Protect your home and enhance curb appeal with professional siding services
Siding is your home's first line of defense against weather, moisture, and the elements. It serves three critical purposes: protecting your home's structural components from water damage, improving energy efficiency by creating a thermal barrier, and enhancing your home's appearance and curb appeal.
Quality siding properly installed keeps water out of your walls, reduces heating and cooling costs, and can transform the look of your home. When siding fails—whether due to age, storm damage, or poor installation—it exposes your home to moisture intrusion that can lead to costly repairs involving insulation, framing, and interior walls.

These warning signs indicate it's time to have your siding inspected
Cracked, warped, or buckled siding panels indicate that the material has deteriorated due to age, moisture exposure, or temperature cycling. Warping occurs when siding expands and contracts repeatedly, causing it to bow or pull away from the house. Once siding is cracked or warped, it can't protect your home properly and allows water to penetrate behind it, potentially damaging insulation and framing.
Siding panels that are loose, rattling in the wind, or completely missing expose your home's sheathing and moisture barriers to the elements. Loose siding is often caused by improper installation, fastener failure, or wind damage. One or two loose panels might be repairable, but widespread looseness usually indicates that the entire siding system is failing and needs replacement.
Severe fading or a chalky residue on your siding indicates that UV exposure has degraded the material's protective coating. When you run your hand across faded siding and come away with a chalky powder, the siding has lost its weather resistance and is approaching the end of its lifespan. Fading also affects curb appeal, making your home look older and less maintained.
If you notice water stains on interior walls, peeling paint, mold growth, or musty odors, water may be getting behind your siding. This is a serious issue because prolonged moisture exposure causes rot in wood framing, damages insulation, and creates unhealthy living conditions. Water intrusion problems require immediate attention to prevent expensive structural repairs.
If your heating or cooling costs have increased noticeably and your HVAC system is functioning properly, failing siding could be the culprit. Damaged or poorly installed siding allows air to leak in and out of your home, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder. New, properly installed siding—especially insulated vinyl siding—creates a better thermal envelope and can reduce energy costs.
Durable, low-maintenance siding options for Missouri homeowners
Vinyl siding is the most popular residential siding material in Missouri because it offers an excellent combination of durability, low maintenance, and affordability. Modern vinyl siding is engineered to withstand weather extremes, resist fading, and maintain its appearance for decades without painting or staining.
Quality matters with vinyl siding. Thicker, premium-grade vinyl resists cracking, warping, and impact damage better than thin, economy-grade products. We install quality vinyl siding that's designed for durability and backed by solid manufacturer warranties. Proper installation—including correct fastening and allowing for thermal expansion—is critical to performance.
Insulated vinyl siding is standard vinyl siding with a contoured foam backing permanently attached to each panel. This foam layer adds rigidity, impact resistance, and an R-value (thermal resistance) that helps improve your home's energy efficiency by reducing thermal bridging through the walls.
Insulated vinyl costs more upfront than standard vinyl, but it provides better energy efficiency and impact resistance. If you're in a hail-prone area, have high energy costs, or want the best-performing vinyl siding available, insulated vinyl is worth considering. We can help you evaluate whether the additional cost makes sense for your home and budget.
In addition to siding panels, we install vinyl or aluminum trim components including corner posts, J-channels, fascia boards, and soffit panels. These finishing elements complete the look of your siding installation while protecting edges and transitions from moisture intrusion. Properly installed trim ensures a professional appearance and prevents water from getting behind the siding system.
As roofing contractors who also install siding, we understand how these two systems work together to protect your home. Many siding problems are actually caused by issues at the roofline, and addressing both systems properly is essential for complete home protection.
Flashing is critical at every point where your roof meets siding—including where the main roof meets walls, around dormers, and at roof-to-wall transitions. Improper or missing flashing allows water to run down from the roof and get behind the siding, causing rot in sheathing and framing. When we install siding, we ensure proper flashing integration with your roofline to create a watertight seal.
When gutters overflow or leak, water cascades down your siding instead of flowing through downspouts. Constant water exposure causes staining, algae growth, and premature deterioration of siding materials. It can also saturate the moisture barrier behind the siding, leading to wood rot. Keeping gutters clean and functional protects your siding investment.
Ice dams that form along roof edges can cause water to back up and seep behind siding at the top of exterior walls. This typically happens when inadequate attic insulation and ventilation cause snow to melt unevenly on the roof. The resulting water intrusion damages both the siding and the wall structure behind it. Proper attic ventilation and insulation prevent ice dams and protect your siding.
When both your roof and siding need replacement, coordinating both projects makes sense. We can ensure proper flashing details, address any structural issues discovered during tear-off, and complete both projects efficiently. Having one contractor handle both eliminates finger-pointing if problems arise and ensures the roof and siding systems are properly integrated.
Why This Matters: Many contractors specialize in only roofing or only siding. Because we handle both, we understand how these systems interact and can address problems that others might miss. This comprehensive approach ensures your home is protected at every level.
