Replacing your home’s siding can boost your home’s curb appeal, improve its insulation, and cause neighbor envy.

Here’s our siding installation process:


  • Materials delivered, usually a day or two before the project is scheduled to start.
  • Remove old siding and underlayment
  • Inspect sheathing underneath for any rot or decay and replace as needed
  • Install house wrap underlayment & tape seams as required by code
  • Nail in J-channels
  • Install new siding (woo, best step!) to manufacturer specifications
  • Custom cut edges and corners


Finally, we clean up the yard of debris and nails and haul it all away, leaving a clean yard and new, stellar siding on your home for your neighbors to ogle over.
