Coordinating windows and siding projects

Replacing your windows and siding together ensures everything fits perfectly. We handle the timing so your home is never left open to a sudden Polk County thunderstorm. This approach prevents the damage that occurs when crews try to force new siding around old window frames.

Our team works across Des Moines and suburbs like Ankeny to finish these big jobs fast. You get one point of contact and one clear timeline. We make sure the colors and styles match your vision from the start.

Doing both at once often saves you money on labor and setup costs. We can address any wood rot or structural issues hidden behind the old boards before the new windows go in. This is the best way to get a long-term fix for your home.

Siding around windows done right

The way we install siding around windows determines how well your home handles Iowa humidity. We do not just slap on some caulk and call it good. Our installers use precise measurements to ensure every piece allows for natural expansion and contraction during local freeze-thaw cycles.

A poor fit causes panels to buckle or gap. This lets moisture get behind the exterior where it can rot your wall studs. We use heavy duty J-channel and custom cuts to create a tight finish that stays straight for years.

Whether you live in a historic neighborhood or a new build in Waukee, we match the trim style to your architecture. The goal is a clean look that refuses to leak or rattle in high winds.

Flashing and water management

Proper metal flashing is the most important part of windows and siding work. We install head flashing above every opening to shed water away from the glass. This simple step prevents the internal leaks that ruin drywall and insulation in Clive and Urbandale homes.

We use professional-grade house wrap and tape to seal the transition between the window frame and the wall. This secondary barrier is critical when driving rain hits your siding. It keeps your house dry even if the outer layer takes a beating.

Our crews are trained to spot existing water damage once the old layers are removed. We fix those issues before we install the new system. You get a house that is actually protected, not just one that looks pretty.

Custom trim and finishing details

Trim is what makes your windows and siding stand out in the neighborhood. We offer various widths and colors to provide a crisp contrast to your main siding color. This gives your Johnston or Altoona home more curb appeal and a higher resale value.

Standard vinyl trim works for many, but we also offer composite options for more durability. These materials do not need paint and will not peel after a couple of hot Iowa summers. They hold their shape and keep their color despite direct sun exposure.

We pay attention to the mitered corners and sill details. A professional finish means no visible gaps and no sloppy edges. Our craftsmen take pride in the small details that other contractors often ignore.

Frequently asked questions

It is almost always better to do them at the same time or do windows first. This allows us to properly flash the window frame and wrap it under the new siding. Installing windows after siding often involves cutting into your new exterior, which can lead to leaks if not handled perfectly.
