Siding contractors in Columbus, OH - working with siding planks, panels, shingles

Lap Siding

Also known as lap or clapboard, siding planks are the most widely recognized style of siding. They are used primarily as horizontal siding in which the planks overlap one another. However, you can embrace creativity by installing it vertically as well.

Typically seen on traditional homes, it can be made to look more contemporary by eliminating trim from the design. It’s available in a thrilling array of colors and finishes.

Shingles and Shakes

Add warmth and contrast with shingle siding or shake siding. You’ll recognize them on Victorian-style homes or charming New England Cape Cods. It can be used to create decorative accents or as the main feature of your house when combined with other siding materials. While cedar is the traditional material for shingle siding, it’s also available in modern materials such as fiber cement or vinyl, delivering a natural and cozy aesthetic.

While siding shingles have a smooth finish and edge, shake siding is more rugged, with a raw, uneven edge and varying texture on their surface.

Board & Batten

Panel siding consists of four-foot-wide sheets varying in length, starting at eight feet. You can achieve a minimalist design with custom-cut panels, which offer both horizontal and vertical options.

They are available in an impressive range of colors and textures, including a wood grain finish. For a decorative modern farmhouse look, try board and batten siding, which is joined together by thin vertical strips to cover the seams.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step

Old Siding Removal

The first step is removing any existing siding on your home. This will provide you with the long-lasting protection you deserve. Depending on the scale of the project, the removal of existing siding generally takes 2 to 7 days. This step is skipped if there is no old siding to be removed.
2 step

Sheathing Damage Inspection

After the old siding is removed, we inspect sheathing for any rotten parts or damage. If needed, repairs may incur an additional cost, though most homes do not require them.
3 step

Preparation of the Wall for Siding

The next step in the siding installation process involves adding a rainscreen. This involves the use of building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh. While optional, a rainscreen can greatly extend the lifespan of the siding by allowing airflow in the walls. Siding with a protective rainscreen can last up to 10 years longer compared to siding without one.
4 step

Siding Installation and Touch-ups

Once all the prep work is completed, your new siding and trim are set in place. If the siding has not yet been colored, this is the time for painting and taking care of other work such as reinstalling shutters. Installation takes 7 to 10 days on average, with meticulous attention to detail. Trim boards, insect screens, and touch-up paint are applied for a flawless finish.
5 step

Waste Removal and Clean Up

After the work has been completed, we will do a final cleanup, leaving you with a spotless yard. We remove all remaining old materials from the last day’s work and conduct a final inspection, clearing away any nails, dust, and debris from all your outdoor spaces. Rest assured, we adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring a tidy property and proper recycling of construction debris.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

What factors affect the cost of siding installation?

Cost depends on several elements: the size and layout of your home, the material you choose, labor complexity, removal of old siding, underlying damage that needs repair, insulation upgrades, and the number of architectural features such as gables, bump-outs, and windows.

Are you licensed and insured in Ohio?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in Ohio, which includes liability coverage and workers’ compensation. This protects both your property and our installation team from start to finish.

Do I need an in-person consultation before getting a quote?

Homes in Columbus vary widely – from older houses in German Village to newer builds in Dublin and New Albany – so an in-person consultation helps us get accurate measurements and evaluate the condition of your current siding, sheathing, and trim. This ensures you receive a precise estimate and helps prevent unexpected issues once the project begins.

What is the typical timeline from consultation to project completion?

Most siding projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on home size, material availability, weather, and the degree of prep work required. We provide a clear schedule so you always know what to expect.

Can you help with design suggestions, colors, and profiles?

Absolutely. We help you choose colors, textures, trims, and profiles that fit your home’s style and neighborhood – whether you want something modern for a new-build community or something classic to match Columbus’s historic districts.

Will I need to be home while the installation is happening?

No, as long as we have exterior access. We keep you updated throughout the project and only need to coordinate with you if something unexpected is found behind your old siding.

Do you remove the old siding before installing new material?

Yes. Removing old siding allows us to inspect the underlying structure, replace damaged sheathing, and install moisture barriers. This ensures your new siding performs properly and lasts longer.

What siding materials do you install?

We install James Hardie® fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, cedar, aluminum, and mixed-material styles. Each material has different strengths, and we’ll explain which options work best for your home and budget.
