  • Partial siding replacement

    Starts at $3,000

    If part of your siding is weathered or worn, partial replacement restores your home’s look and performance without a full renovation. We replace only the affected sections, ensuring color and texture match perfectly.

    We reinforce vulnerable areas, add moisture protection, and use materials designed to resist expansion and fading. The result is a natural, unified exterior that looks refreshed – and stands strong through snow, rain, and everything in between.

Lap Siding

These long, narrow boards are usually installed horizontally to create a traditional and rustic look while providing dependable protection against the elements. They are a long-standing favorite among homeowners in Hartford.

In terms of design, this siding essentially frames the outer edges of your house, defining the lines and making your house stand out.

Shingles and Shakes

The uneven surfaces of shingles create distinctive shadow lines, which add contrast and depth to your home’s exterior. Both shingles and shakes are ideal for creating a warm rustic look and can be stained according to your color preferences.

They also add contrast and depth to your home’s walls and gables, creating a sense of coziness and warmth. The most common materials for siding shingles are cedar, fiber cement (James Hardie®), and vinyl.

Board and batten siding features wide boards with alternating wooden “battens”. Whether for a traditional or modern aesthetic, this style creates a clean, multi-dimensional look.

Because of its elongating effect, it is especially effective on high or gable walls. Board and batten can be installed in various materials, from premium natural cedar to more economical options, such as vinyl.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    We start by removing your existing siding. This usually takes 2 to 7 days, depending on the project size and the type of siding we are clearing away. If your home is a new-build or your siding only needs a minor repair, we skip this step.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection
    We inspect the underlying sheathing for any signs of rot, mold, or damage. If repairs are needed – which fortunately doesn’t happen often in our experience, there may be a small additional cost.
  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    Before installation, we protect your home by installing a rainscreen system of building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh. This crucial step safeguards your property against potential water infiltration and structural damage.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    Our experts install your siding, paying meticulous attention to details. From trim boards and soffits to insect screens and flashings, we ensure a flawless and professional finish. Any minor touch-ups required will guarantee a polished appearance. This step usually takes between 7 and 10 days.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    The final step after the touch-up is tidying up your property and removing and recycling all construction debris in accordance with the best practices in the siding industry.

FAQ

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

Are you licensed and insured for work in Connecticut?

Yes. We meet all state licensing requirements and carry full liability and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you, your property, and our installation team throughout every phase of the project.

What siding materials do you offer for Hartford homeowners?

We install James Hardie®, vinyl, engineered wood, cedar, aluminum, and mixed-material combinations. Each product performs differently in New England’s climate, and we help you compare options based on durability, maintenance, and budget.

Do you help homeowners choose siding styles, trim, and colors?

Yes. Hartford includes everything from historic Victorians to mid-century homes and new developments. We help you select materials, textures, and color combinations that complement your architecture while meeting performance needs for Connecticut’s climate.

Can you assist with permits or HOA approvals?

Definitely. While not every home requires a permit for siding, some do—especially if structural repairs or material changes are involved. Many Hartford suburbs also have active HOAs. We help with all required documentation to keep your project compliant.

How long can I expect new siding to last in Connecticut?

Depending on the material, siding can last 25 to 50 years or more. Fiber cement is especially long-lasting in areas with freeze–thaw cycles, while high-grade vinyl and engineered wood also provide strong durability.

Will you remove my old siding before installing the new materials?

In most cases, yes. Removing old siding allows us to inspect the sheathing, replace damaged sections, and install moisture barriers correctly. This is important in Connecticut, where older homes often have hidden rot or outdated insulation.

Can siding installation happen during the winter months?

In many cases, yes. Installation can continue through much of the winter, though extreme cold, heavy snow, or ice may require short pauses. We plan your project around weather conditions to stay on schedule while protecting workmanship quality.

Do you have examples of siding projects you’ve completed in the Hartford region?

Yes. We can show you a portfolio of projects throughout Hartford County, including before-and-after images and examples of popular material choices. Viewing local installations often helps homeowners feel confident about design decisions.

What if I discover an issue after the installation is finished?

Simply contact us. If the issue is covered under your warranty, we’ll inspect it and resolve it promptly. We want your siding to look great and perform reliably for years to come.
