Siding Services

Fiber cement and insulated vinyl siding are top choices for central Iowa. Fiber cement resists Iowa's temperature swings, won't rot or warp, and handles hail well. Insulated vinyl offers excellent energy efficiency and lower cost. We assess your home's specific needs, budget, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best fit.

Siding costs in the Des Moines metro vary by material: vinyl runs $6-$12 per square foot installed, fiber cement $10-$15, and engineered wood $8-$14. A typical 2,000 square foot home costs $15,000-$35,000 depending on material choice and trim work. We provide free detailed quotes with no hidden fees.

Quality vinyl siding lasts 30-40 years in Iowa with minimal maintenance. Fiber cement can last 50+ years and handles our freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well. Engineered wood typically lasts 20-30 years. Proper installation is key—we ensure correct overlap, flashing, and ventilation to maximize lifespan.

For many Iowa homeowners, yes. Fiber cement handles hail and extreme temperatures better than vinyl, doesn't melt near grills, and offers authentic wood-look textures. It also carries better fire resistance. If you plan to stay in your home long-term, fiber cement's durability often justifies the higher upfront cost.

Yes, we commonly replace soffit and fascia during siding projects. These components are critical for proper ventilation and protecting your roof edges. Mismatched or damaged soffit and fascia stand out on a fresh siding job, so we recommend addressing everything together for best results.

Sometimes, but we generally recommend removal. Installing over old siding can hide moisture damage, add unnecessary weight, and create uneven surfaces. Removing old siding lets us inspect sheathing, add proper moisture barriers, and ensure a flat, lasting installation.

Classic whites and grays remain popular in Urbandale and Johnston. Warm earth tones and modern charcoals are trending in newer Waukee and Grimes developments.
