Siding Materials We Install and Repair

Not all siding holds up the same in Iowa weather. The best choice depends on what matters most to you, low maintenance, impact resistance, cost, or a specific look. For replacement siding, we install James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, premium vinyl, and wood siding.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement is a durable siding material that combines strength with a clean, modern look. Brands like James Hardie, a fiber cement siding are known for resisting fire, pests, and harsh weather, all while giving homeowners a long-lasting upgrade.

Vinyl

Vinyl is one of the most popular choices for exterior siding because it is affordable, low maintenance, and available in many colors. Our team installs and repairs vinyl that holds up well against Iowa’s changing seasons.

Wood

Wood siding offers timeless beauty and natural warmth. This option stands apart from many other products because it delivers authentic character that never goes out of style. With the right care, wood creates a siding style that feels classic and enduring.

Accent Siding

Accent siding adds texture and depth where you want the home to stand out, like gables, dormers, and entry walls. Shakes give a more detailed, coastal or cottage look. Board and batten gives a clean, modern style with strong vertical lines.

Lap Siding

Lap siding is the classic horizontal look that fits most home styles. It creates clean lines, sheds water well, and works great for complete replacements. It is also one of the easiest styles to keep looking sharp over time.

Board and Batten

Board and batten is a vertical style that gives the exterior a taller, bolder look. It is popular on modern, farmhouse, and transitional homes. It also works well as a full siding style or as an accent on sections of the home.

Is It Time for Siding Repair or Replacement?

In Des Moines, siding takes a beating from wind, hail, humidity, and freeze cycles. The trick is knowing when a repair is enough, and when the system is starting to fail.

Signs a Repair Is Usually Enough

  • Damage is limited to one area, like a few cracked or loose panels.
  • Hail marks are cosmetic, and panels are still tight and sealed.
  • Moisture is not spreading, and trim around windows and doors is still solid.
  • The siding still lies flat, with no widespread warping or buckling.
  • The rest of the exterior is in good shape, and the problem has a clear cause.

Signs It Might Be Time to Replace

  • You keep repairing the same spots, or new issues show up every season.
  • Multiple walls have damage, fading, waviness, or loose sections.
  • You see soft wood, peeling paint, or staining around windows, corners, or trim.
  • Siding is pulling away, swelling, or cracking in several areas.
  • Indoor clues show up, like drafts, higher energy bills, or recurring musty smells.

The Part Most Homeowners Miss

Some siding looks fine from the driveway but fails at the seams, behind trim, or around windows where water gets in first. That is why a proper inspection matters.

During our siding inspection, we will show you what we see up close, explain what it means for your home, and give you clear pricing for repair versus replacement. If a repair is enough, we will tell you. If replacement is the smarter long-term move, we will explain why so you can decide with confidence.
