We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
We carefully remove any existing siding to avoid damaging the sheathing beneath it. The timeline for this stage depends on your home’s size and the type of siding being removed, but it usually takes between 2 and 7 days. If your home doesn’t have old siding, we proceed directly to the inspection stage.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
The underlying sheathing is meticulously inspected for signs of rot, mold, or damage. Any issues are addressed immediately to provide a solid, long-lasting base for your new siding. Fortunately, most homes do not need repairs at this stage.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
Next, we install protective layers—the building paper, flashings, and strapping or mesh—to shield your home from water damage and the elements for decades.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
With the walls prepped, your new siding goes up. This step, which usually takes 7 to 10 days, includes finishing details such as trim around windows and doors, soffits, corners, light fixtures, and vents. Touch-up paint is applied where needed for a polished, cohesive look.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
We keep your yard tidy throughout the project, placing a recycling bin on-site from day one. Once the installation is complete, all waste is removed and disposed of in line with best practices. Your home’s exterior is left spotless and the only evidence that we’ve ever been there will be the beautiful new siding.

FAQ

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

How long does a typical siding project take from start to finish?

Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, from the consultation and design selections to installation and final quality checks. Weather can play a role – especially during the spring storm season and humid summers – but we communicate clearly throughout the process so you always know the timeline.

What influences the overall price of siding installation?

Cost is shaped by the size and shape of your home, the material you choose, how much prep work or old-siding removal is needed, and whether any repairs are required due to rot or moisture. Features like dormers, gables, porches, and decorative trim also affect labor and material costs.

Why do you need to visit my home before giving a quote?

An in-person visit allows us to inspect your current siding, check for moisture intrusion, evaluate the condition of the sheathing, and take accurate measurements. This helps us provide a detailed, dependable quote rather than an estimate that changes later.

Can you help with insurance claims after storm or wind damage?

Yes. Central North Carolina experiences strong thunderstorms, wind events, and the occasional tropical system. We routinely help homeowners document siding damage, prepare reports for insurance adjusters, and guide you through the claims process to maximize your approved coverage.

Do I need to stay home during installation?

No. If we have exterior access, our team can work whether you’re home or away. We update you regularly and notify you if we uncover issues behind the old siding that need your approval to address.

Are you licensed and insured to operate in North Carolina?

Yes. We hold all required licensing and insurance for North Carolina. This includes liability insurance and workers’ compensation to ensure your home and our crew are fully protected throughout your project.

Can you assist with HOA guidelines or local permitting?

Yes. Many Chapel Hill neighborhoods—especially new communities—have active HOAs. We help you prepare required submissions and ensure your design meets the guidelines. If permits are required, we assist with the approval process as needed.

Can I view past siding projects you’ve completed in the Chapel Hill?

Yes. We have before-and-after project photos from homes throughout Durham and nearby towns. Seeing real local examples often helps homeowners feel more confident about choosing materials, textures, and colors.

What should I do if I notice a problem after the siding is installed?

Just contact us. Whether it’s a small adjustment or a concern with your materials, we’ll inspect the issue promptly and take care of anything covered under your warranty. We stand behind every project we complete.
