Lap Siding

A familiar and reliable choice for homes across the region, lap siding pairs well with Colonial, Craftsman, and farmhouse-style homes.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles are precisely milled, with uniform thickness and a smooth, clean-cut appearance, making them ideal for a more refined or formal look. Shakes are typically split rather than sawn, giving them a thicker, more irregular texture that creates a rustic, handcrafted feel. Often used as an accent on gables, dormers, or entire façades, shingles and shakes offer texture and depth. They’re particularly well suited to Craftsman bungalows, older wood-framed homes, or any property where a softer, more natural profile is desired.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
We start by carefully removing the existing siding. This typically takes between 2 and 7 days, depending on your home’s size and siding type. With new builds or homes requiring only minor preparation, this is not required.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
Next, we thoroughly inspect the sheathing beneath the siding for any signs of rot, mold, or damage. Repairs are not often needed, but if they are, we provide a clear estimate before proceeding so you know exactly what to expect.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
To protect your home from moisture damage, we recommend installing a rainscreen system that includes building paper, flashings, and strapping or mesh. The DMV experiences, on average, 115 days of rain, sleet, or snow each year, so this extra barrier helps prevent deterioration and may extend the life of your siding by several years.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
Our experienced team handles installation with precision, attending to every detail including trim boards, soffits, insect screens, and flashings. This phase generally takes 7 to 10 days, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the design.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
Once installation is complete, we clean your property thoroughly and dispose of all waste responsibly per local regulations. The only visible change will be the beautiful new siding enhancing your home’s exterior.

FAQ

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

How does DC’s climate affect siding choices?

The region’s hot, humid summers, cold winters, heavy rains, and occasional Nor’easters can all impact exterior materials. Siding needs to resist swelling, fading, moisture absorption, and quick temperature swings. We help you compare materials designed to handle the Mid-Atlantic’s demanding climate.

Why do you need to see my home before giving a siding estimate?

The DC Metro area includes everything from historic rowhomes on Capitol Hill to 1950s colonials in Maryland and modern builds in Northern Virginia. An in-person visit helps us evaluate the structure, check for moisture or age-related issues, measure precisely around complex trim, and determine what prep work is needed. This ensures your estimate is accurate and customized.

Are you licensed and insured to work in DC, Maryland, and Virginia?

Yes. We carry proper licensing and full liability and workers’ compensation coverage appropriate for each jurisdiction where we operate. This protects your property and our team throughout the project.

Do you handle permits or help with HOA approvals?

Absolutely. The DC region has some of the strictest permitting and design-review processes in the country. We assist with permits, materials documentation, HOA submissions, and – where required – historic district guidelines.

How long does a siding project usually take in Washington DC Metro, Alexandria and McLean?

Most installations take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your home’s design, material availability, and weather. Storms or freezing temperatures may cause brief delays, but we adjust the schedule carefully to protect your home.

Can I see examples of siding projects you’ve done in Washington DC Metro area?

Yes. We maintain a portfolio of before-and-after photos from projects throughout DC, Northern Virginia, and suburban Maryland. Reviewing these examples can help you explore materials and visualize design possibilities.

What siding materials do you offer for DC-area homes?

We install fiber cement (James Hardie®), vinyl, engineered wood, cedar, composite siding, and certain metal options. Each material performs differently in DC’s mix of humidity, temperature swings, and urban conditions. We help you select the best match for your home’s architecture and exposure.

Do you remove the old siding before installing the new material?

In most cases, yes. Removing old siding lets us check for moisture issues, outdated building wraps, or structural concerns commonly found in older homes. A proper tear-off helps ensure long-term durability.

What kind of maintenance will my siding need in DC area?

Maintenance depends on the siding material. Once you choose your product, we’ll provide specific care guidelines suited to DC’s humidity, rainfall, and seasonal changes.
