Most siding failures don’t start with the material itself. They begin with how moisture is managed, how details are handled around openings, and whether the system is designed to move and breathe over time.
Improper flashing, missing water barriers, tight fastening that restricts movement, or rushed detailing around windows and doors can quietly compromise a home’s exterior. These issues are rarely visible at first, but over time they lead to rot, moisture intrusion, warped boards, and recurring repairs.
In coastal New England, where wind-driven rain, humidity, and seasonal movement are constant, siding must be installed as a complete system—not just attached to the wall.
We begin with a careful review of the home’s exterior, identifying moisture risks, existing damage, wall conditions, and how the siding system should integrate with windows, doors, and trim.
Material selection, fastening methods, flashing details, and water-management strategies are planned before installation begins—so the siding system can expand, contract, and perform as intended.
Before installation, the property is prepared and protected. Landscaping, decks, and surrounding areas are safeguarded to maintain order, cleanliness, and respect for your home throughout the project.
Our in-house siding crews complete the work under active supervision. Critical details—such as spacing, fastening, and transitions—are monitored throughout the installation process.
The project concludes with a final inspection to confirm proper installation, system performance, and alignment with the original plan—so nothing is left unaddressed.
After removing siding across Cape Cod for years, we frequently see the same “cosmetic-only” installations in homes just 8–12 years old. While the exterior may look acceptable to the naked eye, serious issues are often developing underneath due to rushed preparation, specifically, missing house wrap, inadequate window flashing, or rot that was covered up rather than removed. These shortcuts don’t show immediately, but within a decade, they lead to water infiltration, mold development in wall cavities, and compromised framing. Unfortunately, once this hidden deterioration takes hold, the only solution is often a complete and costly teardown of the entire exterior system.
