheet price already in your quote. House wrap and flashing details go on next, done in metal and tape rather than caulk and optimism; then the siding itself, trim, and the same clean-up standard as our roofs: debris hauled, magnets run, foreman walkthrough. Most homes run two to four days, and the written schedule says which.
What siding costs
Wall area, prep work and material grade set the number. Single walls and storm-damage sections are modest jobs; whole-house replacement on a typical Northeast Ohio two-story runs well into five figures, itemised line by line so you can see where every dollar sits. Insurance-involved wind damage gets the same photo-documentation treatment as our roof work. Free inspection, exact written number in 24 hours.
Matching, repairs and partial walls
Not every siding call is the whole house. Wind strips a wall, a falling limb cracks a corner, a woodpecker develops opinions — and the question becomes matching. We track down compatible profiles and colors for partial work wherever the market still carries them, tell you honestly when fade means a visible patch, and lay out the walls-versus-whole-house math so an insurance repair does not accidentally buy a mismatched home.
Trim, soffit and fascia — the finish that makes it
Siding jobs are won or lost at the edges. Window and door trim, corner boards, soffit and fascia wrap — the details your eye reads as ‘crisp’ from the street — take as much of our install time as the field panels, and it shows. Aluminum-wrapped fascia and vented soffit go in as part of the system where the existing wood is tired, ventilation is preserved rather than sealed shut, and every trim line gets the same magnetic-sweep clean-up as our roofs.
Siding and your insurance
Wind and hail claims cover more siding damage than homeowners realize — including full-wall or whole-elevation replacement where matching discontinued product proves impossible, in many policies. We document siding damage with the same adjuster-ready discipline as our roof claims: elevation photos, damage close-ups, and a written scope in carrier language. Bring us the storm before you bring the carrier a guess; the documentation is free with the inspection and often decides the claim.
Start with the walls you can see
Walk the house once and look for the signs — cracked panels, chalky film on your palm, caulk lines multiplying, softness low on the walls. Then call (440) 363-1490 or send the form: the inspection is free, covers every elevation with photos, and the itemised written quote lands within 24 hours whether the answer is one storm-damaged wall or the whole shell. Same crews as our roofs, same clean-up standard, same 10-year workmanship warranty. And if the walls pass the once-over clean, the inspection still earns its visit — a written all-clear with photos is the cheapest peace of mind on the house. Either way the visit ends with something in writing — a quote worth comparing or an all-clear worth keeping — and the decision stays entirely on your side of the table.
Questions.
Both. Wind-damaged panels and single walls are real jobs for us; full replacement is quoted when the system as a whole is done.
Quality vinyl and engineered options suited to lake-effect weather, over proper house wrap and flashing. Colour and profile matched to the house and the street.
Yes — that’s the Complete Exterior Package. One crew, one schedule, and the roof-to-wall flashing details done as a single system.
It depends on wall area, prep work and material grade. Free inspection first, then one exact written number within 24 hours — same as every quote we write.
Most single-family homes run two to four days depending on size and how much sheathing repair we find.
Sometimes, and the quote budgets a per-sheet price for it up front — so if we find it, you already know the cost. It gets photographed, replaced, and covered properly.
