Siding Installation and Repair

Your home’s siding is its first line of defense against the elements. It shields the structure from rain, snow, wind, and harsh sunlight, all while playing a massive role in your home’s curb appeal. At David L Rogers Construction, we understand that new siding is a significant investment, and we are dedicated to helping you choose the right materials and ensuring a flawless installation. Dave Lawrence Rogers leads a team that is meticulous about the details because we know that siding is only as good as the installation behind it. We are here to help you transform the look of your home while improving its durability and energy efficiency.

Choosing the right material is the first step. Vinyl siding remains a popular choice for its cost-effectiveness and low maintenance. Modern vinyl has come a long way; it is available in a vast array of colors and textures, including options that mimic the look of wood grain. It is resistant to rot and insects and never needs painting. For those looking for a more premium look, we often recommend fiber cement siding (such as Hardie board). This material is incredibly durable, fire-resistant, and offers the deep, authentic look of painted wood without the susceptibility to rot or termites. We also work with natural cedar siding for those who want the timeless, rustic beauty that only real wood can provide, and we can advise you on the maintenance required to keep it looking great.

The installation process involves much more than just nailing up boards. We start by stripping away the old siding to inspect the sheathing underneath. This is a critical step that some contractors skip. We look for any signs of water damage, rot, or mold on the structural walls. If we find any issues, we repair them immediately. We then wrap the house in a high-quality weather-resistive barrier (house wrap) and tape the seams. This layer allows the house to “breathe” while preventing water from penetrating the walls. We can also install rigid foam insulation under the new siding, which acts as a thermal break and can significantly lower your heating and cooling bills.

We pay special attention to the trim and details, which truly define the look of the home. We install new soffits and fascia to ensure proper attic ventilation and a clean roofline. We frame windows and doors with beautiful trim work that adds depth and character. Corner posts, light blocks, and vent covers are installed with precision. We ensure that all flashing—the metal used to direct water away from joints—is installed correctly, particularly above windows and where the roof meets the walls. Improper flashing is the number one cause of leaks in siding, and we take no shortcuts here.

Siding isn’t just about full replacement; we also handle siding repairs. Storm damage is common in our service areas, whether it is from hail, fallen branches, or high winds. If you have loose panels, cracks, or missing sections, it is important to address them quickly to prevent water from getting behind the siding and causing rot. We work hard to match your existing siding color and style for a seamless repair. If your siding is faded, we can discuss options, but often we can source materials that blend well or take pieces from less visible areas of the house to repair the front.

Curb appeal is a huge factor in the value of your home. New siding can completely change the personality of your house. We can help you navigate color trends and combinations. Perhaps you want to mix materials, using horizontal lap siding on the main walls and cedar shakes in the gables for a craftsman look. Or maybe you want a vertical board-and-batten style for a modern farmhouse aesthetic. We have the design eye and technical skill to bring these visions to life.

We maintain a clean and safe job site throughout the project. Stripping old siding can be messy, creating a lot of debris and old nails. We use magnetic sweepers to clear your driveway and lawn of nails daily to protect your tires and your family’s feet. We protect your landscaping and garden beds from falling debris.

At David L Rogers Construction, we stand behind our work. We follow the manufacturer’s installation specifications to the letter, which ensures that your warranty remains valid. We use the proper fasteners and spacing to allow materials to expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing warping or buckling. When you choose us for your siding project, you are choosing a team that cares about the longevity and beauty of your home just as much as you do. Let us help you give your home a fresh, durable, and beautiful new exterior.
