We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    We begin by carefully removing your current siding while preserving the underlying sheathing. This typically takes between 2 and 7 days, depending on the size of your home and the type of siding. Vinyl and cedar come off quickly, while stucco or stone need more time.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    We check for damage such as rot, or mold. If repairs are required, we provide an estimate upfront so you can make an informed decision. While most Southside homes are in good condition, this step ensures your new siding is installed on a solid, problem-free foundation.

  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    To protect your home from moisture and extend the lifespan of your siding, we install a rainscreen (optional but highly recommended), along with building paper, flashings, and strapping or mesh. Given our humid climate and high rainfall, this added protection can help prevent water damage and add up to 10 years to your siding’s lifespan.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    We install the siding, trim around windows and doors, and apply touch-up paint to nails so they blend seamlessly. Insect screens, flashings, and fixtures are also installed. This typically takes between 7 and 10 days, depending on the type of siding and any custom finishes.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    With installation complete, we handle all clean-up, ensuring debris is recycled whenever possible. Your property is left spotless.

FAQ

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

What should I expect in terms of project timing?

Most siding projects take 2 to 4 weeks from consultation to completion. Seasonal rain, extreme heat, or unexpected repairs behind old siding can influence timing, but we keep you updated throughout the process.

Why is an in-person inspection necessary before quoting my siding project?

Richmond has a mix of historic homes in The Fan, classic colonials in the West End, and modern builds in Midlothian and Glen Allen. An on-site inspection helps us evaluate existing siding, check for moisture damage or wood rot, take precise measurements, and understand your home’s unique structure. This ensures your estimate is accurate and tailored.

Are you licensed and insured in Georgia?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to operate in Georgia. This includes liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect you, your home, and our team.

How much does siding installation typically cost?

Pricing depends on your home’s size, design complexity, and chosen material. Porch columns, brick transitions, gables, and multiple rooflines can influence labor. Removal of old siding and repairs due to humidity or storms may also affect the total cost.

Do you assist with HOAs or required permits?

Yes. Many Richmond – area communities—including Short Pump, Midlothian, Henrico, and Chesterfield – have HOA rules that cover exterior materials and color choices. We help prepare documentation and submit samples, and we also assist with any city or county permits if needed.

Can you show me examples of siding work you’ve completed in Richmond?

Yes. We have a gallery of before-and-after photos from projects across the Richmond region. Reviewing them can help you compare materials and visualize how different colors and styles look on homes similar to yours.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the exterior, work can continue while you’re away. If we uncover any hidden issues once the old siding is removed, we’ll notify you immediately before moving forward.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Virginia?

Yes. We maintain all required state licensing and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect both your home and our installation team.

Do you remove old siding before installing the new material?

In most cases, yes. A proper tear-off lets us inspect the sheathing and framing for hidden moisture issues or rot and ensures the new siding is installed on a solid foundation.
