A detailed proposal outlining materials, labor, and scope so you understand what drives cost. If underlying issues come up after old siding is removed, we explain options openly before moving forward.
Preparation & Protection
Landscaping, walkways, and surrounding areas are protected before work begins. Existing siding is removed carefully so we can inspect sheathing and framing underneath.

Your property is cleaned every day. Once the project wraps up, we walk the home with you, review details, and answer questions about care and maintenance.
