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.
