Your home stops being a maintenance headache. No more worrying about moisture getting behind warped boards or watching your exterior fade after two seasons.
You get siding that actually does its job—protecting your biggest investment while looking good for decades. The kind of installation that makes your neighbors ask who did the work.
When it’s done right, you forget about your siding. It just works, year after year, through Maryland’s unpredictable weather patterns.
Bay Area Exteriors has been installing siding on Maryland’s Eastern Shore for over 30 years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation—we’re the contractors your neighbors recommend.
We’re GAF Master Elite certified, which puts us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. That’s not marketing speak—it means we meet the strictest requirements for licensing, insurance, and proven track record.
Stevensville homeowners know Maryland weather. You need siding contractors who understand what hurricane-force winds, brutal humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles do to inferior materials and poor installation.
First, we assess your current siding and discuss your goals. No high-pressure sales tactics—just honest evaluation of what your home needs and what makes sense for your budget.
We handle the permits and prep work. That includes properly removing old siding, addressing any underlying issues, and preparing the surface for installation. Shortcuts here cause problems later.
Installation happens with our own crews—not subcontractors. We use manufacturer-approved techniques and materials designed for Maryland’s climate. Every board goes on correctly, with proper spacing and fastening.
Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards and manufacturer requirements. You get documentation for warranties and insurance purposes.

Vinyl siding remains popular for good reason—it’s cost-effective and handles Maryland’s humidity well. We install premium grades that resist fading and cracking, not the thin stuff that fails after a few seasons.
Fiber cement siding, especially James Hardie, is engineered specifically for climates like ours. It won’t warp, rot, or attract termites. The factory-applied finishes resist fading better than field-applied paint.
Wood siding still has its place, particularly cedar. It requires more maintenance but offers unmatched natural beauty. We know how to install it properly so it lasts in our climate.
Each material has specific installation requirements. Stevensville’s proximity to the Chesapeake Bay means dealing with salt air and high humidity—factors that affect material selection and installation techniques.
Siding installation costs in Stevensville typically range from $8,000 to $25,000 for a typical home, depending on material choice and home size. Vinyl siding is the most budget-friendly option, while fiber cement and wood cost more upfront but offer better longevity.
Maryland labor costs run higher than national averages—expect $40-75 per hour for skilled installation. Complex homes with multiple stories or architectural details increase costs due to additional time and equipment needed.
The total includes materials, labor, permits, and disposal of old siding. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges after we start work.
Fiber cement siding, particularly James Hardie, performs best in Maryland’s challenging climate. It’s engineered to handle our humidity, temperature swings, and severe weather without warping, rotting, or pest damage.
James Hardie products are formulated for specific climate zones. Maryland falls into their HZ5 zone, which means the siding has enhanced moisture resistance and paint adhesion designed for our weather patterns.
Vinyl siding is also excellent for Maryland, especially premium grades with UV protection. It handles humidity well and won’t rot or attract pests. Wood siding can work but requires more maintenance due to our moisture levels and temperature fluctuations.
Most siding installations in Stevensville take 5-10 days, depending on home size and weather conditions. We don’t rush the job—proper installation takes time to do correctly.
Weather affects timing significantly. We won’t install during heavy rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises the installation quality. Maryland’s unpredictable weather sometimes means adjusting schedules, but it’s better than dealing with problems later.
Preparation work—removing old siding, making repairs, installing housewrap—often takes as long as the actual siding installation. This prep work is crucial for long-term performance, especially in our climate.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies for storm damage claims. We’ve helped hundreds of Eastern Shore homeowners navigate the claims process after hurricanes, hail storms, and severe weather events.
We document damage thoroughly and provide detailed estimates that insurance adjusters understand. Our experience with insurance work means we know what documentation they need and how to present it properly.
The process typically involves an initial assessment, meeting with the adjuster, and coordinating the work once the claim is approved. We handle the paperwork and communication so you can focus on getting your home restored.
Our siding installations come with comprehensive warranty coverage. Material warranties vary by manufacturer—James Hardie offers 30-year non-prorated coverage, while quality vinyl siding typically includes 20-40 year warranties.
We provide our own workmanship warranty covering installation defects. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we’re required to meet strict standards for warranty coverage and customer service.
Warranty coverage includes both materials and labor for covered defects. We handle warranty claims directly—no passing you off to manufacturers or third parties. Our reputation depends on standing behind our work.
We’re GAF Master Elite certified, which puts us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. This certification requires proven track record, proper licensing and insurance, and ongoing training—not just anyone qualifies.
Our 30+ years serving Maryland’s Eastern Shore means we understand local conditions. We know how salt air affects materials, what weather patterns to expect, and which installation techniques work best in our climate.
We use our own crews, not subcontractors. This means consistent quality and accountability. When you call with questions or concerns, you’re talking to the same company that did the installation.
