Enclosed Porch in Greystone Hoover

Greystone

An existing stamped-concrete patio on this single-story white brick home in the Greystone neighborhood of Hoover served as the foundation for a new enclosed porch addition. Structural wooden framing was erected directly over the patterned concrete surface, tying the new hip roof structure directly into the home's existing roofline. Large rough-openings were framed into the walls to accommodate future window installations. After sheathing the exterior in protective house wrap, a siding installation was completed to finish the outer walls. Additionally, a roof replacement utilized matching gray architectural shingles to seamlessly blend the new addition with the rest of the residence.

The project involved a full roof replacement using dimensional grey shingle roofing across the expansive, multi-gabled structure.

Exterior Painting and Deck Rebuild on Woodmere Dr, Vestavia Hills, AL

Woodmere Dr

5.0 (1 review)

An elevated backyard on Woodmere Dr in Vestavia Hills was updated with a newly rebuilt outdoor staircase and landing. Built using pressure-treated lumber, the structure incorporated sturdy handrails, square balusters, and clean wooden treads. The vertical support posts were anchored securely on concrete footings to stabilize the stairs along the sloped terrain. At the top of the stairs, the new wood decking transitioned directly into the home's existing dark-painted deck framework. This project demonstrates the structural details involved in custom decks designed for sloping lots.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Birmingham Home Needs New Siding

Don't wait for water damage to reveal failing siding. If you spot any of these warning signs, it may be time for siding repair or full replacement.

Warping or Buckling

Panels pulling away from the wall indicate moisture damage or improper installation that needs immediate attention.

Rot or Soft Spots

Soft, spongy areas—especially near the ground—signal wood rot that can spread to your home's structure.

Rising Energy Bills

Old or damaged siding loses insulation value. If your HVAC costs keep climbing, failing siding may be the culprit.

Mold, Mildew or Fungus

Growth on or under siding means moisture is getting trapped—a sign your siding barrier has failed.

Got Questions?

Siding Installation Cost & Material FAQs

01How much does vinyl siding cost to install?
Vinyl siding installation cost typically ranges from $4 to $8 per square foot installed, or $8,000 to $16,000 for a standard 2,000 sq ft home in the Birmingham area. This includes materials, labor, old siding removal, and house wrap. Premium vinyl with insulated backing costs slightly more but delivers better energy efficiency and impact resistance.
02How much does Hardie board siding installation cost?
Hardie board siding installation cost averages $10 to $16 per square foot installed. For a typical Birmingham home, expect $20,000 to $35,000 for a full fiber cement siding replacement. The higher cost reflects the premium material, specialized installation techniques, and the 50+ year lifespan you get in return.
03What is the best siding for a house in Alabama?
The best siding for an Alabama home depends on your priorities. Vinyl siding offers the best value—affordable, maintenance-free, and moisture-resistant. Fiber cement (James Hardie) is the best overall for longevity, fire resistance, and premium appearance. Insulated siding is best if reducing energy bills is your top priority. We help you choose the right material during your free consultation.
04How long does vinyl siding installation take?
Most vinyl siding installation projects take 3 to 5 days for an average-sized home. Hardie board siding installation takes longer—typically 5 to 10 days—due to the material's weight and specialized cutting requirements. Multi-story homes or complex designs may add 1-2 additional days.
05Can you install siding over existing siding?
While possible in some cases, we generally recommend removing old siding during a siding replacement. This allows us to inspect and repair sheathing, install updated house wrap, and ensure a proper moisture barrier. Layering siding can trap moisture and void manufacturer warranties.
06What is the siding replacement cost for a 2,000 sq ft house?
Total siding replacement cost for a 2,000 sq ft home ranges from $8,000 (vinyl) to $35,000 (fiber cement) including tear-off, disposal, materials, and professional installation. Factors that affect price include number of stories, trim/fascia needs, and any structural repairs discovered during removal.
07Is fiber cement siding worth the extra cost?
Yes, fiber cement siding offers the best long-term value. While the upfront fiber cement siding cost is 2-3x vinyl, it lasts 50+ years (vs 20-40 for vinyl), is fireproof, termite-proof, and rot-proof. It also recoups approximately 80% of its cost at resale—the highest ROI of any siding material.
08What siding should I avoid on my house?
Avoid cheap builder-grade vinyl (thin panels that crack and fade quickly), synthetic stucco (EIFS) without proper drainage in humid climates, and untreated wood siding unless you're committed to annual maintenance. In Alabama's climate, moisture resistance should be your #1 priority.
09How do I choose a siding contractor in Birmingham?
Look for a licensed Alabama home builder (not just a general contractor), verify insurance, check for manufacturer certifications (James Hardie Elite Preferred, CertainTeed Master Craftsman), and read recent local reviews. A quality siding contractor will provide a written estimate with material specs—never pressure you into a decision.
10What color siding has the best resale value?
Classic neutrals like white, light gray, and warm beige consistently deliver the best resale value. Deep navy and charcoal gray have emerged as modern staples that pair well with white trim. Avoid trendy colors that may date your home—when in doubt, bring samples and test them against your roof, trim, and landscaping.
11What warranty do you provide on siding installation?
We back every siding installation with a 3-year workmanship warranty covering any installation-related issues. You also receive the full manufacturer warranty—typically 30-50 years for vinyl and a lifetime transferable warranty for James Hardie ColorPlus products.
12Does new siding increase home value?
Absolutely. New siding is consistently ranked among the highest-ROI home improvements. Vinyl siding replacement recoups about 70% at resale, while fiber cement siding returns approximately 80%. Beyond the financial return, new siding improves curb appeal, energy efficiency, and eliminates ongoing repair costs.
