Tell us what you need and we will connect you with a licensed siding contractor who works in Grand Rapids and across Kent County. Expect a call back, a visit to see the house, and a written quote.
We are a lead referral service, not a contractor. Free, no-obligation quotes.
Each of these is priced after a visit, and the price is written down.
Where most re-siding budgets start: the lowest price of the common sidings, and washed rather than painted.
Heavier boards from James Hardie and others, painted, and priced above vinyl.
LP SmartSide and similar boards: the look of wood for less than fiber cement.
Vinyl with foam bonded behind it, or foam board under the siding, for a warmer, quieter wall.
Hail and wind damage: panels replaced and matched as closely as the product allows.
Which siding suits a house comes down to the house itself and what you want to spend. Vinyl costs least and is the simplest to patch. Fiber cement is the most expensive of the three and is painted; engineered wood falls in between. Whatever the product, a careful install and basic upkeep do as much for its life as the material does.
Grand Rapids' housing is old: the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey puts the median year built at 1953, and 38 percent of homes were built before 1940. Age shapes a siding job in two ways. NAHB's study of home component lifespans rates vinyl, fiber cement and engineered wood siding to last as long as the house, but trim about 25 years and exterior paint 15 years or more, so on an older house the trim and paint can be due before the siding is. Houses built before 1978 fall under the EPA's lead renovation rule when painted siding or trim is disturbed, and the work has to be done by a certified firm.
Call, or use the form to tell us about the house. A photo or two helps.
A licensed siding contractor who works locally calls you, usually the same day, with the questions a quote depends on.
They see the house in person and write down the scope, the product and the warranty before anything is agreed.
You owe nothing. Set it beside any other quotes and go with the one you trust.
Describe the house and what you want done, and a licensed siding contractor who works in Grand Rapids will call to set up a visit. Siding is priced from measurements taken on site, so the number comes after that visit.
