How long does residential siding replacement take?

Most residential siding replacement projects are completed in 5–10 days depending on your home's size, complexity, and the siding material selected. We'll provide a specific timeline during your estimate.

What siding material do you recommend for Indianapolis homes?

For maximum durability and minimal maintenance, we recommend James Hardie fiber cement siding. It delivers 50+ year lifespan and handles Midwest weather exceptionally well. For budget-conscious homeowners, vinyl is a solid choice. LP SmartSide offers a good middle ground. We'll help you choose based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and willingness to perform maintenance.

How much does new residential siding cost in Indianapolis?

Siding costs vary significantly based on material choice, home size, and substrate condition. James Hardie fiber cement typically ranges from $12,000 to $30,000 for an average home. Vinyl runs lower, LP SmartSide and natural wood typically cost more. We provide free, no-obligation detailed estimates.

Is fiber cement siding worth the cost?

Yes, for most homeowners. While fiber cement costs more upfront than vinyl, its 50+ year lifespan, minimal maintenance, superior fire and pest resistance, and exceptional curb appeal justify the investment. You'll recoup much of the cost at resale and enjoy worry-free performance for decades.

Do you assist with siding insurance claims?

Yes. Our team documents hail, wind, and storm damage with detailed photos, meets with your insurance adjuster on-site, and works to ensure your claim accurately reflects the necessary repairs. There's no additional charge for this service.

Can you repair my siding instead of replacing it?

In many cases, yes. Our inspection determines whether targeted repairs can extend your siding's life or whether replacement is the better investment. We'll give you an honest recommendation with both options and pricing so you can make an informed decision.

Materials You Can Trust

Certified by the Best

We carry exclusive certifications from leading manufacturers.

Premium Material

James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding represents the gold standard in residential exterior materials. James Hardie products combine cement, wood fibers, and additives to create siding that delivers exceptional durability — 50+ year lifespan — without the maintenance demands of traditional wood. Unlike vinyl, fiber cement doesn't fade, dent, or soften in extreme heat, and it resists fire, rot, and pest damage inherently.

As a James Hardie Preferred Contractor, we're trained on every aspect of fiber cement installation, from substrate preparation and moisture management to fastening schedules and caulking protocols. We ensure your installation meets manufacturer specifications and qualifies for full warranty coverage. We offer the full range of James Hardie profiles including HardiePlank, HardieBoard, and HardiePanel for infinite design flexibility.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding remains a cost-effective choice for homeowners seeking an attractive exterior with minimal maintenance. Modern vinyl profiles mimic the appearance of wood clapboard, cedar shake, and even horizontal board textures while delivering true no-maintenance performance. Vinyl resists fading, won't rot or dent easily, and requires only occasional cleaning with a garden hose.

SPG installs premium vinyl siding systems with energy-efficient backing and reinforced profiles engineered for the temperature extremes Indiana homes experience. We source from respected manufacturers and focus on proper substrate preparation, flashing, and expansion gap management — details that determine whether your vinyl installation lasts 20 years or 40.

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood Siding

LP SmartSide offers a compelling middle ground between fiber cement and vinyl: the authentic wood appearance homeowners love with factory-applied borate treatment that resists insects and rot far better than traditional lumber. LP SmartSide is engineered for performance in humid climates and carries an impressive 40-year warranty against rot and insect damage when properly installed and maintained.

Installation of LP SmartSide requires attention to moisture barriers, fastening spacing, and field application of borate protection on cut edges — details we execute with precision. We help homeowners understand the long-term maintenance requirements (periodic repainting every 8-10 years) and ensure the siding is installed on homes with adequate drainage and ventilation to maximize lifespan.

Natural Wood Siding & Cedar Shake

For homeowners who value authentic wood character and are willing to invest in ongoing maintenance, SPG installs premium natural wood siding including clear pine, cedar clapboard, and hand-split cedar shake. These materials deliver unmatched visual warmth and can be stained or painted to any color imaginable.

Natural wood siding demands regular maintenance — typically repainting or re-staining every 5-7 years — and requires careful substrate preparation with weather barriers and drainage planes to prevent moisture intrusion. SPG's installation protocols prioritize these preventive measures, including proper spacing, flashing at transitions, and high-quality primer and finish paint selection to extend the beauty and lifespan of your natural wood exterior.

Siding Repair & Replacement

Not every siding issue requires full replacement. Our inspection team diagnoses the root cause of holes, cracks, moisture stains, insect damage, and storm damage, then recommends the most economical solution. When repair makes sense — replacing individual damaged boards, resealing joints, or addressing minor flashing issues — we fix only what's needed while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your home.

When replacement is the better long-term investment, we remove and haul away the old siding properly, inspect and repair any substrate damage (plywood, water barriers), install new siding with proper fastening and flashing, and finish with quality caulk and paint or stain. We handle every detail from permit to final cleanup, and can assist with insurance claims if your damage is storm-related.

What Our Customers Say

Margaret P.Indianapolis, IN

SPG installed James Hardie fiber cement siding on our 1980s home. The transformation is incredible — the house looks completely new. The crew was professional, on-time, and the workmanship is flawless. Highly recommend.

We replaced all our vinyl siding with LP SmartSide through SPG. They explained the maintenance requirements upfront, installed it beautifully, and stood behind their work. Three years in and it looks fantastic.
