Yes, we cover the entire "Three-C" region. From the historic streets of German Village (Columbus) and Over-the-Rhine (Cincinnati) to the suburbs of Kettering and Centerville (Dayton), our crews are locally based and familiar with the specific building codes and neighborhood styles in your area.

It depends on your municipality:

• Cincinnati: Siding replacement on standard 1-3 family homes often does not require a building permit, unless structural changes are made.

• Columbus & Dayton: Permits are generally required for exterior alterations.

• Historic Districts: If you live in a designated historic district (like the Oregon District or Victorian Village), a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) is strictly required before any work begins. We handle the permit application process for you to ensure full compliance.

Ohio weather is unique because we experience all four seasons intensely—freezing winters, hot/humid summers, and frequent storm cycles.

• Fiber Cement (Recommended): This is our top recommendation for Ohio. It is engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles without cracking and resists the rot caused by our humid summers.

• Vinyl: A cost-effective choice that performs well, though we recommend "insulated vinyl" to help combat energy loss during cold Columbus winters.

• Engineered Wood: Offers the look of cedar without the high maintenance, resisting the woodpecker damage often seen in wooded suburbs like Anderson Township or Dublin.

This is often caused by two things common in our area:

1. Thermal Expansion: Ohio’s temperature can swing 40° in a single day. If siding is nailed too tightly, it buckles when it tries to expand in the heat.

2. Reflected Heat: High-efficiency "Low-E" windows from neighbors can reflect intense sunlight onto your wall, melting standard vinyl. We can install heat-resistant siding options to prevent this.

We offer free inspections to determine this, but here are general guidelines:

• Repair: If you have minor wind damage (a few missing panels) or a small area of rot near a gutter.

• Replace: If you see widespread "wavy" panels (warping), cracked boards, or bubbles/blisters under the paint (a sign that water is trapped against your home's frame).

We do our best to match color and grain. However, siding fades over time due to UV exposure. For a seamless look on older homes, we may recommend "harvesting" siding from a less visible wall (like the back of the garage) to use for the repair, and then replacing the harvested area with new, closely matched siding.

Absolutely. We are experienced in navigating the Historic Architectural Review Boards in Cincy, Dayton, and Columbus.

• Material Restrictions: Most historic districts ban standard vinyl. We specialize in installing smooth-finish Fiber Cement or Natural Cedar that satisfies preservation guidelines while offering modern durability.

• Process: We will help you prepare the drawings and material samples needed for your COA hearing.
