We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
We begin by carefully removing your existing siding while preserving the underlying sheathing. This step typically takes 2–7 days, depending on the size of your home and the type of siding being removed. Vinyl and cedar are generally quicker to remove, while stucco or stone may take longer. If siding is being installed on a new wall, this step is not required.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
Next, we inspect the sheathing for any damage, such as rot or mold, that may need to be addressed before proceeding. If repairs are required, they will be clearly identified, estimated, and discussed with you in advance. While most homes do not need sheathing repairs, we make sure everything is in excellent condition before moving forward.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
Next, we prepare the wall by installing a rainscreen (optional but highly recommended), along with building paper, flashing, and strapping or mesh. This step helps protect your home from moisture damage and can extend the lifespan of your siding by up to 10 years—making it a smart investment for Lafayette’s hot and humid climate.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
We install your siding, add trim boards around windows, doors, and other architectural features, and apply touch-up paint to nail heads so everything blends seamlessly. Insect screens, flashing, and fixtures are also installed during this phase. Most siding installations take 7–10 days, depending on the type of siding and any custom finishes involved.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
After installation is complete, we thoroughly clean up the job site, recycle debris whenever possible, and leave behind nothing but your beautiful new siding

FAQ

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

Do I need an in-person consultation before receiving a siding quote?

Lafayette homes vary widely – from historic downtown houses to newer coastal builds – so an in-person visit helps us take accurate measurements, assess existing siding, and identify any moisture or structural concerns. This ensures your quote is precise and tailored to your home’s real needs.

Do you work with HOAs or historical review boards in Lafayette?

Yes. Many neighborhoods have HOA or architectural restrictions. We provide material samples, color documentation, and assistance with approval forms to make the process smooth.

What should I do to prepare my home before the installation begins?

We recommend trimming back vegetation, moving outdoor furniture, clearing driveway space for materials, and removing fragile items from interior walls. We’ll give you a simple prep list before your project starts so everything goes smoothly.

Do you remove the old siding, and how do you handle debris?

Yes. We remove all old siding, inspect the underlying structure, and dispose of debris responsibly. Dumpsters or disposal trailers are placed carefully to protect your property, and we clean up the site at the end of each day.

What factors influence the total cost of siding installation in Lafayette?

Your home’s size, the material you choose, the condition of your current siding, and any prep work required all affect pricing. Architectural details like trim, overhangs, or multiple stories can also impact cost. We always provide a clear breakdown before work begins.

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

Most projects in the Lafayette area take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on material availability, weather conditions, and the complexity of your home. We’ll share a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Can I see examples of siding projects you’ve completed in the Lafayette area?

Yes – you can check out the before-and-after photos from our projects in any nearby communities.

What maintenance is required after new siding is installed?

Most siding options only need annual wash, basic checks for caulking or sealant wear, and keeping vegetation away from the walls are usually enough. We’ll also provide simple care guidelines for your specific material.

What if there’s an issue after the installation is done?

If anything goes wrong after your siding is installed, just contact us. We stand behind our work and will promptly inspect and resolve any issues covered under your warranty.
