What the job covers
Everything from tear-off to trim
A vinyl siding job is more than hanging panels. Pick a stage to see what is included.
Removal
Old siding removal and disposal
Our crew takes off the existing siding, hauls the debris away and checks the wall surface underneath before anything new goes up.
Start My Project- Full tear-off
- Debris hauled away
- Wall surface checked
- Landscaping protected
Wall prep
Wall preparation
Prep is what separates siding that lasts from siding that fails early, so we fix moisture issues and damaged areas first.
Start My Project- Moisture issues addressed
- Damaged areas repaired
- Surface made ready
- Prep scoped at the estimate
Panel installation
Panels hang on a nailing system that lets them expand and contract, each locking into the one below from foundation to roofline.
- Expansion-friendly nailing
- Interlocking rows
- Bottom-to-top install
- Continuous weather barrier
Trim, soffit and fascia
Trim finishes the edges around windows, doors and corners, and matching pieces seal the gaps where moisture could get in.
- Window and door trim
- Corner pieces
- Soffit
- Fascia
Styles and grades
More styles than you might expect
We help you choose the profile, color and thickness that suit your home, from traditional shotgun houses to newer suburban builds.
Board and batten
A vertical profile of alternating wide and narrow strips, often used as an accent.
- Gable ends
- Dormers
- Contrast sections
Shake and scallop
Profiles that mimic cedar shakes or decorative shingles to add texture and character.
- Upper stories
- Gable accents
- Porch areas
Thickness grades
Thicker panels look more realistic, resist impact better and hold their shape longer in direct sun.
- Entry-level grades
- Premium grades
- Insulated panels with foam backing
Repair or replace
Fix a few panels, or reside the house?
Small, isolated damage can often be repaired. We give you an honest read on what your siding actually needs.
| What we find | Repair usually works | Replacement is the better investment |
|---|---|---|
| Extent | A cracked panel or one section knocked loose | Damage covering large areas |
| Matching | Panels are still available to match | Panels are discontinued and hard to match |
| Sheathing | Wall behind the siding is sound | Sheathing shows water damage |
| Storm damage | A few panels knocked off in a major storm | Panels come loose even in moderate weather |
Local weather
Why installation method matters here
Louisiana's climate puts demands on siding that much of the country never sees. The install is what makes the difference.
Humidity
Siding that traps moisture against the wall leads to rot and mold, so ventilation and drainage behind the panels are critical.
Heat and UV
Vinyl expands and contracts through the day, and correct nail placement and spacing keep it from buckling or pulling away.
Wind
Fastener patterns rated for local wind and products designed for high-wind zones give the best protection in hurricane season.
No siding is hurricane-proof, but quality products installed correctly perform well in most Southeast Louisiana storms.
How it works
Five steps to a finished exterior
Every vinyl job follows the same clear sequence, with updates from start to finish.
- 01
Site visit and estimate
We evaluate your siding and walls, talk through your goals and give you a written estimate for the full scope.
- 02
Material selection
You choose from panel profiles, color samples, thickness grades and trim options.
- 03
Preparation
We set up the work area, protect landscaping and walkways, remove the old siding and fix any wall issues.
- 04
Installation
Panels go up from the bottom row to the top, then trim goes around windows, doors and corners, with soffit and fascia along the roofline.
- 05
Inspection and cleanup
We check alignment and fastening, haul away all debris and do a final walkthrough with you.
Cost
What shapes the cost of vinyl siding
Every home is different, so we price from what we find. These five factors move the number most.
1
Home size and layout
Complex rooflines, multiple stories and many windows mean more cutting and trim work.
2
Siding grade and thickness
Premium grades are thicker, more impact-resistant and more realistic, and the difference adds up across a whole house.
3
Old siding removal
Tear-off adds labor, especially when the existing siding contains materials that need special handling.
4
Wall repairs
Damage found once the old siding comes off has to be fixed before new panels go up.
5
Extra features
Soffit replacement, fascia wrapping and decorative gable accents add to the scope.
Your estimate breaks down each line item, so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.

Questions
Vinyl siding questions
Care, performance and timelines, answered plainly.
How long does vinyl siding last in the New Orleans climate?
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 20 to 40 years, depending on the product grade, installation quality and exposure to direct sun and storms. Thicker premium panels tend to last longer.
Is vinyl siding wind-resistant enough for hurricane season?
Vinyl rated for high-wind zones can handle sustained winds of 110 mph or more, depending on the product. Correct fastener spacing matters just as much as the rating.
Does vinyl siding improve energy efficiency?
On its own it adds weather protection but limited insulation. Insulated vinyl products with a foam backing can improve thermal performance, so ask about them at your consultation.
Does vinyl siding need to be painted?
No. The color is built into the material. You can repaint vinyl with paints formulated for it, but that adds the upkeep vinyl was designed to avoid.
How do you clean vinyl siding?
A garden hose and a soft brush handle most dirt. For mildew or stubborn stains, use water with mild detergent. If you pressure wash, keep the pressure low and aim downward so water is not forced behind the panels.
Can new vinyl siding go over existing siding?
Sometimes, if the existing surface is flat, sound and free of moisture problems. Going over damaged or uneven walls traps moisture, so we inspect first and recommend the right approach.
How long does a vinyl siding installation take?
Most residential projects take one to two weeks, depending on the size of the home, the prep work and the weather. You get an estimated timeline at your consultation.
