Materials We Install and Repair

Different siding materials offer different benefits. The best option depends on your budget, preferred appearance, maintenance expectations, and the conditions surrounding your cladding.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement provides a solid cladding with clean lines and strong resistance to fire, pests, and severe weather.

James Hardie siding is available in several profiles, textures, and colors. Proper installation is essential for controlling moisture and protecting the manufacturer’s warranty.

Vinyl

Affordable, low maintenance, and available in many colors and profiles. It does not require routine painting and works well for many Des Moines homes.

Correct fastening allows the panels to expand and contract as temperatures change. Panels installed too tightly may buckle or develop visible waves.

Wood

Wood siding offers natural texture and a traditional appearance that manufactured materials cannot fully reproduce. It works especially well on homes where architectural character is a priority.

Wood requires regular maintenance to limit moisture damage, peeling, and deterioration. Proper sealing and installation help extend its service life.

Accent Siding

Accent home siding adds contrast to gables, dormers, entryways, and other architectural features. Shakes can create a more detailed appearance, while vertical panels provide a cleaner, more modern look.

Accents should connect correctly with the surrounding siding. Poor transitions can create weak points where water enters the wall system.

Lap Siding

Lap siding uses horizontal boards to create a familiar home style. It works with traditional, transitional, and modern home designs.

The overlapping profile helps move water away from the wall. Proper flashing remains necessary around windows, doors, rooflines, and exterior penetrations.

Board and Batten

Board and batten siding uses strong vertical lines to make a home appear taller. It is popular on modern farmhouse and transitional exteriors.

This style can cover the complete home or highlight selected exteriors. Careful alignment is important because uneven spacing becomes easy to see across large walls. Recent Projects

West Des Moines Trusted Contractors

Hiring a siding contractor should not feel like a gamble. You need a crew that communicates clearly, protects your property, and installs the complete siding system correctly.

We keep our service area homeowners informed throughout the project. Jason remains directly involved, and our crew maintains an orderly job site from the first day through the final cleanup.

Jason is hands on visiting the site every day. Very good at explaining each step and what would be done. He also listened to our ideas concerning design and made sure we were all in agreement. His crew is very detail orientated and have excellent skills. Cleanup was done daily. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. The James Hardie fiber-cement siding has a deep rich color. Neighbors have commented on how good the house looks. Worth the extra cost compared to vinyl. If we had another house we'd definitely hire Jason again.

The warmer temps caused some issues to my siding. I reached out to Jason at Handeland Construct LLC and had my siding fixed quickly. Communication with Jason was great. He is knowledgeable and friendly. It's great having a trustworthy, local business to work with. I'll be reaching out to Jason for future projects.

Local Family-Run Company

Handeland Construct LLC is a family-owned and trusted siding company with service areas in West Des Moines and nearby Central Iowa communities.

Local homes range from established properties with aging wood or vinyl siding to newer homes with several siding profiles and architectural details. Each home requires an inspection based on its materials, age, exposure, and current condition.

We regularly find hail strikes, loose panels, cracked siding, deteriorated trim, and moisture entry around windows. Our recommendations address those conditions instead of applying the same solution to every home.

Is It Time for Repair or Replacement?

West Des Moines siding must withstand hail, strong winds, humidity, temperature swings, and repeated freeze cycles. The extent of the damage usually determines whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense.

Signs a Repair Is Usually Enough

  • Damage is limited to several cracked, loose, or missing panels.
  • Hail marks are cosmetic and have not compromised the panels.
  • Moisture has not spread into the sheathing or surrounding materials.
  • Window trim, corner boards, and connections remain solid.
  • The remaining siding is relatively new and in good condition.
  • The problem has a clear cause that can be corrected during the repair.

Signs It Might Be Time to Replace

  • Repairs are becoming more frequent across different outside walls.
  • Large sections show fading, warping, cracking, or impact damage.
  • Siding is pulling away from the house in several locations.
  • Wood siding has widespread rot, peeling paint, or moisture damage.
  • Stains or soft materials appear around windows, doors, and trim.
  • Drafts, recurring odors, or unexplained moisture appear indoors.
  • Matching the existing material has become difficult or impossible.

The Part Most Homeowners Miss

Siding can look acceptable from the street while failing around windows, seams, corners, and roof-to-wall connections. These spots often allow water behind the exterior before the damage becomes obvious.

Our inspection examines those vulnerable details closely. We show you what we find and explain whether the problem calls for repair or replacement.

If a targeted repair can restore reliable protection, we will say so. If replacement offers better long-term value, we will explain the conditions behind that recommendation. Call today to arrange a meeting and free quote.
