Siding That Protects First and Looks Good Doing It

Your siding is the main barrier between your walls and an Iowa winter. When panels crack, warp or come loose, water and cold air get behind them, and that's when you start seeing drafts, higher heating bills and rot you can't see from the outside.

We install vinyl, fiber cement and LP engineered wood siding, and we take the time to get the layers behind it right: house wrap, flashing at windows and doors, and sealing at every penetration. We'll help you choose a material and color that suit your home's style and your budget.

    Weather-resistant barrier and flashing go on around windows, doors and penetrations.

  5. Siding installation

    New siding installed with precise cuts, proper fastening and room for seasonal movement.

Replacement & Repair

Siding Replacement and Siding Repair in Des Moines

Full siding replacement

Most of our siding replacements use CertainTeed CERTAplank, a thick, wood-look vinyl plank with a reinforced foam backer. It lies flat and straight on the wall, holds up better to bumps than thin vinyl and never needs paint. When the budget is tight, we also install lighter vinyl lines and will price both.

  • Old siding removed so we can check the wall
  • House wrap and flashing at every window and door
  • Trim, soffit and fascia to match

Siding repair

Loose, cracked or missing panels after a storm can often be repaired. We match color and profile as closely as possible, and if a good match isn't possible, we'll tell you honestly whether to patch a less visible wall or replace the side.

  • Wind and hail damage repaired
  • Insurance documentation with photos

FAQ

Siding FAQs

How do I know if my siding needs replacement?

Signs include cracks, warping, fading and moisture damage. If your siding no longer protects your home effectively, replacement may be the best option.

What types of siding do you install?

We install vinyl, fiber cement and LP engineered wood (composite) siding.

Can siding improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Properly installed siding and house wrap reduce air leaks and help your insulation perform.

Do you handle storm damage repairs?

Yes. We repair siding damaged by hail, wind and debris.

Do you provide free estimates for siding projects?

Yes. Our free estimates walk you through your options, materials and costs before any work starts.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing options so you can spread the cost of new siding into manageable payments. We also accept cash, check and card. Ask about financing at your free estimate and we'll walk you through the options.

How much does siding cost in Des Moines?

Most siding replacement in the metro runs about $4 to $14+ per square foot of wall, installed. Our siding cost guide explains what moves the price and where foam-backed siding lands.

What is foam-backed siding?

Vinyl siding with a rigid foam backer on each panel. We install CertainTeed CERTAplank, which lies flatter and straighter on the wall than thin, hollow-back vinyl and holds up better to bumps.

Should I repair or replace my siding?

If the damage is limited and the panels can be matched, repair usually makes sense. If panels are brittle, faded or warped across whole walls, siding replacement is usually the better value.
