Vinyl
The lowest cost and the least upkeep. It never needs paint.
What we do
Five materials. One crew standard.
Insulated vinyl
Vinyl with a foam backing that stiffens the panel and helps it lie straighter on the wall.
Fiber cement
Cement-based board, like James Hardie, with the look of painted wood. It won't rot and it holds paint well.
Engineered wood
Treated wood-strand siding, like LP SmartSide. Real wood texture, and lighter than fiber cement.
Cedar
Natural wood clapboard or shingles. The traditional New England look, with paint or stain to keep up.
Trim, soffit & fascia
The edges are where water gets in. They're replaced and flashed with the siding, not left as they were.
Behind the siding
The part you don't see is the part that fails.
With the old siding off, we check the sheathing underneath. Anything rotted is cut out and replaced, the wall is wrapped and flashed at the windows and doors, and then the new siding goes on. You see it all on the quote before we start.
When it's time
Signs it's time to re-side.
Soft spots and moisture showing up inside mean water is already behind the siding. The longer it sits, the more sheathing and framing comes out with it.
- Siding is cracked, warped or loose
- Soft spots or rot near the bottom of the wall
- Stains or moisture inside on exterior walls
- Paint that won't hold, or siding that's faded and chalky
- Siding that's more than 25 years old

You ask, we answer
Siding questions
Which siding is best for my house?+
It depends on the house and the budget. Vinyl costs least and needs the least care; fiber cement and engineered wood look closest to painted wood; cedar is the traditional choice. We'll price the options side by side so you can compare.
Do you only install ProVia?+
No. ProVia is what we install most, and we can install any siding you choose.
Can you repair storm damage to one section?+
Often, yes. Matching the color and profile on older siding is the hard part, and we'll tell you honestly how close a match is before you decide.
What happens if there's rot behind the old siding?+
We open it up, replace the rotted sheathing, wrap the wall, then side it. It's on the quote before we start, so you know what it costs.
Can you look at my roof on the same visit?+
Yes. If the roof is due too, we'll look at both on the same visit.
