Siding Installation & Replacement
Weathertight siding that holds its color and its shape through every season.
Siding Done Right for New England Weather
Siding is your home’s first defense against wind-driven rain, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycling. FortExteriors Systems installs vinyl, fiber cement (James Hardie), and engineered wood siding systems with proper house-wrap, flashing, and rainscreen detailing so moisture never gets trapped behind the wall.
Materials & Systems We Install
- James Hardie fiber cement siding
- Insulated vinyl siding
- Engineered wood siding
- Aluminum and vinyl trim, fascia & soffit
- Rainscreen and drainage wrap systems
- Continuous rigid insulation (upgrade option)
What Sets Our Siding Work Apart
Moisture management done right
Weather-resistant barriers, flashing tape, and drainage gaps behind every siding system — not siding nailed straight to sheathing.
Fiber cement & vinyl expertise
Certified installers for James Hardie fiber cement as well as premium insulated vinyl systems.
Color-matched trim & fascia
Fascia, soffit, and trim are finished to match, so the whole exterior reads as one cohesive system.
Insulation upgrades included
Re-siding is the easiest time to add continuous rigid insulation and cut heating and cooling costs.
How a Siding Project Works
-
Exterior assessment
We check sheathing, existing moisture damage, and window/door flashing before recommending a system.
-
Material & color selection
On-site samples of vinyl, fiber cement, and trim colors so you can see them against your actual house.
-
Removal & wall prep
Old siding comes off, sheathing is repaired, and a weather-resistant barrier goes on before anything new is installed.
-
Installation & detailing
New siding, trim, and flashing are installed to manufacturer spec, followed by a final walkthrough.

Siding Questions, Answered
Vinyl or fiber cement — which is better for Massachusetts?
Fiber cement resists impact and holds paint longer but costs more upfront. Insulated vinyl costs less and never needs painting. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs for your home and budget.
Can siding be replaced in winter?
Yes, though very cold temperatures can limit certain sealants and vinyl installation windows. We schedule around weather to protect the finished work.
Will new siding help with drafts and energy bills?
Yes — re-siding is the most cost-effective time to add continuous insulation and seal air gaps around windows and doors.
Do you match existing trim if I only need a partial repair?
We keep a range of common profiles and colors on hand and can special-order matches for less common trim.
