What Siding Installation Actually Covers

Abner Flooring and Remodeling handles siding installation on homes throughout the Greater Atlanta metro, and it's one of the services where getting the crew right matters more than most homeowners expect. Siding isn't just cosmetic. It's the layer standing between your framing and Georgia's humid summers and hard-driving rain. We handle the full install, from pulling the old material to making sure every course is fastened, sealed, and properly flashed before we leave. Call or text (404) 706-8999 to set up a free walkthrough.

The cost of siding installation varies more than most trades work. Panel type alone moves the number significantly, as does the square footage of the home, how much existing material needs to come off, and whether there's rot or sheathing damage underneath that has to be addressed before anything new goes on. Vinyl is the most common choice in the metro area because it holds up to heat and humidity without painting. Fiber cement and engineered wood cost more to purchase and install but give you a harder surface and a better finished look on older craftsman-style homes. Every job is different, contact Abner Flooring and Remodeling for an accurate estimate.

Full Scope

We Don't Stop at the Panels

Siding connects to everything else on the exterior, and we treat it that way.

A lot of contractors will hang panels and call it done. We won't. Before the first course goes on, we check what's underneath. If we find rotted sheathing or compromised house wrap, we tell you, and we fix it before covering it up. That's not how most crews work, but it's the only way that makes sense to us. After the panels are set, we address the trim, the corner pieces, the J-channels, and the caulking. Those are the spots that fail first when the work is sloppy. We also handle the drywall installation and interior painting if the project extends inside, which means you're coordinating with one crew instead of three.

Materials We Work With

The right panel for your home depends on style, budget, and what's already there.

01

Vinyl Siding

The most widely installed option in the metro area. Holds its color, resists moisture, and needs almost no maintenance. Fits practically any home style and installs faster than heavier materials.

02

Fiber Cement

Harder surface than vinyl, won't rot, and takes paint well. It's heavier and more labor-intensive to install, but the finished look is significantly closer to real wood on older homes.

03

Engineered Wood

A middle ground between vinyl's affordability and fiber cement's look. Better dimensional stability than regular wood without the maintenance, though it still needs proper flashing and sealing.

04

Trim and Accessories

Corner posts, J-channels, soffit trim, and window wraps are part of every siding job we do. Skipping these or cutting corners on them is where weather infiltration starts.

How We Work

Our Siding Install Process

  1. 01

    Inspect and Remove

    We pull existing material, check the sheathing for moisture damage, replace what's compromised, and install fresh house wrap before anything new goes on.

  2. 02

    Install and Flash

    Panels go on course by course, fastened to spec, with proper flashing at every window, door, and penetration. That's the part most people never see, and it's the part that matters most.

  3. 03

    Trim and Seal

    Corner trim, J-channel, soffit work, and caulking at every joint. We walk the finished perimeter before we're done to check for gaps, loose panels, or anything that could admit water.

When to Replace Instead of Repair

If you've got one or two damaged panels, repair is usually the right call. But if you're seeing widespread cracking, panels that have separated from the wall, or paint that's peeling off in large sections, you're past the point where spot fixes make financial sense. Homeowners often ask whether insurance covers rotted siding. The honest answer is that most policies cover sudden damage from a named event, like storm impact, but not gradual deterioration from age or poor original installation. If your claim is weather-related, document the damage thoroughly before anything gets removed. We'll work around inspection timelines. For homes in Sandy Springs or Dunwoody where older construction is common, we often find that what looks like a surface problem is actually a ventilation or flashing issue that goes back years. Identifying that before you put new panels on saves the homeowner from doing this again in five years. Our interior renovations team can handle whatever comes up behind the wall once we're in there.

Siding as Part of a Larger Renovation

  1. 01

    Pair It with Exterior Paint

    Fiber cement and engineered wood both need paint. We handle exterior and interior painting in-house, so you're not scheduling two separate crews for the same project.

  2. 02

    Combine with Interior Work

    If your renovation is touching the exterior walls, chances are there's drywall and trim work inside too. We do that as well, from new hang to finish coat.

  3. 03

    Floors and Finish Work

    Homeowners doing a full exterior update often refresh inside at the same time. We do hardwood installation, LVP, tile, and baseboard installation as part of the same project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should siding be installed over existing wood sheathing?
Over wood sheathing, you need a proper moisture barrier, typically a house wrap rated for your climate, before any panel goes on. The wrap laps over flashing at windows and doors, not under it. Panels fasten to studs through the sheathing, not just into the exterior surface. Skipping the house wrap or under-lapping the flashing is how bulk water gets into the wall cavity and stays there.
What's the difference between nailed too tight and nailed correctly on vinyl siding?
Vinyl expands and contracts with temperature, sometimes more than an inch across a long wall. Panels need to be fastened with the nail centered in the slot, not cinched tight against the flange. Drive it tight and the panel buckles in summer heat. That wavy look you see on a lot of houses isn't a material defect. It's an installation problem, and it's not something you can fix without pulling the panels off and redoing them.
Will homeowners insurance cover rotted siding?
Usually not, unless the rot is the result of a covered event like a storm or falling tree. Standard homeowners policies exclude gradual deterioration, which is what most siding rot actually is. If you're submitting a claim, the key is documenting the specific event that caused the damage, not just showing photos of the current condition. A public adjuster can sometimes help if the damage is substantial and the insurer is pushing back.
How do you install flashing under existing siding without removing everything?
You can't do it well without removing at least the surrounding courses. Some contractors will try to work new flashing in behind existing panels, and it usually leads to laps in the wrong direction or fasteners in the wrong place. The correct approach is to remove the panels around the penetration, set the flashing so water sheds away from the opening, and reinstall. It's more labor, but it's the only way the flashing actually does its job long-term.
How long does a full siding installation take on a typical house?
A single-story home with straightforward geometry can usually be done in two to four days once materials are on site. Two-story homes, homes with a lot of gable work, or houses where we find sheathing damage that needs repair first will take longer. We don't quote a firm timeline until we've seen the house, because what's under the existing siding can change the scope significantly.
Can you match new siding to existing panels on a partial replacement?
Sometimes, but it's genuinely difficult. Vinyl profiles and colorways change frequently, and a panel installed five or ten years ago may have no current equivalent. Fiber cement has more consistent profiles over time, which makes partial matching more realistic. We'll tell you honestly whether a match is achievable before you commit to the work. If it's not, we'll talk through your options, including whether a full replacement makes more sense than a visible patchwork.
