When your siding is installed right, you stop losing sleep over water damage creeping into your walls. No more cringing at energy bills that spike because your home can’t hold temperature. No more weekend maintenance projects that eat up your free time.
Your home becomes the one neighbors admire instead of the eyesore on the block. Quality siding installation transforms tired, weathered exteriors into sharp, modern protection that actually works.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind that lasts decades. Your investment stays protected, your family stays comfortable, and your home value increases instead of declining year after year.
We’ve been protecting Riva homes and the greater Eastern Shore for over 30 years. We’re not another fly-by-night contractor—we’re your neighbors who’ve weathered every major storm and know exactly what this coastal climate does to homes.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we rank among the top 2% of contractors nationwide. This isn’t marketing fluff—it means we meet the industry’s strictest standards for licensing, insurance, and proven workmanship.
Riva homeowners trust us because we understand coastal living challenges. From salt air that corrodes inferior materials to storms that test every installation detail, we’ve seen it all and know how to build siding systems that actually last.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding and your home’s unique exposure challenges. No cookie-cutter estimates—we evaluate everything from wind patterns to existing structural issues that could cause problems later.
Next, we carefully remove old siding while checking for hidden damage like rot or insulation failures. If we discover issues, we address them before proceeding. This prevents the costly surprises that happen when contractors cut corners.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. Our factory-trained crews secure every piece properly and seal all penetrations. We don’t rush—quality installation takes time, and shortcuts always cost more in the long run.
Finally, we conduct a complete cleanup and walkthrough with you. You’ll see the transformation immediately—a home that looks refreshed and protected for the next 30+ years.

Vinyl siding dominates Riva installations because it handles everything Maryland’s coast throws at it. Modern vinyl resists salt air corrosion, won’t warp in humidity, and requires almost zero maintenance. You get wood’s appearance without wood’s headaches.
Fiber cement appeals to homeowners wanting maximum durability. It’s engineered to withstand hurricane winds and temperature extremes while maintaining appearance for 50+ years. Higher upfront cost, but many Riva homeowners consider the longevity worth every penny.
Wood siding still has devoted fans who prioritize authentic natural beauty. Cedar and engineered wood options complement Riva’s coastal aesthetic perfectly, though they require more maintenance in our salt air environment.
Every material we install comes with comprehensive manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee. We also handle all permits and ensure compliance with local building codes—details that matter when storms test your investment.
Most Riva siding installations take 3-7 days, depending on your home’s size and architectural complexity. A standard 2,000 square foot ranch typically wraps up in 4-5 days from tearoff to final cleanup.
Weather affects our timeline because we refuse to install siding in rain or high winds—it compromises quality and safety. Maryland’s coastal weather means we need flexibility, but we always communicate delays immediately and keep you informed.
Complex homes with multiple levels, dormers, or intricate architectural details require additional time. We’d rather take an extra day and deliver lasting quality than rush through and leave you with problems that surface later.
Vinyl and fiber cement both excel in Riva’s coastal conditions, but serve different priorities. Vinyl handles salt air and humidity without corroding, requires virtually no maintenance, and costs significantly less upfront.
Fiber cement offers superior wind resistance and longevity, often lasting 50+ years with minimal maintenance. It’s also fire-resistant and holds paint longer, making it ideal for homeowners prioritizing maximum durability over initial cost savings.
Wood siding creates stunning curb appeal but demands regular maintenance in coastal environments. If you love authentic wood character and don’t mind periodic staining or sealing, it remains viable. We help you weigh all factors based on your specific priorities and budget.
Riva siding installation typically ranges $8,000-$25,000 for average homes, varying by material choice and home size. Vinyl installations run $8,000-$15,000, while premium fiber cement ranges $12,000-$25,000.
Multiple factors influence final pricing: square footage, architectural complexity, material grade, and whether existing siding requires removal. Multi-story homes or those with extensive trim details cost more due to additional labor and safety requirements.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down every cost—materials, labor, permits, disposal, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Many homeowners find quality siding more affordable than expected, especially considering it’s a 30+ year investment.
Absolutely. We work directly with insurance companies to streamline storm damage claims and maximize your coverage. Our team documents damage thoroughly, provides comprehensive estimates, and communicates directly with adjusters throughout the process.
We understand exactly what insurance companies require and how to present claims for optimal approval rates. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of Eastern Shore homeowners get their storm damage fully covered.
The typical process involves initial damage assessment, claim filing assistance, adjuster meetings, and repair coordination once approved. We handle the paperwork and insurance communication so you can focus on getting your home properly restored.
We provide comprehensive protection through both manufacturer material warranties and our own workmanship guarantee. Material warranties vary by brand—vinyl typically includes 30-50 year coverage, while fiber cement often provides 50+ year protection.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation quality for 5 full years. If any installation-related issues develop, we return to correct them at no charge. This includes everything from loose panels to flashing problems.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty packages backed directly by the manufacturer. These provide additional protection and peace of mind that extends well beyond standard coverage options.
We install siding year-round in Maryland, though weather conditions determine our specific scheduling. Spring through fall provides optimal conditions, while winter installations proceed during suitable weather windows.
We never install during rain, snow, or when temperatures fall below manufacturer specifications. This protects both installation quality and crew safety. Most siding materials have specific temperature requirements for proper adhesion and performance.
For emergency storm damage, we can provide temporary protection and schedule permanent installation when conditions improve. We prioritize protecting your home immediately while ensuring the permanent solution meets our quality standards.
