What Does Siding Installation Involve?

Siding installation involves much more than hanging new panels. It's the full wall assembly that keeps wind and water out. A typical project includes:

• Removing the old siding where needed and checking the sheathing underneath for moisture damage or rot
• Repairing damaged areas before anything new goes on
• Installing a weather-resistant barrier behind the siding to manage moisture and air movement
• Flashing around windows, doors, and other openings, where water most often gets in
• Installing trim and finishing details that seal edges and corners
• Hanging the new siding and fastening it to the material's requirements

A tight wall assembly also helps with comfort. The U.S. Department of Energy explains how air leaks through a home's exterior affect energy use, and the layers behind your siding play a big part in sealing them.

How Do Colorado Springs Conditions Affect Your Siding Choice?

The right siding here has to stand up to hail, intense UV, strong winds, and wide temperature swings, so durability matters as much as looks.

Hail

Hail can crack, chip, or dent siding, especially on walls that face the direction storms usually come from.

Sun

High-altitude sunlight fades color and breaks down some materials faster than in lower, cloudier climates.

Wind

Strong gusts can loosen panels that weren't fastened properly and drive rain into gaps.

Temperature Swings

Siding expands and contracts as temperatures change. Correct spacing and fastening help it move without buckling or cracking.

Is Vinyl Siding Installation a Good Fit for Your Home?

Vinyl siding installation is often a fit for homeowners who want a lower-maintenance exterior at a moderate cost. Vinyl doesn't need painting and comes in a wide range of colors and profiles.

What to weigh here:

• Cold-weather hail: Vinyl becomes more brittle in cold temperatures, so hail can crack it more easily.
• Sun exposure: Color retention varies between product lines, which matters under strong UV.
• Expansion: Vinyl moves with temperature changes, so it needs room to expand and contract to stay flat.

What Should You Know About Wood Siding Installation?

Wood siding installation offers a natural look that many homeowners love, but it asks more of you over time. Wood needs regular painting or sealing to protect it from sun and moisture, and dry air can make it shrink, crack, or split if the finish breaks down.

If you're drawn to wood, we'll talk through the upkeep it requires and whether it fits your home and how much maintenance you're willing to take on.

Why Do Homeowners Ask About Fiber Cement Siding Installation?

Fiber cement siding installation comes up often because the material is known for durability. It resists fire and insects, holds paint well, and can mimic the look of wood. It's also heavier and more rigid than vinyl, so correct handling, cutting, and fastening are critical to how it performs.

We'll walk you through how fiber cement compares to other options based on your home and your goals.

When Should You Choose Home Siding Installation Over Repairs?

Choose home siding installation over repairs when damage is widespread, moisture has gotten behind the walls, or the siding keeps needing fixes. A few cracked panels can usually be repaired. Siding with problems across many walls usually can't.

Signs it may be time for new siding:

• Cracked, broken, or loose panels on several sides of the house
• Warped or bulging sections
• Heavy fading or peeling that keeps coming back
• Moisture, rot, or soft spots behind or around the siding
• Gaps opening between panels
• Hail or wind damage across multiple walls
• Siding that's become hard to keep up with

If storm damage is behind the problem, our insurance restoration professionals can inspect and document it and walk you through the claim process after a qualifying event.
