Hear from Our Customers
Your home faces unique challenges on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Salt air, humidity, temperature swings, and storms demand siding that can handle it all. When we install your new siding, you’re getting materials and techniques specifically chosen for this climate.
You’ll notice lower energy bills almost immediately. Properly installed siding creates better insulation and eliminates air leaks that force your HVAC system to work overtime. Many of our West River clients see 15-20% reductions in heating and cooling costs.
The curb appeal boost is immediate and lasting. Fresh siding transforms how your home looks and feels, while protecting your investment for decades. No more worrying about peeling paint, warped boards, or storm damage repairs.
We’ve been protecting Eastern Shore homes for over 30 years. We’re not just another contractor – we’re GAF Master Elite certified, ranking us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide.
What that means for you: enhanced warranties, proven installation standards, and the backing of North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. We’ve earned this certification through consistent quality work, proper licensing, comprehensive insurance, and ongoing professional training.
As a family-owned business, we understand that your home is your biggest investment. We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time, right here in communities like West River, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding and home exterior. This helps us identify any underlying issues like moisture damage, insulation problems, or structural concerns that need attention before installation begins.
Next, we’ll walk you through material options that make sense for your home and budget. Vinyl offers low maintenance and great value. Fiber cement provides superior durability and fire resistance. Wood gives you that classic Eastern Shore charm. We explain the pros and cons honestly so you can make the right choice.
Installation day means professional crews who show up on time and respect your property. We protect landscaping, clean up daily, and handle all permits and inspections. Most residential siding projects are completed in 3-5 days, weather permitting.
After completion, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards and yours. Your warranty paperwork is ready, and we’re always available if you have questions down the road.

Our siding services go beyond basic installation. We handle storm damage repairs, working directly with insurance companies to streamline your claim process. Many West River homeowners don’t realize their insurance covers siding damage from wind, hail, and other weather events.
Energy efficiency upgrades are included in every installation. We install proper house wrap and insulation behind your new siding, creating a thermal barrier that keeps your home comfortable year-round. This attention to detail separates professional installation from quick fixes.
Material selection matters in Maryland’s climate. We stock premium vinyl siding that resists fading and cracking, fiber cement that won’t rot or warp, and cedar siding that naturally repels insects. Each material is chosen specifically for Eastern Shore conditions – high humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations that can destroy inferior products.
Regular maintenance programs keep your investment protected. We offer annual inspections, cleaning services, and minor repairs that prevent small issues from becoming major problems.
Fiber cement and high-quality vinyl siding perform best in West River’s coastal environment. Fiber cement resists moisture, salt air, and temperature changes without warping or rotting. It’s also fire-resistant and can withstand high winds common during storms.
Premium vinyl siding with proper backing and insulation also works well here. The key is choosing thicker gauge vinyl (0.046″ or higher) with lifetime fade warranties. Cheaper vinyl will become brittle and discolored within a few years in this climate.
Wood siding can work but requires significant maintenance in coastal areas. Cedar is your best option if you prefer natural wood, as it naturally resists moisture and insects better than other wood species.
Siding installation costs vary based on your home’s size, material choice, and complexity of the job. For a typical 1,500 square foot home in West River, expect to invest $12,000-$25,000 for quality installation.
Vinyl siding typically runs $8-$12 per square foot installed. Fiber cement siding costs $12-$18 per square foot. Wood siding ranges from $15-$25 per square foot depending on the species and style chosen.
These prices include removal of old siding, house wrap installation, trim work, and cleanup. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their insurance may cover siding replacement if storm damage is involved.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to help homeowners navigate storm damage claims. This is one of the most valuable services we provide, as insurance claim processes can be confusing and time-consuming.
We document all damage with detailed photos and measurements that insurance adjusters need. Our estimates are written in the format insurance companies expect, which speeds up approval. We can also meet with adjusters on-site to explain the scope of necessary repairs.
Many West River homeowners don’t realize that insurance covers more than just obvious damage. Wind damage, hail impacts, and even gradual damage from storms may be covered under your policy. We help identify all covered damage to ensure you receive fair compensation for repairs.
Most residential siding installations in West River take 3-5 working days to complete, depending on home size and weather conditions. Larger homes or complex architectural features may require additional time.
We always provide realistic timelines during your estimate. Weather delays are common in Maryland, especially during winter months or hurricane season. We’ll keep you informed of any schedule changes and work efficiently when conditions allow.
Preparation work like removing old siding and installing house wrap typically takes 1-2 days. Siding installation and trim work follows, with final cleanup and inspection on the last day. We never rush quality work to meet arbitrary deadlines.
Maintenance requirements depend on your siding material choice. Vinyl siding needs only annual washing with soap and water to maintain its appearance and warranty coverage. A garden hose and soft brush handle most cleaning needs.
Fiber cement siding requires repainting every 10-15 years, but it’s otherwise very low maintenance. Annual inspections help identify any caulk joints that need refreshing around windows and doors.
Wood siding demands the most attention – annual cleaning, inspection for insect damage, and repainting or staining every 3-5 years. However, properly maintained wood siding can last 50+ years and adds significant value to your home.
Yes, we are fully licensed by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (License #140145) and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. You can verify our licensing status through the state’s website.
Our GAF Master Elite certification requires maintaining proper licensing, insurance, and bonding at all times. This certification is renewed annually and includes background checks on all company principals.
We provide certificates of insurance to all customers before work begins. This protects you from liability if accidents occur on your property. Many contractors operate without proper insurance, leaving homeowners exposed to significant financial risk.
