Siding in Charleston, WV

Trusted Siding in Charleston

Multi-level and hillside homes change how siding has to be installed. Tall, exposed gable walls in South Hills take direct wind-driven rain, so fastening schedules, panel overlap, and flashing all have to be tighter than on a sheltered single-story house. We stage and scaffold these elevations properly rather than rushing them, because a corner cut three stories up is a leak no one finds until the drywall stains.

Charleston's housing runs from East End Victorians and Kanawha Boulevard Colonials to mid-century homes in Kanawha City. For the upscale and historic homes, James Hardie fiber cement is usually our recommendation — it delivers a substantial painted-wood look, resists the valley's humidity and temperature swings, and carries the longest residential warranty. Premium vinyl remains the most cost-effective choice, and LP SmartSide engineered wood bridges the two for owners who want real-wood character.

Before any new material goes on, we strip the old siding and inspect the sheathing underneath — and on the older East End and West Side homes we frequently find moisture damage that was invisible from the curb. We replace rotted sheathing, correct the house wrap, and re-flash windows and penetrations so the new wall starts dry.

Charleston's many rooflines, dormers, and porch tie-ins make the roof-to-wall connection the most important detail on the house. As a roofing company, we get the kick-out and step flashing right where slopes meet walls, integrate the siding cleanly with the drip edge, replace damaged soffit and fascia, and finish with a written workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer's material warranty.
