Kevin is a third-generation contractor who grew up in Maine, spending his early years around job sites and learning the values his family lived by: work hard, pay attention to the details, and always put customers first. After more than a decade in customer success and project management, he combined that experience with his contracting roots to bring Ideal Siding to the Durham area. Now living in Pittsboro with his wife, Sambi, and their two dogs, Ranger and Maple, Kevin enjoys exploring local trails, visiting neighborhood parks, grilling at home, and staying active in the community he serves.
With every project, Kevin focuses on helping homeowners make confident, long-term decisions for their homes – whether it’s choosing the right materials, improving durability, or upgrading curb appeal. He chose Ideal Siding because the company’s 25-year workmanship warranty matches the values he grew up with: stand behind your work and treat people with care.

Our Expert Siding Solutions for Residential and Commercial Cladding
Full siding replacement is a smart way to improve your home’s protection, comfort, and curb appeal. We remove old panels, complete any needed structural repairs, and install durable siding built for Durham’s humidity and storms.
From inspection to cleanup, our team delivers precise alignment, smooth finishes, and long-lasting craftsmanship.
Partial siding replacement is a cost-effective way to refresh damaged or weathered areas while keeping your home protected. We carefully match materials, secure every joint, and ensure proper insulation and moisture resistance.
Using durable products and detailed craftsmanship, we create a seamless, cohesive finish built to handle humidity and seasonal storms.
Minor siding damage can quickly lead to bigger issues. Our repair service fixes cracks, rot, and warping to help protect your home and extend the life of your siding.
With clear communication, punctual service, and seamless repairs, we restore both appearance and peace of mind.
For new builds, we install siding with precision to enhance your home’s design and long-term durability. Each board is carefully aligned, sealed, and ventilated for a clean finish that performs in North Carolina’s climate.
The result is quality craftsmanship, lasting protection, and improved curb appeal from day one.

The most common style options
James Hardie® fiber cement siding combines lasting durability with a polished look. Made from cement and cellulose fibers, it resists rot, pests, and fire while helping protect your home from harsh weather.
With a range of colors and finishes, it enhances curb appeal and delivers long-term performance.
Vinyl siding is an affordable, low-maintenance option with a clean, lasting look. It resists moisture, holds its color well, and performs reliably in humid climates.
Available in wood-look, stone-look, and smooth finishes, premium vinyl offers durable protection and vibrant color without repainting.
Cedar siding adds natural warmth, texture, and timeless character to both historic and modern homes. Its rich grain creates an inviting look while offering natural resistance to insects and decay.
With proper sealing and care, cedar can maintain its beauty and performance for years.
Aluminum siding is a durable, low-maintenance option for tough climates. It resists rust, fire, warping, swelling, and cracking, even through temperature changes.
Easy to clean and built to last, aluminum siding can provide reliable protection for 30 to 50 years.
Engineered wood siding delivers the look of natural wood with improved durability and easier maintenance. It resists moisture and warping while offering a lighter, more efficient installation.
Available in many finishes, it provides a customizable, cost-effective way to enhance curb appeal.
The cost of siding depends on the material used, and several other factors, including your home’s design, size and number of stories, the cost to remove existing siding, local labor rates and even the terrain your house is built on. Regardless of your choice, we give you a final price before the job begins to help you make an informed choice.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Dream it, design it, never touch it again – that’s siding the Ideal way. We give every homeowner in North America access to a reliable siding renovation company with affordable pricing, fair wages for labor, and exceptional customer service.
At Ideal Siding, we understand that home improvements don’t always align with your budget. That’s why we offer flexible financing solutions to help you move forward with your siding project without delay, ensuring you can enhance your home’s exterior without financial strain.
Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Ideal Siding Chapel Hill holds North Carolina General Contractor license 109114, general liability insurance (CSU0248487) and workers’ compensation (WC5-33S-B268L8-016), so your home and our crew are covered for the whole project. The license is linked on this page if you want to verify it.
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.
Yes. We have before-and-after photos from homes in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Pittsboro and Durham, and we’re glad to walk you through the ones most like your house.

Most full siding replacements in Chapel Hill land between $15,000 and $40,000. The spread comes down to the material, square footage, number of stories and how much rot repair the sheathing needs. James Hardie fiber cement starts at $10 per square foot primed, engineered wood at $11 and vinyl at $6.50. Partial replacement starts at $3,000 and repairs at $1,000. You get a final written price before work begins.
Yes, and they are some of our favorite jobs. Wood-based siding struggles in North Carolina’s humidity, and Masonite hardboard is the worst of it: it soaks up water, swells at the bottom edge, goes soft and invites pests, and it has not been made in more than 20 years. Many Chapel Hill and Carrboro homes and townhomes built in the 1980s and 90s still have it. We typically recommend replacement rather than patching or painting, because we find it saves homeowners a lot of money in the long run: the old boards come off, the sheathing is inspected and repaired, a new weather barrier goes on, then James Hardie fiber cement or vinyl. Full Masonite replacement starts at $15,000.
Yes. James Hardie fiber cement is the siding we install most often in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Pittsboro. We use the HZ10 line made for Southern heat and humidity, primed for painting or with ColorPlus finishes baked on at the factory, and we install to Hardie’s requirements so the product warranty holds. Ideal Siding Chapel Hill is an Elite tier member of the James Hardie Contractor Alliance program, and every job carries our 25-year workmanship warranty. Primed Hardie siding starts at $10 per square foot; ColorPlus factory-finished boards cost more and skip the painting.
Both hold up here; the choice is budget and look. Hardie is fiber cement: noncombustible, thicker, holds paint well, and starts at $10 per square foot. Vinyl starts at $6.50 per square foot, never needs painting and is the lower-cost route. Once you sign, a design consultation and a rendering of your house in the new siding let you settle color and profile before a single board is ordered.
Both. We install new cedar siding, starting at $15 per square foot, and we replace cedar that has started to fail. For most Chapel Hill and Carrboro homes we recommend replacing it with James Hardie fiber cement: it holds up better in North Carolina humidity, pests leave it alone, primed boards start at $10 per square foot against $15 for cedar, and it needs far less upkeep: cedar wants sealing or staining every few years, while Hardie’s factory ColorPlus finish, which costs more than primed, carries a 15-year warranty. Hardie’s Cedarmill texture keeps the wood-grain look.
Both. Siding repairs start at $1,000 and partial replacement at $3,000: storm damage, wood rot around windows and doors, or a wall that was never flashed properly. The one job we usually talk homeowners out of is patching failing Masonite, because the boards next to it are failing too. We repair siding across Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough and Chatham County.
Yes. We cover all of Chatham County, including Pittsboro, Fearrington Village and Siler City, and go south to Sanford. Call 984-314-8730 for a free estimate anywhere in the county.
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough; all of Chatham County, including Pittsboro, Fearrington Village and Siler City; and south to Sanford. Durham, the towns north of it and the I-85 corridor out to Burlington are covered by our Durham office; either number reaches the same local team.
Our installation, for 25 years: if the siding was put on wrong, we fix it at no cost, and you deal with the same team that did the work. Manufacturer warranties come on top: James Hardie covers the boards for 30 years and ColorPlus finishes for 15.
Estimates are free and usually ready within two business days of the site visit. We measure the house, check the sheathing and moisture, then send a written price. Call 984-314-8730 or use the form; we reply within one business day, Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
Yes: windows, doors, gutters and gutter guards, roofing and decking. Doing them with the siding means one crew, one schedule, and the flashing between roof, windows and siding done once. On a re-side we also replace soffit, fascia and trim where they need it and repair wood rot. Financing is available through our bank partners; ask during the estimate.
