When your siding installation is done right, you stop worrying about storm damage and high energy bills. You get a home that looks great and performs even better.
Your new siding handles Maryland’s brutal summers and harsh winters without constant maintenance. No more scraping, painting, or replacing damaged boards every few years.
You’ll notice lower energy costs almost immediately. Quality siding installation creates a thermal barrier that keeps your home comfortable year-round while reducing strain on your HVAC system.
We’ve been installing siding for Maryland Eastern Shore homeowners for over three decades. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or national chain with local offices.
We’re a family-owned business that understands what Maryland weather does to homes. From the humid summers that reach 93°F to the storms that bring flooding rains and damaging winds, we know what your siding needs to handle.
Our GAF Master Elite certification puts us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. That means enhanced warranties, ongoing training, and the kind of standards that protect your investment for years to come.
First, we inspect your current siding and measure your home. We’ll show you exactly what needs attention and explain your material options – vinyl, wood, or fiber cement.
Next comes preparation. We remove old siding if needed, check for any structural issues, and install proper moisture barriers. This step matters because it prevents problems down the road.
Installation follows precise techniques we’ve refined over 30 years. Every piece is cut to fit, properly sealed, and secured to handle Maryland’s weather extremes. We clean up completely when we’re done.
You get a final walkthrough where we explain your warranty coverage and answer any questions. Most importantly, you get siding that will protect your home for decades.

We install vinyl siding that resists humidity and won’t warp in Maryland’s heat. It’s the most cost-effective option and comes in dozens of colors and styles that look like real wood.
Fiber cement siding offers superior durability against storms and fire. It’s perfect for Shady Side’s coastal location where salt air and high winds test every material. James Hardie fiber cement is our most popular premium option.
Wood siding gives you that classic look but requires more maintenance. We treat it specifically for Maryland’s climate to resist moisture, decay, and insects that thrive in our humid summers.
Every material we install meets local building codes and comes with manufacturer warranties. We’ll help you choose based on your budget, style preferences, and how much maintenance you want to handle.
Siding installation in Maryland typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 for most homes, depending on size and material choice. Vinyl siding is the most affordable option at around $4-8 per square foot installed.
Fiber cement costs more upfront but lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Wood siding falls in the middle but needs regular upkeep. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The final cost depends on your home’s square footage, current siding condition, and any prep work needed. Homes requiring structural repairs or insulation upgrades will cost more, but we’ll explain everything during your free estimate.
Vinyl and fiber cement perform exceptionally well in Maryland’s humid, storm-prone climate. Vinyl resists moisture and won’t rot, while fiber cement handles high winds and won’t burn in wildfires.
For coastal areas like Shady Side, we recommend materials that resist salt air corrosion. Fiber cement and quality vinyl both handle these conditions without deteriorating. Wood siding can work but needs special treatment and more frequent maintenance.
Climate matters because Maryland gets everything – tropical heat indexes over 90°F, flooding rains, ice storms, and high winds. Your siding needs to handle temperature swings from below freezing to near 100°F without cracking, warping, or failing.
Most siding installations take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Single-story ranch homes usually finish in 3-4 days, while two-story homes with detailed trim work take longer.
Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t install siding in heavy rain or high winds. Maryland’s summer thunderstorms sometimes cause short delays, but we work around the weather to keep projects moving.
We’ll give you a specific timeline during your estimate based on your home’s unique features. Homes needing extensive prep work or custom trim details take longer, but we’ll explain the schedule upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to make storm damage claims as smooth as possible. We document damage thoroughly and provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters understand and accept.
Our experience with Maryland storm damage means we know what insurance companies look for. We photograph everything, measure accurately, and explain why certain repairs are necessary for proper protection.
We handle the paperwork and communicate directly with your adjuster throughout the process. You don’t have to become an expert on insurance procedures – we guide you through each step and make sure you get fair coverage for necessary repairs.
Our siding installations come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee. Vinyl siding typically carries 20-30 year warranties, while fiber cement offers 30-50 year coverage depending on the product.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer enhanced warranties that cover both materials and installation. These extended warranties provide better protection than standard coverage and transfer to new homeowners if you sell.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years after completion. If something goes wrong due to our work, we fix it at no charge. We stand behind every installation because our reputation depends on your satisfaction.
Sometimes we can install new siding over existing materials, but it depends on the current condition and local building codes. Vinyl siding can often go over flat, solid surfaces like old wood or aluminum siding.
However, we usually recommend removing old siding first. This lets us inspect the underlying structure, add proper insulation, and ensure the new siding performs optimally. It also prevents thickness issues around windows and doors.
We evaluate each situation during our inspection and recommend the best approach for your specific home. While installing over existing siding costs less initially, removing old materials often provides better long-term results and allows for energy efficiency improvements.
