Siding in Villa Ridge, MO
Villa Ridge sits in eastern Franklin County where Highway 100 crosses Highway 50, just north of Interstate 44 and a short drive east of our Union shop. The walls on a Villa Ridge home take a different beating than a roof does. When a storm rolls up the I-44 corridor the wind drives hail sideways into the storm-facing elevation, and the federally declared March 2025 storms that battered eastern Missouri with large hail and 75-plus mph straight-line winds cracked, holed, and dented siding on homes right around here. Older vinyl on a 1990s subdivision off Highway 100 goes brittle and splits, while chalky wood siding on the rural acreage out toward Catawissa lets moisture work in behind it.
We added siding because Villa Ridge customers kept asking the family that did their roof to handle the walls a storm damaged too, not send a roofer for the top and a stranger for the sides. So we wrap the whole exterior in one trip with the same in-house crews, the same family whose name is on the truck and whose office manager Wendy answers the phone. Every siding job here starts on the wall, not in the driveway. We pull a section, look at the sheathing and house wrap behind it, and tell you what the old siding has been hiding before we quote anything. We do not price a re-side off a photo or a satellite image, and the price you approve is the price you pay.
What our siding includes in Villa Ridge
Re-siding a home is more than nailing new panels over old. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.
Tear off the old siding to the sheathing
We strip the failed siding down to the wall sheathing rather than burying it under new panels. Siding over siding traps moisture, hides rot, and voids most manufacturer warranties. Tearing off is the only way to see what the storms and freeze-thaw have done to the wall.
Replace rotten sheathing and trim
With the wall open we replace soft or rotten OSB and plywood sheathing, then fix or replace failed fascia, soffit, and corner trim. We talk you through what we find while the wall is exposed, the same way we narrate a roof tear-off, so nothing gets covered up without you knowing.
Install house wrap and flashing
A proper weather-resistive barrier goes on with taped seams, and we flash every window, door, and penetration before a panel touches the wall. This is the layer that stops Missouri wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw from finding its way behind the siding.
Install your chosen siding system
We hang a complete system from LP SmartSide, Royal, CertainTeed, or Georgia-Pacific, matched to your home and budget rather than to one supplier. The brand, profile, and color are on your written estimate before we order anything.
Trim, caulk, and clean to no footprint
We finish the corners, J-channel, and trim, seal the joints, and magnet-sweep the yard for nails and cut-offs. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and leave without a footprint on your property.
Villa Ridge's spread of housing is exactly why one siding line does not fit every wall here. A newer build filling in toward Pacific takes wind-driven hail very differently than an older home on open acreage along the Highway 50 corridor where sun and wind work the panels hard year-round. On a storm-facing elevation that catches the worst of the I-44 weather we lean toward LP SmartSide engineered wood, which takes wind-driven hail better than thin vinyl and resists the moisture and rot a Missouri freeze-thaw winter forces behind any failed seam. On a sheltered side a premium vinyl from Royal or CertainTeed holds color and keeps maintenance low. We match the product to which walls take the worst of the weather on your specific Villa Ridge home, not to the one line a supplier wants us to move.
