Siding installation & replacement in Holly Springs and the Triangle
In our experience, most siding calls start the same way: rot at the bottom boards, soft trim, peeling paint, or panels that have faded, warped, or blown loose. Many homeowners also ask whether to repair a few spots or replace it all, and if they should choose vinyl, James Hardie® fiber-cement, or add stone veneer for curb appeal. If that sounds like your house, we can help.
We’re Branch Home Improvement—a family-run remodeler with 26+ years in the Triangle, licensed and insured in NC, A+ BBB rated. We install and replace siding that looks sharp, sheds water correctly, and holds up in Carolina weather. Our work includes the details that prevent callbacks: proper housewrap, flashings, vented soffits, and fascia/trim built to last.
Siding installation (new or major upgrades)
Best when: you’re building out a new exterior look, adding on, or your existing cladding is too tired to save.
Siding materials we install
-
- Vinyl siding – Most budget-friendly, low maintenance, tons of colors/profiles. Great value when installed over housewrap with correct flashings.
- James Hardie® fiber-cement – Superior durability and crisp shadow lines; resists rot and pests; excellent paint hold. Ideal when you want a premium, long-lasting look.
- Stone veneer (accent walls, water tables, columns) – Adds contrast and curb appeal; we integrate flashings and drainage so it stays dry.
What we handle (start to finish)
-
- Moisture check and substrate repairs
- Housewrap, flashings, window/door pans set correctly
- Fascia and soffit replacement (vented where needed)
- New trim profiles, corner boards, and color-matched caulks
- Clean jobsite and debris removal
Why homeowners choose this path: big curb-appeal jump, tighter building envelope, and a fresh warranty from a local team that will pick up the phone later.

Siding Replacement
solve rot, leaks, and a tired exterior look
Best when: you’re seeing wood rot, swelling, loose panels, or repeat paint failures—and spot repairs won’t last.
What we do on a replacement
-
- Inspect & explain – We look for hidden rot around windows/doors, at band boards, and behind failed caulk. You’ll see what’s salvageable and what isn’t.
- Remove & repair – Careful tear-off, rotten sheathing and trim replaced, then housewrap and flashings done right.
- Re-side your home – Choose vinyl for value, Hardie® fiber-cement for longevity, and add stone veneer where it elevates the facade.
- Soffit & fascia – Replace damaged pieces, add vented soffit for attic health, and cap where appropriate.
- Finish & clean – Crisp trim details, matched caulks/paint, magnets for nails, and thorough cleanup.
Common questions we hear (and answer on site)
-
- Repair or replace? We’ll price both and show the expected lifespan of each.
- Vinyl vs Hardie? Vinyl = lower upfront, minimal upkeep; Hardie = higher upfront, best durability/paint hold.
- Can we add stone? Yes—front water table, porch columns, or an accent wall with proper drainage plane.
Big benefits: stop moisture at the source, restore structure where needed, and get the crisp lines and color that boost curb appeal.

How Much Does New Siding Cost?
The cost to reside your home can vary depending on home size and material selected
Vinyl Siding
Great value and low maintenance with lots of colors and profiles. Price depends on home size/stories, trim details, substrate repairs, and whether we’re also replacing soffit/fascia and wrap/flashings.
Cost $12k-$35k+
Depending On Size and Scope
Fiber Cement/HardiePlank®
Premium look and durability that resists rot, pests, and warping; holds paint longer for strong curb appeal. Cost is driven by the window/door count, trim style (e.g., wider boards), story height, and any wood-rot repairs before install.
Cost $18k-$55k+
Depending On Size and Scope
Stone Veneer
Adds high-impact curb appeal for water tables, columns, and feature walls. Pricing varies with coverage area, stone type, and integration details (proper drainage plane, flashing, and transitions to siding).
Cost $8k-$30k+
Depending On Size and Scope
These ranges are ballpark figures for professional siding installation and replacement in the Triangle. Final pricing depends on your home’s size, material choice (vinyl, HardiePlank®, stone accents), and any needed wood-rot, soffit/fascia, or flashing/housewrap repairs. For a firm, line-item quote, we’ll walk the exterior, document conditions, and tailor the scope to your goals.
Frequently Asked Siding Replacement Questions
Most homes in Holly Springs & the Triangle land between $12k–$55k+ depending on material (vinyl, HardiePlank®/fiber-cement, stone veneer accents), home size/stories, window/door count, and any wood-rot, soffit, or fascia repairs.
If you have isolated damage, a targeted repair can make sense. When you’re seeing multiple failures—rot at band boards, swelling panels, loose laps, failing caulk—a full replacement is usually safer, looks better, and costs less over time.
- Vinyl: best upfront value, low maintenance, lots of colors/profiles.
- HardiePlank (fiber-cement): higher upfront, best durability and paint hold, crisp lines, strong curb appeal.
We price both side-by-side so you can compare look, maintenance, and budget.
Yes. We often install stone veneer at the front water table, porch columns, or an accent wall—integrated with proper flashings and drainage so it stays dry.
We inspect and replace damaged soffit/fascia, add vented soffits where needed for attic health, and match trim profiles so everything ties in cleanly.
We remove siding, repair rotten sheathing/trim, and then install new housewrap and flashings before the new cladding goes on. Fixing rot first prevents future leaks and paint failures.
Yes. We install housewrap, window/door pan flashing, and kick-out flashing at roof lines. These details are critical for water management and warranty.
Most full replacements take 3–10 days on a typical Triangle home, depending on size, story count, and trim/stone scope. We’ll give you a clear schedule up front.
Both options work. Prefinished (colorplus) Hardie speeds install and holds color well. Field-painted gives broader color choice or perfect matches with existing trim. We’ll review pros/cons for your home.
We can match profiles, exposure widths, and trim details closely. For color, we’ll sample against existing elements (brick, roof, windows) and provide swatches.
Yes. We coordinate new windows/doors if you’re upgrading, and we remove/reinstall gutters or replace them as needed so flashings are correct.
Most siding replacements are permitted by jurisdiction; HOAs often require a submittal for color/material changes. We can help with permits and HOA in Wake, Chatham, and Durham counties.
