Siding
Siding Is the First Line of Defense and the First Thing People See
Exterior siding does two jobs at once. It protects the structure of your home from wind, rain, ultraviolet light, and temperature swings, and it defines the visual character of the entire property. A siding system that performs well can shed water away from the wall assembly, resist impact damage, and hold its color for decades. A siding system that fails allows moisture into the wall cavity, where it feeds rot, mold, and insect damage that stays hidden until the repair costs multiply.
At Reds Construction Inc., we treat siding as an engineered assembly rather than a surface finish. Every wall we clad involves a weather-resistant barrier, proper flashing at penetrations, correct fastener spacing, and expansion allowances matched to the material. When these layers work together, the finished wall breathes when it needs to, drains when it gets wet, and stays sealed against the elements. Reds Construction Inc. is your trusted home remodeling contractor, and we bring that same discipline to a siding replacement that we bring to a full home renovation.
The Siding Materials We Install
No single material is right for every home. The correct choice depends on your climate exposure, architectural style, maintenance expectations, and how long you plan to stay in the home. We help you weigh those factors honestly, then install the material with the precision it demands. Because we do not use subcontractors for our jobs, the crew that measures your walls is the same crew that hangs the final panel, and that continuity protects the quality of the work.
- James Hardie fiber cement: This engineered blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers resists fire, rot, and insect damage while holding paint far longer than wood. It is dimensionally stable, meaning it does not swell or shrink dramatically with humidity, and it stands up to harsh weather that would crack lesser materials.
- Vinyl siding: A cost-conscious option that never needs painting and comes in a wide range of colors and profiles. Modern vinyl includes insulated versions that improve the thermal performance of the wall and reduce noise transfer.
- Engineered wood: This gives you the warm, natural look of real wood grain with added resistance to moisture and pests, and it installs faster and lighter than solid lumber.
- Aluminum and steel: Metal cladding delivers a clean, modern line and excellent durability, making it a strong match for contemporary designs and homes in high-exposure locations.
Alongside the wall panels, we pay close attention to the soffit and fascia. Soffit closes the underside of your roof overhang and ventilates the attic, while fascia caps the roof edge and carries the gutter system. Neglecting these components leaves the wall assembly vulnerable at exactly the points where water tends to collect. We coordinate soffit, fascia, and siding as one continuous envelope so that nothing is left as an afterthought.
How We Approach a Siding Project
Our process starts long before the first panel goes up. We inspect the existing wall, identify any hidden damage, and confirm the condition of the sheathing underneath. Older siding often hides soft spots, previous water intrusion, or improperly flashed windows, and correcting those problems is part of doing the job right rather than simply covering them over.
The installation sequence follows a proven order that keeps water moving in the right direction:
- Tear-off and inspection: We remove the old material, examine the sheathing, and repair or replace any compromised areas before moving forward.
- Weather barrier and flashing: We apply a house wrap and integrate flashing at windows, doors, and all penetrations so water is directed outward and downward.
- Panel installation: We hang the siding with the correct fastener type, spacing, and expansion gaps required for the specific material to prevent buckling and cracking.
- Trim, soffit, and finishing: We complete corners, trim boards, soffit, and fascia to seal the envelope and give the home a clean, finished edge.

Homeowners come to us for many reasons. Some are correcting failing builder-grade siding that never sealed properly.

In each case, new siding improves energy efficiency, reduces maintenance, and raises curb appeal in a way few other exterior projects can match.
