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.
“My goal is simple: treat every home like it’s my own, and every customer like family.”
Durham weather is hard on siding. Long humid summers, heavy thunderstorms, tropical rain bands, and winter ice and freeze-thaw cycles all put pressure on the exterior. That’s how you end up with moisture intrusion, rot, peeling paint, failed caulk, and mildew. We’re a local siding contractor working in Durham and around the Triangle, and we treat siding like part of the building envelope-because that’s exactly what it is. Before we replace, upgrade, or repair anything, we look at the house wrap, flashing, drainage plane, clearances, and ventilation. We choose materials that can handle UV, moisture, wind-driven rain, and impact. And we do it with Durham’s Piedmont conditions in mind: clay soils, tree shade, and the moisture profile around the Eno River and Falls Lake. Not a generic install.
Commercial buildings in Durham get the same climate, just on a bigger scale: humidity, thermal cycling, storm loading, and years of exposure.

Our commercial siding systems are built around water management, secure attachment, and finish durability. From RTP and downtown Durham to the surrounding commercial corridors, we install exteriors that hold up and still look professional through North Carolina’s seasonal shifts.

If your home has existing siding, we remove it carefully to protect the sheathing underneath. Depending on the size of your home and the siding type, this step typically takes 2 to 7 days. If there’s no old siding to remove, we move straight to inspection.
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.

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 Durham 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.

Most full siding replacements in Durham 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 Durham homes built between 1980 and 2000 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 Durham. 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 Durham 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 Durham 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 Durham, Hillsborough, Bahama, Butner and Rougemont.
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.
All of Durham County, plus Hillsborough, Bahama, Rougemont, Butner, Creedmoor, Oxford, Roxboro and Morrisville, and west along I-85 through Efland and Mebane to Graham, Burlington and Gibsonville. Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Pittsboro are covered by our Chapel Hill office; either number reaches the same local team.
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 984-336-2757 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.