Missouri's severe weather—particularly wind and hail—can damage siding in ways that aren't always immediately obvious. Understanding how storms affect siding helps you know when to have your home inspected and whether insurance coverage might apply.
High winds can tear siding panels loose, especially at corners and edges where wind forces are strongest. Even if panels don't blow off completely, wind can crack them, pull fasteners loose, or separate joints. Storm debris blown against siding can also cause dents, cracks, and punctures.
After windstorms, inspect your siding for loose or missing panels, cracks, and areas where siding has pulled away from the house. Wind damage that affects multiple sides of your home or large sections of siding may be covered by insurance.
Hail impacts can crack vinyl siding, leave visible dents, or break through panels entirely depending on hail size and wind speed. Damage is often concentrated on sides of the house facing the direction the storm came from. Hail damage may not be visible from a distance—close inspection is needed to see cracks and impact marks.
Even if hail doesn't crack siding, impacts can weaken the material and shorten its lifespan. After hailstorms, check for impact marks, cracks, and damage to trim components, soffit, and fascia.
If you suspect storm damage to your siding, having it professionally inspected helps you understand the extent of damage and whether filing an insurance claim is appropriate. We document storm damage with detailed photos and written assessments that can be shared with your insurance company.
We can meet with your insurance adjuster during their inspection to ensure damage is properly identified and documented. Our goal is to advocate for homeowners and make sure legitimate storm damage is recognized—not to push claims that aren't warranted.
Insurance companies typically have one-year deadlines for filing storm damage claims from the date of the storm. Waiting too long to have damage documented can mean missing the window to file a claim and having to pay for repairs or replacement out of pocket.
Important: Storm damage inspections are free, and there's no obligation to hire us even if we help document damage for insurance purposes. We provide honest assessments—if your siding doesn't have qualifying storm damage, we'll tell you.
Proper installation ensures your siding performs as designed and lasts for decades
We start by inspecting your existing siding and the condition of your home's sheathing and structure. We look for water damage, rot, and areas that need repair before new siding is installed. We also evaluate your home's current moisture barriers, flashing details, and trim condition. This inspection ensures we understand exactly what work is needed and can provide an accurate estimate.
We carefully remove your existing siding, trim, and accessories. Removing old siding allows us to inspect the sheathing underneath and address any hidden problems before installing new materials. We protect your landscaping, windows, and property during removal and haul away all old siding materials.
With old siding removed, we inspect your home's sheathing for water damage, rot, and structural issues. Any damaged sheathing is replaced before we proceed. We also check and repair window and door framing as needed. Solid, intact sheathing is essential for proper siding attachment and performance.
We install high-quality house wrap (moisture barrier) over the sheathing. This water-resistant layer protects your home from moisture intrusion while allowing water vapor to escape from inside the walls. Properly installed house wrap with sealed seams and proper overlaps is critical to preventing water damage behind your siding.
We install flashing around all windows, doors, and at the intersection of siding and rooflines. Proper flashing directs water away from vulnerable areas and prevents moisture from getting behind your siding. This step is critical but often rushed or done incorrectly—we take the time to do it right.
We install siding panels according to manufacturer specifications, starting from the bottom and working upward. Each panel is properly fastened, aligned, and interlocked. We allow for thermal expansion to prevent buckling and warping. Trim components—including corners, J-channels, fascia, and soffit—are installed to complete the look and protect edges and transitions.
After installation, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets our quality standards. We clean up all debris, remove old materials, and leave your property clean. You'll have new siding that protects your home and enhances its appearance for years to come.
Crystal City and Jefferson County experience weather conditions that challenge siding materials. Understanding these local factors helps you appreciate why quality materials and proper installation are important for long-term performance.
Missouri experiences frequent severe thunderstorms with high winds, especially during spring and summer. Wind speeds can exceed 60 mph during storms, creating significant force against siding. Properly installed siding with correct fastening resists wind uplift and impact from storm debris. Quality materials with impact-resistant properties perform better in storm-prone areas like ours.
Missouri's humid climate—especially during summer—creates conditions that promote mold, mildew, and algae growth on siding. Proper moisture barriers behind siding prevent water vapor from entering wall cavities, and vinyl siding's non-porous surface resists moisture-related problems. Ensuring adequate drainage around your home's foundation also protects siding from ground moisture splash-back.
Missouri's temperature range—from below zero in winter to over 100°F in summer—causes siding materials to expand and contract repeatedly. Vinyl siding is engineered to handle this thermal cycling, but proper installation that allows for expansion is critical. Siding that's nailed too tightly or installed in cold weather without accounting for expansion can buckle or warp when temperatures rise.
Intense summer sun and UV radiation cause lower-quality siding to fade, chalk, and become brittle over time. Quality vinyl siding uses UV-stabilized materials and fade-resistant color technology that maintains its appearance for decades. South and west-facing walls receive the most sun exposure and benefit most from premium-grade siding products.
