James Hardie fiber-cement, vinyl, and engineered-wood siding installed with proper house-wrap, flashing details and ventilation. We do the prep right — old siding removed, sheathing inspected, windows and doors re-flashed before a single board goes up.
Soft Substrate Sections
A critical indicator that active moisture has already penetrated past the cladding, threatening the underlying structural framing.
Buckled or Dislodged Panels
Wind displacement usually points to incorrect fastening schedules, structural shift, or failing substrate integrity.
Caulked-Over Failures
Heavy or messy caulk lines are clear signs of a cheap patch-up job trying to hide flashing failures instead of fixing them.
Rot at Corner Posts & Window Heads
The siding is rarely the root issue here; failing drainage planes and lack of flashing are usually compromising the structure.
Thunder PRO Technical Audit
Full physical measurement of all elevations, comprehensive digital photo logging of current defects, and color consultation.
Elevation Scope & Estimate
Itemized, per-elevation breakdown detailing exact material volume, trim architecture, and specific color selections.
Color Validation
On-site sample layout boards. All cladding materials are ordered factory-direct to ensure batch uniformity.
The Re-Clad Phase
For a typical 2,000 sq ft structure: 6-10 dedicated crew days. We tear down and dry-in one elevation at a time to secure the home.
Final Inspection & Sign-Off
Rigorous walk-through of all elevations, precision detailing, final site punch-list, and official manufacturer warranty registration.

Hardie vs. vinyl — what's the real difference?
Hardie lasts longer (30+ years), won't burn, holds color better, but costs roughly 40% more installed. Vinyl is faster to install and easier to replace a damaged panel. Both get lifetime warranties now
Do I need new windows with new siding?
Only if the existing ones are failing. But it's the cheapest time to replace them — no extra trim or flashing labor since we're already there. We'll tell you honestly if yours have 10 years left
Can you re-side over existing?
Vinyl yes, Hardie no. We prefer full tear-off either way so we can inspect sheathing, re-wrap, re-flash. About 15% of homes show hidden moisture damage — better to find it now
How long does siding last?
Fiber cement 30-50 years. Insulated vinyl 25-40. Real cedar 20-30 with maintenance. All of our installs carry a 15-year workmanship warranty on top
