Siding Installation and Replacement in King, NC
Siding keeps rain and wind off the walls of your house. We install and replace it, and we look at how it meets the roof and gutters while we're there.
When it's time to look hard at your siding
Siding is the skin of the house. When it is cracked, warped, loose or worn past saving, rain gets behind it and starts working on the sheathing and framing underneath, often out of sight until there is soft wood or a musty smell inside. A wall that only looks dated from the street can be hiding moisture problems up close.
Homes in the Triad take a lot of weather on their walls: humid summers that keep shaded sides damp, wind-driven rain from summer storms, and limbs or hail that crack panels. Older brick ranches with siding on the gables and newer two-story homes clad top to bottom both run into this, often first on the side that sees the least sun.
We install new siding and replace siding that has worn out. Vinyl is a common choice, and we go over material options with you at the estimate. Jay will look at the damage and tell you honestly whether it is limited to a section or a whole wall needs work, and you get that in a free written estimate before you commit.
What you get when we handle your siding
Siding work done by a roofing crew pays attention to the places where walls meet the roof.
An honest read on the damage
Jay tells you whether the problem is one section or a whole wall, so you are not talked into more than the house needs.
Walls and roof edges considered together
We look at how the siding meets the roofline, eaves and gutters, since water often gets behind siding at those joints.
Options talked through in person
Vinyl is a common choice, and we go over material options at the estimate so you can decide what suits the house.
A tidy work area
Old siding and scraps are hauled off, and we clean up the work area before we leave.
Workmanship guaranteed
Our installation work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
What a siding job typically covers
Scope depends on what Jay finds and what you choose, and your written estimate will say exactly what is included. A typical installation or replacement involves these parts.
Assessing the walls
Checking the existing siding for cracks, warping, loose panels and signs of water getting behind it.
Removing the old siding
Taking off worn siding in the areas being replaced, so the wall beneath can be seen instead of covered over.
Looking at the wall underneath
Checking the sheathing for soft or water-damaged spots once the old siding is off, and telling you what we find before going further.
Installing new siding
Hanging the new siding level and fastened so it can expand and contract with temperature swings, which vinyl needs room to do.
Finishing edges and corners
Closing out corners and the edges around openings so water is directed out and away rather than into the wall.
Tying in with roof edges and gutters
Making sure the siding, the roofline and the gutters work together so runoff stays outside the wall.
Cleanup
Hauling away old siding and picking up nails and scraps from the yard.
How siding work comes together
Siding projects vary more from house to house than roofs do, so the early steps get extra attention.
Step 1Get in touch
Call (336) 971-3665 and tell us what you are noticing: cracked panels, a loose section, or siding that has simply reached the end of its life.
Step 2Jay looks at the walls and roofline

We talk through material options, including vinyl, and you get a free written estimate covering the scope we agreed on.
Step 4Ordering and scheduling
Once you decide, materials are ordered and the work is scheduled when the calendar and weather allow.
Step 5Installation and cleanup
The crew removes old siding where needed, installs the new siding and cleans the work area as they go.
Step 6Final walkaround
We walk around the house with you to look over the finished walls and answer any questions.
Siding questions
What affects the cost of new siding?
The amount of wall being covered, how many windows, doors and corners need finishing, the height of the house, the material you pick and what turns up under the old siding. Your written estimate spells out the scope.
Do I need to replace all of my siding?
Not necessarily. Sometimes damage is limited to one section, and sometimes a whole wall or more is due. Jay will tell you which it is and why. Older siding fades, so matching new pieces to old is worth talking through at the estimate.
What siding materials can I choose from?
Vinyl is a common option on homes around here. We go over material options in person at the estimate, based on your house and what you want from it.
Should I do siding and roofing at the same time?
It can make sense, especially if both are near the end of their life. Doing them together lets the roof edge, gutters and walls be planned as one job. If the roof is due too, here is what a roof replacement includes.
Can storm damage to siding be covered by insurance?
Wind and hail damage may be covered, depending on your policy. You would call your insurer to start a claim, and our free written report with photos and notes of what we found can help.
How long does siding replacement take?
It depends heavily on how much of the house is being done. A single wall goes much faster than a whole house. We will give you an expected timeline with your estimate, weather permitting.
Is there financing for siding?
Financing and payment plans are available. Ask about payment options with your estimate.
Why would a roofer work on siding?
Because the walls and the roof share the same job: keeping water out. Many leaks show up where siding meets the roof, around chimneys and along the eaves, and a roofing crew is used to working those joints.
