We install vinyl siding in Kansas City and handle full siding installation in Kansas City from tear-off through trim and flashing. That includes exterior siding in Kansas City proper, plus siding for houses in North Kansas City and siding for a home in North Kansas City where older wood needs replacing outright.
Defends against weather
Boosts home value
Improved Energy Efficiency: Insulated siding options keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Low Maintenance: Spend less time painting and repairing, and more time enjoying your home.
Increased Home Value: A fresh, modern exterior significantly boosts resale value.
Kansas City puts siding through a harder year than most markets. Summer surface temperatures on a south or west wall regularly run far above the air temperature, winter brings freeze and thaw cycles that work moisture into any gap, and spring storms arrive with hail. Material choice matters less for how it looks on day one than for how it behaves in year eight.
The most common choice here. It does not rot, never needs painting, and handles our temperature swings without splitting. Insulated vinyl adds a rigid foam backer that stiffens the panel and removes the hollow sound.
Heavier, holds paint far longer than wood, and resists hail better than most alternatives. It is what we specify on exposed elevations that take the worst of a spring storm.
A genuine wood grain with far better moisture behaviour than cedar, provided the cut edges are sealed properly during installation. The look of wood without the annual maintenance.
We replace the whole envelope rather than the flat walls only, so the finish matches and there is no aged trim framing new siding.
A siding job is not a covering exercise. Going over failed siding hides the problem and traps the moisture that caused it. We tear off to the sheathing so the wall can be inspected, because that is the only point at which rot, pest damage and previous water intrusion are visible. Anything soft gets replaced before new material goes on.
House wrap goes on next, lapped correctly so water sheds outward rather than tracking behind it, then flashing at every window head, door and penetration. Most siding failures we are called out to fix are not siding failures at all, they are flashing details that were skipped. Panels then run with the correct expansion gap, because vinyl nailed tight will buckle the first hot week in July.
A cracked panel or two is a repair. The signals below usually mean the wall assembly behind the siding is already involved, and patching the surface only delays the real work.
We do not publish square foot pricing, because a number without a walkthrough is a guess that helps nobody. What we can tell you is what actually moves the figure, so you can read any quote you receive, ours included, with a clearer eye.
Most single family homes in the metro run three to five working days once material is on site. Larger homes, two story elevations and jobs that uncover significant sheathing damage take longer, and we will tell you the day we find it rather than at the end.
Yes, with adjustments. Vinyl becomes more brittle in deep cold and needs a slightly different expansion allowance, so the crew changes how panels are cut and fastened. We do not install in active precipitation, because the wall should never be left open to weather overnight.
On its own, siding is a rain screen rather than an insulator, so the honest answer is that the gain is modest. Where homeowners see a real difference is insulated vinyl combined with sealing the air leaks we find once the old material is off. The air sealing usually does more than the panel.
We do. Across Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa and most newer Lee's Summit subdivisions an exterior colour and material change needs an architectural review before work starts. We prepare the submittal with product data and colour samples so it is not sitting on your kitchen table.
We stop, photograph it, and show you before anything is covered back up. Sheathing replacement is priced separately because there is no honest way to quote it blind, and burying it would simply hand the same problem to the next owner.
