What Is Siding Replacement?

Siding replacement means removing your home's old, worn siding and installing new material in its place, protecting the structure underneath from moisture, wind, and temperature swings while giving your home a new look. It's one of the most effective ways to boost curb appeal and protect your home's exterior at the same time.

We install Westlake Royal vinyl, Norandex vinyl, EDCO steel, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and James Hardie fiber cement siding, matched to your home, your budget, and your goals. Every material we install is chosen to hold up to the swings between Minnesota's cold winters and hot summers.

Signs You Need Siding Replacement

Most homeowners call us after noticing one or more of these. Here's what we look for:

  • Cracked, warped, or buckling panels, especially after freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Fading, chalking, or peeling paint that keeps coming back no matter how often you repaint.
  • Soft spots, bubbling, or visible moisture damage, which can point to water getting behind the siding.
  • Rising heating and cooling bills, which can mean your siding and the insulation behind it aren't doing their job anymore.

Built for Minnesota Weather

Minnesota puts siding through it: hot, humid summers and winters well below zero, sometimes in the same year. We install materials engineered for exactly that swing, so your new siding isn't fighting the climate, it's built for it.

Materials: Westlake Royal, Norandex, EDCO, LP SmartSide & James Hardie

We install four main siding materials, each suited to different budgets, looks, and priorities. We'll walk you through the differences during your free inspection so you pick the right fit for your home.

What Affects the Cost of Siding Replacement

Every home is different, so there isn't one price for a siding project. These are the things that move the number, so you know what you're looking at when you compare estimates.

Home Size

More square footage of exterior wall means more material and more labor time.

Material Choice

Westlake Royal, Norandex, EDCO steel, LP SmartSide, and James Hardie fiber cement all sit at different price points.

Removal of Old Siding

Tearing off and disposing of existing siding adds labor and disposal cost to the project.

Home Features

Corners, dormers, trim, and architectural details all take more time to work around than a simple, flat wall.

Sheathing & House Wrap

If the inspection finds damaged sheathing or a house wrap that needs replacing, that work gets added to the project. We flag it before anything starts.

Color & Style

Custom colors, wider profiles, and accent details can add to the cost of certain materials.

We look at all of this during your free inspection, so you know the full scope before you decide.

Siding Replacement FAQs

What does siding replacement include?
Siding replacement means removing your home's old siding and installing new material in its place. Depending on what we find during inspection, it can also include repairing damaged sheathing or replacing house wrap underneath.
What siding materials do you install?
We install Westlake Royal vinyl siding, Norandex vinyl siding, EDCO steel siding, LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, and James Hardie fiber cement siding. We'll walk you through the differences based on your home and budget during your free inspection.
How do I know if I need new siding or just repairs?
Cracked or warped panels, paint that won't hold, soft spots or visible moisture damage, and rising energy bills are all signs worth having looked at. We'll give you a straight answer during your free inspection on whether repair or full replacement makes more sense.
How much does siding replacement cost?
It depends on your home. The biggest factors are the size of your home, the material you choose, removal of your old siding, and the number of corners, dormers, and other architectural details. After a free inspection, we scope your project and give you an estimate, so you know the full cost before you decide.
Why do siding estimates vary so much from one contractor to the next?
Estimates often cover different scopes. One might include tear-off and disposal of the old siding, house wrap, and trim work, while another covers materials and labor only. When you compare estimates, ask what's included for removal, sheathing repairs, and trim.
Can I match new siding to my existing trim and roofline?
Yes. We'll walk through color, profile, and trim options during your design consultation so your new siding fits the rest of your home.
