We work on vinyl, wood, fiber cement, engineered wood and older aluminum siding, and we're licensed and insured, with over 10 years in business. Fort Collins freezes at night and thaws by afternoon for a good part of the year. Water that gets behind a cracked board or into an open seam can freeze and open it further, so a small repair is worth doing before it grows. Fort Collins also has more than 100 years of hail records. Hail falls a few days in most years, mostly in May and June, and usually lasts minutes. Even a short storm can crack vinyl, dent panels and chip fiber cement. Whether your house needs a few boards replaced or a whole new exterior, we'll take a look and give you a straight answer, with a real price range instead of "it depends." If you want to read up first, our siding guides [/guide/ →](/guide/) explain material choices in plain terms. ![Brick bungalow with lap siding on the gables and a front porch on a tree-lined street](/images/features/brick-bungalow-with-wood-lap-siding-on-the-gables-.webp) ## Siding Services for Every Situation From a few damaged boards to a whole new exterior: siding repair, siding replacement, fiber cement siding, engineered wood siding, vinyl, cedar siding, and the soffit and fascia above it all. 01 ### Siding Repair Cracked, loose, dented or missing pieces replaced and blended into the siding that's still sound.

We state the rules plainly so you know what applies to your house before any work starts. Fort Collins historic neighborhoods include Laurel School, with homes from the 1870s through the 1930s, Whitcomb Street, with 19th- and early-20th-century homes, and Sheely Drive, with mid-century modern homes. A house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review before re-siding, and in the parts of the city the state maps as wildfire interface, the wildfire code comes in once a quarter or more of the walls are re-sided. ![Older Fort Collins house with painted wood siding and trim on a tree-lined street](/images/features/historic-fort-collins-house-with-painted-wood-sidi.webp) ### Permits, with three exceptions In Fort Collins, replacing ordinary siding often needs no building permit, as long as the old siding comes off under the state's asbestos and lead paint rules. Three exceptions: new vinyl siding needs a permit and has to go over a fire-rated wall; a house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review first; and in the parts of Fort Collins the state maps as wildfire interface, re-siding a quarter or more of the walls brings in the wildfire code. ### Historic landmarks Designated historic landmarks in Fort Collins need the city's approval before siding, windows or paint change. ### Freeze-thaw Fort Collins freezes at night and thaws by afternoon for a good part of the year. Water that gets behind a cracked board or into an open seam can freeze and open it further. ### Hail records Fort Collins has more than 100 years of hail records. Hail falls a few days in most years, mostly in May and June, and usually lasts minutes. ### Laporte and the county code Since January 1, 2026, Larimer County's building code treats all of unincorporated Larimer County, Laporte included, as wildland-urban interface. Re-siding a quarter or more of the walls means fire-resistant siding on the whole house. ## How a Siding Job Goes The same steps whether it's a three-board repair or a whole-house re-side. ![House wall partway through siding work, new lap siding below and house wrap above](/images/features/house-wall-partway-through-siding-work-with-new-la.webp) 1. 1 ### Send the estimate form Tell us where the house is and what's going on with the siding. 2. 2 ### We look at the house We look at the siding, trim, soffit and fascia and any sign of water behind the boards. 3. 3 ### You get a scope and a price range A repair or re-side scope with the price range and your material options. 4. 4 ### Damaged siding comes off The wall behind it is checked, repaired where needed, and wrapped. 5. 5 ### New siding and trim go on New siding and trim are fastened and the edges are sealed. ## Not Sure If It's a Repair or a Re-Side?

All Guides [/guide/ →](/guide/) ### Insulated vs Standard Vinyl Siding Foam-backed or hollow vinyl panels? How insulated and standard vinyl siding differ in stiffness, feel against the wall, dents and fit at trim. Read the guide [Insulated vs Standard Vinyl Siding →](/guide/insulated-vs-standard-vinyl-siding/) ## Siding Questions We Hear Most Is it better to repair or replace siding? Repair is better when the damage is limited to a few pieces and the siding around them is sound; a few panels or boards runs $300 to $1,500. Replace when damage runs across whole walls, water has gotten behind the siding in many places, or matching pieces no longer exist. Will homeowners insurance cover siding repair? That's up to your homeowner's policy and your insurance company. Is it expensive to replace siding on a house? For a whole house, roughly 1,250 to 2,000 sq ft of wall with tear-off and new trim included, engineered wood siding runs $9,000 to $22,000 and fiber cement runs $15,000 to $30,000. What is the best siding for a house in Colorado? The best siding is the one that fits your house and the rules where you live. Fiber cement and engineered wood suit most houses and come in lap and panel styles that take paint well. Inside Fort Collins city limits, new vinyl needs a permit and a fire-rated wall behind it. Where the wildfire code applies, re-siding a quarter or more of the walls brings in that code, and a house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review first. ## Get Your FREE Estimate Tell us what is going on with your siding and where the house is.
