Our Expert Siding Solutions for Residential and Commercial Cladding

  • Full house siding replacement

    Starts at $15,000

    Replacing all of your home’s siding is a chance to restore both its appearance and long-term protection. Old or damaged panels can allow moisture to seep in, affecting insulation and energy efficiency. A full siding replacement gives your exterior a renewed finish that resists humidity and changing temperatures while elevating curb appeal. Every detail is handled with precision so your home stays comfortable and protected year-round.

    Our process emphasizes professionalism and clear communication from start to finish. We inspect the full exterior, discuss material options, and keep you informed at every stage. Raleigh’s humid climate calls for durable, well-sealed materials, so we recommend siding that resists mold, warping, and fading. You’ll appreciate the care we take in ensuring each panel is perfectly installed, giving your home a clean, polished look that holds up beautifully over time.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    First, we remove your home’s existing siding. This can take anywhere between two and seven days, depending on the size of the project and the type of siding. Some types, such as vinyl or cedar, can be removed quickly, while stucco and stone may take longer.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection
    Next, the existing sheathing is inspected for rot, mold, or other damage. Fortunately, most homes in Raleigh do not need sheathing repair. However, if required, this could result in a small additional cost. Of course, once the scope of any additional work is determined, we will provide an estimate before proceeding.
  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    To protect the walls from intense humidity and significant rainfall, the next step is to do a house wrap. Building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh are used for this purpose. Optionally, we can install a rain screen, which optimizes airflow in the walls and significantly extends the siding’s lifespan. This is especially important in Raleigh’s humid summers. Siding with a protective rain screen can last 5-10 years longer than siding without one.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    Moving on, we install your new siding, including trim boards around windows, doors, soffits, overcap corners, and fascia boards. We also attach insect screens, flashings, dryer vents, and light fixture boxes and apply touch-up paint to the nails, ensuring they match the color of the siding exactly to create a seamless, professional finish.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    Our final step is cleaning up your property to leave it looking immaculate. We remove and recycle all construction debris, adhering to all best practices in today’s siding industry.

FAQ

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

Are you licensed and insured to work in North Carolina?

Yes. We carry all required state licensing along with full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects both your home and our installation team.

What factors influence siding installation costs in the Raleigh area?

Pricing depends on your home’s size, layout, and the siding material you choose. Homes in the Triangle often have multiple rooflines, porches, gables, and architectural features that can affect labor. Removal of old siding, repairs due to humidity, and any upgrades to moisture barriers or insulation can also impact cost.

Why do you need to see my home before giving a siding estimate?

Raleigh homes range from historic houses near downtown to modern construction in areas like Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest. An on-site visit lets us evaluate the current siding, look for moisture or storm-related issues, measure accurately, and assess the structure beneath. This allows us to provide a precise, honest estimate tailored to your home.

Can you help if storm damage might qualify for an insurance claim?

Absolutely. Raleigh and the surrounding areas experience strong thunderstorms, high winds, and occasional hail. If your siding has storm-related damage, we can inspect it, document what we find, and help guide you through the insurance claim process.

How long does the siding installation process usually take?

Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your chosen materials, the size of your home, and seasonal weather. Summer storms or heavy rains may shift parts of the schedule, but we keep you updated throughout.

Can I see examples of your siding work in the Raleigh area?

Yes. We maintain a gallery of before-and-after photos from completed projects throughout Raleigh and the surrounding towns. These examples make it easier to compare materials and visualize color combinations.

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

Yes. Whether your home is traditional, craftsman, brick-accented, or ultra-modern, we’ll guide you through material options, color palettes, and trim details that complement Raleigh’s architectural character and perform well in the local climate.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Not necessarily. If we have access to the exterior, we can complete the work while you’re at work or running errands. We’ll contact you if we discover anything unexpected behind the existing siding.

What kind of maintenance will my siding need?

Different siding materials require different levels of upkeep. Once you choose your siding, we’ll provide customized maintenance recommendations to help it perform well.
