New Orleans Siding
Siding installation in New Orleans: James Hardie fiber cement and vinyl siding, soffit and fascia, installed by the same crew as your roof so the whole exterior ties together.
Siding We Install in New Orleans
James Hardie fiber cement
Our first choice for New Orleans. It does not rot, warp or feed termites, holds paint for years and stands up to humidity and wind-driven rain. Lap siding, panels, shingles and Hardie trim.
Vinyl siding
The budget-friendly option. Never needs paint and comes in a wide color range. We install it with the right expansion gaps so it does not buckle in summer heat.
Soffit, fascia and trim
Rotten eaves are the most common thing we replace. New soffit with proper venting, new fascia, and trim that matches the house.
Rain screens and flashing
Behind the siding is where water damage starts. We flash windows and doors and use a drainage plane so the wall can dry.
5-year workmanship warranty. Every full-house siding install is covered for 5 years from completion, and it transfers to a new owner at no cost.

Siding and roofing together
Many of our siding jobs happen with a roof replacement. Doing them together means one crew handles the flashing where the roof meets the walls, and the soffit, fascia and gutters all tie in cleanly.
