What Siding Materials Do You Install?
We install vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, and LP SmartSide engineered wood: three proven options for Iowa homes at different price points and looks. At your estimate, we’ll walk you through samples and recommend what fits your home and budget.
Vinyl siding
The most popular choice for a reason: affordable, low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of colors and profiles. Modern vinyl is far tougher than the product from decades past, and it never needs painting.
Fiber cement siding
A cement-and-fiber composite that delivers the look of wood with serious durability: highly resistant to fire, rot, insects, and Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycling. A great fit for homeowners who want a premium, long-lasting exterior.
LP SmartSide
Engineered wood siding built to take impact which can be a meaningful advantage in hail country. It gives you an authentic wood-grain look with strength and warranty coverage that traditional wood can’t match.
Every installation includes properly detailed trim, and we handle soffit and fascia as part of the project. These pieces finish the look and keep water and pests out of your roofline.
What Are the Signs You Need New Siding?
Cracked, warped, or loose panels, soft or rotting spots, chalky fading, hail dents, and rising energy bills are the classic warning signs. If water is getting behind your siding, damage spreads fast. An inspection tells you repair or replace.
Here’s what to look for on a walk around your house:
- Cracks, splits, or holes. Openings let water reach the sheathing underneath, where rot starts quietly.
- Warping or buckling. Panels that won’t sit flat often mean there’s moisture or heat damage behind them.
- Soft spots or rot. Press near the bottom edges and if it gives, water has been in there a while.
- Fading or chalking. Heavy UV wear means the material’s protective surface is spent.
- Loose or missing panels after storms. Eastern Iowa wind finds every weak fastener.
- Hail dents or fractures. Even cosmetic-looking hail hits can crack siding and open it to moisture.
- Rising heating and cooling bills. Failing siding and deteriorated wrap underneath let conditioned air escape.
One or two of these might mean a repair. Several of them, especially on siding that’s decades old, usually means replacement is the smarter spend. We’ll tell you which, honestly, at your free estimate.
Do You Repair Storm & Hail Damage to Siding?
Yes. Hail and high winds damage siding across Clinton County every year, and we repair and replace storm-damaged siding often as part of an insurance claim.
After a hailstorm, siding damage is easy to miss from the ground. Dents, cracks, and chipped surfaces let water in over the following months. If your neighborhood took hail, it’s worth a professional inspection even if things look fine from the driveway.
We work with insurance claims regularly. We document the damage properly and handle the repair or replacement. The details of how claims work, what adjusters look for, and how we support you through the process are all covered on our storm damage restoration page.
How Much Does Siding Cost in DeWitt?
Siding cost depends on the material you choose, your home’s size and number of stories, whether old siding needs removal, and trim details. Rather than guess online, we provide a free, written, itemized estimate for your actual home.
What moves the price:
- Material. Vinyl is the most budget-friendly; fiber cement and LP SmartSide cost more up front and deliver longer service life and durability.
- Home size and stories. More square footage and second-story work mean more material and labor.
- Removal of existing siding. Tearing off and disposing of old siding adds scope, but layering over damaged siding is a shortcut we don’t take.
- Trim, soffit, and fascia. Corners, windows, and roofline details finish the job right and factor into the total.
Your estimate is free, itemized, and pressure-free, and financing options are available.
What's the Installation Process and What's the Warranty?
We remove old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing underneath, install new house wrap, then side and trim your home to manufacturer spec. You get the manufacturer’s material warranty plus Wegner’s own workmanship warranty, in writing.
Here’s what to expect:
- Free estimate and material selection. We measure, inspect, and walk you through samples and colors.
- Tear-off and inspection. Old siding comes off and we check the wall underneath. Any rot or damage gets addressed before new siding hides it.
- House wrap and prep. A proper moisture barrier goes on first. This layer is invisible when the job’s done and it’s where cut-rate installs cheat.
- Installation and trim. Siding, corners, soffit, and fascia installed to manufacturer specifications which is also what keeps your material warranty valid.
- Cleanup and walkthrough. Magnetic sweep for nails, full haul-away, and a final walkthrough with you.
Because we’re a full exterior contractor, siding projects often pair naturally with roof replacement or windows and gutters. One crew and one schedule for the whole home.
