Siding Installation and Replacement in Fulshear, TX

Siding problems often start small and stay hidden behind the surface. Walk around your home and look for:

• Boards that are warped, buckled or wavy, especially on sun-facing walls
• Cracks, chips or holes from hail, mowers or flying debris
• Soft or swollen areas near the ground, at window corners or under rooflines
• Paint that peels within a year or two of being applied
• Gaps at seams and trim where caulk has pulled away
• Mildew or stains on interior walls behind exterior surfaces

If damage is limited to a small area, a targeted repair may make sense. When problems show up on several walls, replacement is usually the better long-term choice.

We install two siding products that both perform well in Fort Bend County's heat and humidity. Each has its strengths:

James Hardie fiber cement

James Hardie siding is made from cement, sand and cellulose fibers. It is non-combustible, resists rot and termites, and holds paint well. It is heavy and rigid, which gives it a solid feel and a crisp, traditional look in lap, panel and shingle styles.

LP SmartSide engineered wood

LP SmartSide is engineered wood treated to resist moisture, fungal decay and termites. It is lighter than fiber cement, which can make installation faster, and it offers the warm look of real wood with deep texture. It is also more flexible, so it handles impacts differently.

The right choice depends on your home's style, your budget, your HOA's requirements and the look you want. We bring samples of both and explain the trade-offs honestly. More detail is on our siding installation page.

• Walk the exterior with you and note damaged areas, problem windows and roofline transitions
• Remove the old siding and inspect the sheathing and house wrap underneath
• Repair any rotted sheathing or framing before anything new goes on
• Install new weather-resistant barrier and flash windows, doors and penetrations
• Install siding and trim to the manufacturer's specifications, including required clearances from the roof and ground
• Caulk, finish, clean up and walk the completed home with you

We handle any permits your project requires and keep the home protected from weather throughout the work.

Most master-planned communities in and around Fulshear, including Weston Lakes, Cross Creek Ranch and Jordan Ranch, review exterior changes. Siding material, color and trim details may all need approval. Check your community's guidelines early, and let us know about any requirements so our proposal matches them. We can supply product specifications and color information for your submission.

Re-siding is a natural time to replace windows, since new flashing can be integrated cleanly with the new siding. It is also a good time to look at gutters, which protect your siding from overflow. If you are planning several improvements, our full exterior remodeling service can coordinate the work. If storm damage is involved, our team also offers insurance claim assistance.

Both fiber cement and engineered wood siding are low-maintenance, but they are not no-maintenance. A short routine keeps them looking good and performing well:

• Rinse walls once or twice a year with a garden hose and soft brush to remove dust, pollen and mildew
• Check caulk at windows, doors and trim joints each spring and touch up any gaps
• Keep sprinklers aimed away from the walls so siding is not soaked daily
• Maintain the recommended clearance between siding and soil, mulch or pavers
• Repaint according to the manufacturer's guidance when the finish begins to fade

It also pays to walk around the house after major storms. Hail and flying debris can chip or crack boards, and catching a damaged piece early keeps water from reaching the sheathing behind it. Small repairs are simple when the siding is still in good overall condition, and we can match replacement boards to your existing profile.
