Hear from Our Customers
You get real protection from Maryland’s brutal weather swings. Your energy bills drop because your home isn’t bleeding heat through gaps and cracks anymore.
The constant maintenance headaches disappear. No more scraping, painting, or patching every few years because quality materials actually hold up.
Your home value increases significantly. Well-installed siding typically returns 70-80% of its cost when you sell, making it one of the smartest investments you can make for your Eastern Shore property.
We’ve been protecting homes in Friendly and throughout Talbot County since before most siding companies even existed. We’re not just another contractor passing through.
As a family-owned business, we understand what Eastern Shore weather does to homes. The humid summers, the ice storms, the constant temperature swings that make inferior siding fail within a few years.
That’s why we became GAF Master Elite certified contractors, putting us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. It means we can offer you warranties and protection that most companies simply can’t match.
First, we inspect your current siding and assess what’s really needed. No inflated estimates or unnecessary work. We’ll tell you if repairs might buy you more time or if replacement is your best option.
Next, we help you choose materials that make sense for your specific situation. Vinyl for low maintenance, fiber cement for maximum durability, or wood for traditional appeal. Each has advantages depending on your priorities and budget.
Installation happens efficiently with our experienced crew. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you informed throughout the process. Most residential jobs complete within a few days, weather permitting.
Ready to get started?
You get proper preparation work that most contractors skip. We address any underlying moisture issues, replace damaged sheathing, and ensure your home is ready for decades of protection.
All trim work is included to give you a complete, finished look. New corner boards, window trim, and fascia work that matches your siding perfectly and seals properly against Maryland’s weather.
We handle the insurance paperwork if your siding damage is storm-related. Most homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers more than they think, and we’ll work directly with your adjuster to ensure you get what you’re entitled to.
Most residential siding installations in Friendly take 3-5 days, depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can affect timing since we won’t install in rain or extreme conditions.
We start early and work efficiently, but we don’t rush quality work. Proper preparation and attention to detail during installation prevent problems that could cost you thousands later.
If we’re also addressing underlying issues like damaged sheathing or moisture problems, add another day or two. It’s better to fix everything right the first time than deal with callbacks and warranty issues.
Vinyl siding performs exceptionally well here because it handles Maryland’s temperature swings without cracking or warping. It never needs painting and carries warranties up to 40 years.
Fiber cement siding offers maximum durability against our humid summers and harsh winters. It’s impervious to moisture, salt air, and pest damage, making it ideal for Eastern Shore conditions.
Wood siding still works if you’re committed to maintenance, but it requires regular staining or painting every 4-5 years. Most busy homeowners prefer the low-maintenance options that perform better long-term.
Yes, but the savings depend on your current siding’s condition and what you choose for replacement. Properly installed siding with good insulation creates a better thermal barrier.
Insulated vinyl siding provides the biggest energy efficiency improvement. The foam backing eliminates thermal bridging and reduces air infiltration that drives up heating and cooling costs.
Most homeowners see 10-15% reductions in energy bills, sometimes more if their old siding had significant gaps or damage. The savings add up over time, especially with Maryland’s extreme seasonal temperatures.
Residential siding installation typically ranges from mid-to-high five figures, depending on your home’s size, material choice, and any underlying repairs needed.
Vinyl siding costs less upfront but provides excellent long-term value. Fiber cement costs more initially but lasts longer and increases home value more significantly.
We provide free, detailed estimates with no pressure. Every home is different, and factors like accessibility, trim work, and existing condition affect pricing. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
No, siding replacement doesn’t require permits in Talbot County, which simplifies the process considerably. You can move forward without waiting for approvals or dealing with inspection delays.
However, if we discover structural issues that need repair, those might require permits. We’ll handle all paperwork and coordinate with county officials if needed.
This permit exemption is one advantage of working in Talbot County versus other Maryland jurisdictions. It means faster project starts and fewer bureaucratic delays.
We help you navigate the insurance claim process from start to finish. Most homeowners don’t realize how much storm damage their insurance actually covers.
We’ll inspect your property, document damage properly, and work directly with your insurance adjuster. Our experience with insurance companies means we know how to present claims for maximum coverage.
If your claim is approved, insurance typically covers the full replacement cost minus your deductible. We can often work with your deductible amount to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses while staying completely within legal guidelines.
