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 home.

Fiber Cement

We install and work with fiber cement siding, including James Hardie products. It is available in several profiles, textures, and colors, making it a versatile option for different home styles.

Fiber cement is also known for its durability and resistance to fire, pests, moisture, and severe weather. Proper installation is important for long-term performance and manufacturer warranty requirements.

Vinyl

Vinyl siding is affordable, low maintenance, and available in many colors and profiles. It does not require routine painting and works well for many Urbandale 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 when preserving architectural character is important.

Wood requires ongoing maintenance to limit moisture intrusion, peeling, and deterioration. Proper sealing and installation can help extend its service life.

Accent

Accent siding adds contrast to gables, dormers, entryways, and other architectural features.

Shakes can create a more detailed appearance. Vertical panels can give the home cleaner lines and a more modern design.

Every transition must connect correctly with the surrounding siding. Poor transitions can create vulnerable areas where water enters the wall system.

Lap

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

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

Board and Batten

Board and batten siding uses strong vertical lines that can make a home appear taller.

This style is popular on modern farmhouse and transitional homes. It can cover the entire exterior or highlight selected areas.

Careful alignment is important because uneven spacing becomes easy to notice across larger walls.

Local Family-Owned Company

Handeland Construct LLC is a family-owned siding company serving Urbandale and nearby Central Iowa communities.

Urbandale has a mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments. That means we work on everything from aging wood and vinyl siding to modern homes with multiple siding profiles and detailed trim.

Each exterior faces different problems based on its age, materials, installation, and weather exposure. Older siding often develops cracks, fading, loose sections, or gaps around windows. Newer siding can also fail when fastening, flashing, or moisture-control details were installed incorrectly.

Our team regularly finds hail impact, loose panels, cracked siding, deteriorated trim, and moisture entry around windows. We inspect the entire system before recommending repairs or full home siding replacement.

Is It Time for Repair or Replacement Siding?

Urbandale siding must withstand hail, strong winds, humidity, temperature swings, and repeated freeze cycles. The extent of the problem is usually determines which option makes better financial sense.

Signs a Repair Is Usually Enough

  • Affected area is limited to several cracked, loose, or missing panels.
  • Hail marks are cosmetic and have not compromised the integrity.
  • 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 exterior walls.
  • Large sections show fading, warping, cracking, or impact issues.
  • Siding is pulling away from the house in several locations.
  • Wood 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 areas often allow water behind the exterior before the issues become obvious.

Our inspections examine 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 siding offers better long-term value, we will explain the conditions behind that recommendation.
