Siding in Columbus and across Ohio

Siding replacement that addresses what is behind the cladding, not just the cladding. Water-resistive barrier, flashing and trim detail are where siding jobs succeed or fail.

What goes wrong behind siding

Most of the rot we open up is not a siding failure. It is a flashing detail at a window head, a kickout missing where a roof meets a wall, or a water-resistive barrier that was lapped the wrong way. Replacing the cladding without correcting those puts a new face on the same water path.

Fiber cement

James Hardie products hold up to Ohio freeze-thaw cycling better than most vinyl, and they carry a fire rating vinyl cannot. They are also heavier and far less forgiving of sloppy fastening and clearance. Gap at grade, gap at roof lines and correct fastener depth are not negotiable details.

Insulated vinyl

Insulated vinyl is a legitimate choice on the right home and a meaningful upgrade over builder-grade hollow-back panel for impact resistance and wall stiffness. It is not a substitute for wall insulation, and we will not sell it as one.

FAQ

Siding questions

Can siding be replaced in winter?

Vinyl becomes brittle in deep cold and expansion behavior changes, so we schedule around temperature. Fiber cement has more winter flexibility. We will tell you if your project should wait.

Do you replace the wrap underneath?

Yes. Siding replacement includes inspecting and correcting the water-resistive barrier and flashings. That is the part that actually keeps water out.
