We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step

Old Siding Removal

Our team removes the old siding by taking out old nails while ensuring your home’s sheathing remains intact. Depending on your project’s size and existing siding, this step takes 2 to 7 days. If there’s no old siding, we skip this part.
2 step

Sheathing Damage Inspection

We check your sheathing for any damage like rot or mold that may only be visible once the old siding is removed. No repairs are needed in most cases, but if they are, we’ll explain why and explore the options with you.
3 step

Preparation of the Wall for Siding

After inspecting and repairing sheathing (if needed), we prep your walls with building paper, flashings, and strapping. These steps safeguard your home from issues with water humidity.
4 step

Siding Installation and Touch-ups

Installing new siding typically takes 7 to 10 days, depending on your chosen siding type and home size. We install trim boards, insect screens, flashings, and more to perfect the look. Our touch-up paint ensures an impeccably polished finish.
5 step

Waste Removal and Clean Up

We’re all about leaving your property in better condition than we found it. At the project’s start, we place a recycling bin on-site to keep things tidy while we work. And before leaving, we clean up every bit of construction debris and recycle it responsibly.

FAQ

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

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

An on-site visit allows us to evaluate your home’s layout, exposure to sun and wind, and the condition of the existing exterior. In coastal areas like Wilmington, moisture and salt air can cause hidden issues that aren’t visible from the street. Seeing the home in person helps us provide an accurate estimate and proper recommendations.

What siding materials work best for homes near the coast?

Fibre cement, engineered wood, quality vinyl, and select metal options all perform well when properly installed. Fibre cement is often chosen for its moisture resistance and stability, while vinyl remains a low-maintenance, budget-friendly option. We help you compare materials based on performance and upkeep.

Do you remove the existing siding before installing new siding?

In most cases, yes. Removing old siding allows us to inspect the sheathing for moisture damage, rot, or insect issues – concerns that are more common in humid climates. This ensures the new siding is installed on a solid, healthy surface.

How long does a siding installation usually take?

Most siding projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on home size, material choice, weather, and any prep or repair work required. We provide a clear timeline before starting and keep you informed throughout the process.

How does Wilmington’s coastal climate affect siding performance?

Wilmington experiences high humidity, strong sun, heavy rain, and occasional storm activity. Siding here must resist moisture absorption, fading, warping, and corrosion. Choosing materials designed for coastal environments is key to long-term durability.

Are you licensed and insured to work in North Carolina?

Yes. We carry the appropriate North Carolina licensing, liability insurance, and workers’ compensation coverage to protect both your home and our installation team.

Is siding installation possible year-round?

Generally, yes. Wilmington’s mild winters allow for installation during most months. Severe storms or extreme heat may cause short delays, but we schedule carefully to maintain quality and safety.

What kind of maintenance will my siding require?

Maintenance varies by material. Vinyl typically requires occasional cleaning to remove salt residue and pollen, while fibre cement may need repainting after many years. We provide clear care guidelines once your siding is selected.
