Siding Installation and Replacement
If you’re a homeowner, you know how important it is to maintain the condition of your home, especially the exterior. Well-kept siding helps protect your home from wear and tear from weather and preserves its beauty. Look for these signs when inspecting your home’s siding in order to determine whether or not it’s time to replace it:
Cracks & Holes indicate that you need to replace your siding as this makes your home more prone to mold and mildew caused by water damage.
Fading & Peeling occurs naturally as your siding is exposed to the sun and various elements. This can also happen gradually as your siding ages and is something to monitor as time goes on.
Age can also be an indication that your siding needs to be replaced. Just around the 15-20 year mark, siding begins to deteriorate depending on the material and overall maintenance, making it extremely important to inspect throughout the year.
Warping can be caused by water damage and is detrimental to the structure of your home if left untreated. Both warping and buckling can be signs that your siding is rotting and needs to be replaced.
High Energy Bills may be a sign that your home’s siding or insulation is wearing. This could be an indicator of the outside air creeping in through cracks or holes in your home’s insulation. Increase energy efficiency and save money by inspecting your siding and replacing any damaged or worn-out insulation.
Mold & Mildew occur when moisture is trapped behind your siding. As mentioned, this can be extremely damaging to the structure of your home and can lead to bigger issues such as rotting.
Replacing the siding on your home may seem like a big and expensive undertaking yet it’s an extremely important investment. Not only can it protect the value of your home, but updated siding can make or break the overall appearance of a house or building. Faded, warped, and buckled siding can make a structure look years older than it really is.

Did you know that replacing your single-pane windows with energy-efficient windows can save between $126–$465 a year on your power bill? We can help replace old drafty windows with new energy-efficient windows that will save you money and give your home a cozier feel.
The windows in your home bring in natural light, help with ventilation, and simply look beautiful, making them an integral part of your home. Central Oregon has such amazing scenery and taking in the views from your home is a luxury. Just like siding, your windows will naturally age and wear over time, which is why it’s important to look out for these signs in case they need to be repaired or replaced:
Drafts happen when your windows are not properly sealed, increasing energy bills and making it harder to create a comfortable environment in your home. This could mean that you may need to replace the weatherstripping and caulking around your windows.
Difficulty opening or closing your windows could be an issue with the window frame or general hardware. Warping, swelling, damage, or age can all make it challenging to open or close your windows and mean that they need to be replaced or repaired.
Condensation is another sign that the weatherstripping or caulk around your windows is not properly sealing them. Check for condensation in order to avoid a loss of energy efficiency and further damage to your windows.
Age, just like your siding, is another thing to monitor when considering new windows, and 15-20 years is also a good timeline to keep in mind.
Damage like cracked grass, chips, or broken hardware are signs that you need to repair or completely replace your windows. Not only does damage decrease the safety of your home, but it also affects energy efficiency and the overall comfort inside your home.
There are several styles of windows out there and we can help replace virtually any size or style of window in your home or upgrade your current windows to a different type that will fit your needs better.
Our specialties include:
- Single and Double-Hung Windows
- Casement Windows
- Awning Windows
- Sliding Windows
- Bay and Bow Window
- Garden Windows
- Fixed and Shape Windows
- Custom and Specialty
So, which to replace first, windows or siding? This can depend on a few factors. For example, if your siding is clearly rotting or molding, it’s important to handle this before working on the windows. If you notice gaps, holes, or larger cracks, go ahead and handle the siding before diving into the windows. Alternatively, if you see condensation in your windows, avoid further damage by replacing them first. If you’re having difficulty opening and closing them, replace them to keep your home safe, free of pests, and increase energy efficiency. We are happy to help you determine which one to tackle first!
In addition to siding and window replacement and repair, we are now offering roofing services and general exterior painting. Our team of experts can tear off old or damaged roofing and replace it. If you notice damaged, loose, or cracked shingles, algae or mold, or discoloration, these could all be signs that you need to replace your roof. Our climate here in Central Oregon can speed up the aging process of your home’s materials making it so important to keep an eye on its condition!
