You’re not dealing with typical suburban weather patterns here on Tilghman Island. Between the Chesapeake Bay and Choptank River, your home gets hit with saltwater air, storm surges, and temperature swings that would destroy inferior siding in just a few years.
When we install your siding, you get materials and methods specifically chosen for Eastern Shore conditions. Your energy bills drop because your home isn’t fighting constant temperature fluctuations. Your insurance claims become a thing of the past because your exterior actually stands up to what nature throws at it.
Most importantly, you stop worrying every time storm season rolls around. Your siding becomes the barrier it’s supposed to be—not just decoration that fails when you need it most.
We’ve been protecting homes on Maryland’s Eastern Shore for over 30 years. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand what Tilghman Island weather really does to a home.
As a certified GAF Master Elite installer, we rank among the top 2% of roofing and siding contractors nationwide. That certification isn’t just a badge—it means enhanced warranties, proven installation methods, and the backing of the industry’s most trusted manufacturer.
We’ve seen Hurricane Isabel, countless nor’easters, and every weather pattern the Chesapeake Bay can dish out. Your home gets the benefit of that experience, plus the peace of mind that comes with working with a family-owned company that stakes its reputation on every job.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding and your home’s specific exposure to weather patterns. Tilghman Island homes face different challenges than inland properties, and your installation needs to account for that.
Next, we walk you through material options that actually make sense for your location and budget. We’re not trying to sell you the most expensive option—we’re recommending what will perform best against saltwater air, temperature swings, and storm conditions you’ll actually face.
Installation happens with crews who’ve been doing this work on the Eastern Shore for years. They understand proper flashing around windows, moisture barriers that work in humid conditions, and fastening methods that hold up to coastal winds. When we’re done, you get a complete walkthrough and all warranty information, so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.

Your siding options need to work with Tilghman Island’s specific conditions. Vinyl siding offers excellent value and low maintenance—crucial when you’re dealing with saltwater exposure that can corrode other materials. Fiber cement provides superior durability against storm damage and temperature extremes, making it ideal for waterfront properties.
Wood siding gives you that traditional Eastern Shore look, but requires specific treatment and installation methods to handle the humidity and salt air. We only recommend wood when you’re prepared for the maintenance requirements that come with coastal living.
Every installation includes proper insulation upgrades, moisture barriers designed for humid coastal conditions, and fastening systems rated for high winds. We’re not just replacing what was there—we’re upgrading your home’s defense against the weather patterns you actually experience living between the Bay and the Choptank River.
Fiber cement and high-quality vinyl siding perform best in Tilghman Island’s conditions. Fiber cement offers superior resistance to saltwater corrosion, storm damage, and temperature fluctuations—critical for waterfront properties. It won’t warp, crack, or fade like inferior materials.
Quality vinyl siding provides excellent value with minimal maintenance requirements, important when dealing with salt air that accelerates wear on other materials. We avoid cheap vinyl that becomes brittle in temperature swings and recommend only manufacturer-backed products designed for coastal applications.
Wood siding can work but requires specific treatment for salt air exposure and regular maintenance to prevent moisture damage. Most homeowners prefer the durability and lower maintenance of fiber cement or quality vinyl for Eastern Shore conditions.
Siding installation typically ranges from $8,000 to $18,000 for most Tilghman Island homes, depending on size, material choice, and any repairs needed before installation. Vinyl siding installations generally fall in the lower end of that range, while fiber cement installations cost more upfront but offer better long-term value.
Several factors affect your final cost: current siding removal, any structural repairs needed, insulation upgrades, and the specific challenges of your home’s exposure to weather. Waterfront properties often require additional moisture barriers and specialized fastening systems.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or change orders during installation. Many homeowners find the investment pays for itself through reduced energy bills and eliminated storm damage repairs over time.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and use the same estimating software they use. We’ve helped hundreds of Eastern Shore homeowners navigate storm damage claims, especially after events like Hurricane Isabel and major nor’easters that regularly impact our area.
Our process includes thorough documentation of all damage, direct communication with your adjuster, and advocacy to ensure you receive fair coverage for necessary repairs. We understand exactly what insurance companies look for and how to present claims that get approved.
Most importantly, we handle the paperwork and follow-up so you can focus on getting your life back to normal. Our goal is to make the entire process as stress-free as possible while ensuring your home gets properly restored with materials that will withstand future storms.
Most siding installations take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can affect scheduling—we won’t install siding in high winds or heavy rain that could compromise the installation quality.
Tilghman Island’s location sometimes means adjusting schedules around severe weather warnings, but we plan installations during optimal weather windows when possible. We’d rather delay a few days than compromise the installation that protects your home for decades.
Preparation work like removing old siding and any necessary repairs happens first. The actual siding installation follows, with final inspections and cleanup completing the process. We keep you informed throughout and ensure minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Our GAF Master Elite certification provides enhanced warranty coverage that goes beyond standard manufacturer warranties. Material warranties typically range from 25 years to lifetime depending on the product chosen, while our workmanship warranty covers installation for multiple years.
Enhanced warranties through GAF cover both materials and labor, providing complete protection for your investment. This coverage is only available through certified contractors who meet strict standards for licensing, insurance, and installation quality.
We also provide detailed warranty documentation explaining exactly what’s covered, how to file claims if needed, and maintenance requirements to keep coverage valid. Most importantly, we’re local and will be here to honor warranty commitments—not a distant company that might disappear.
Yes, we provide comprehensive free inspections and detailed estimates for all Tilghman Island homeowners. Our inspection includes checking for storm damage, moisture issues, energy efficiency problems, and overall siding condition.
We examine not just the visible siding but also flashing, trim, and underlying moisture barriers that affect long-term performance. Many homeowners discover issues they weren’t aware of that could lead to expensive problems if left unaddressed.
Our estimates break down all costs clearly—materials, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. We explain your options without pressure tactics and help you make the decision that best fits your home’s needs and your budget. The inspection alone often provides valuable information about your home’s condition.
