Siding Installation and Repair Built to Last

Siding replacement in Colorado costs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on material, home size, and complexity. James Hardie fiber cement is the most popular choice and typically runs $10 to $15 per square foot installed. Vinyl siding is less expensive at $5 to $8 per square foot. If your siding was damaged by hail or wind, your homeowners insurance typically covers the replacement cost minus your deductible.

Warping, cracking, fading, bubbling, or increased energy bills can all point to siding that is no longer performing. Other signs include mold or mildew growth, soft or rotting spots when you press on the siding, and paint peeling excessively despite recent painting. We offer free inspections to help you decide whether repair or replacement is the right move.

James Hardie fiber cement siding is our top recommendation for Colorado. It handles UV radiation, temperature extremes, and hail better than vinyl or wood.

We also install premium vinyl and engineered wood options for homeowners who prefer a different look or price point.

Fiber cement siding requires very little maintenance. An annual wash with a garden hose removes dirt and pollen. Inspect caulking around windows and trim every year and touch up any chipped paint. Vinyl siding needs even less, just periodic washing. Avoid pressure washing at high settings, which can force water behind the siding. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become expensive problems.

Homes with old, damaged, or poorly installed siding often have drafts and high energy bills. Modern siding systems create a tighter building envelope that keeps conditioned air inside and Colorado's extreme temperatures outside.
