Siding here has to handle it all: heavy snow piling up for months, whipping mountain winds, and those freeze-thaw cycles in the spring that can tear weaker materials apart. That’s why we don’t just sell siding; we recommend and install systems proven to last right here in southern Vermont, from durable vinyl to classic cedar.

It's a smart, affordable way to get a fresh look for your home that holds up incredibly well to our snow and ice. Modern vinyl won't get brittle and crack in the cold, and it means you can spend your weekends enjoying Vermont instead of scraping and painting.

There’s a reason we install so much James Hardie siding or Hardie Board in Manchester: it's incredibly tough. It's a fiber cement product, which means it simply can't rot, and it offers nothing for insects or woodpeckers. It holds paint color for years and stands up to our wet, cold conditions without warping or deteriorating. It’s a smart, long-term investment.
It holds paint color well (or comes pre-finished in beautiful hues) and requires very little upkeep over the years. In fact, fiber cement siding has proven itself in some of the harshest winter climates, withstanding cold, wet conditions year after year without issue
Contact us for James Hardie SidingThink of this as "set it and forget it" siding. Everlast siding is a thick, solid composite that looks like beautiful painted cedar. The planks are also impervious to water, so unlike wood, they won’t swell, rot, or attract pests. Its best feature for our climate, however, is that the color is baked in all the way through the plank, so if a branch scratches it during a storm, it won’t leave a glaring white mark. It requires almost no maintenance and looks fantastic for decades.
Contact us for Everlast SidingNothing says "classic New England" like the look of Cedar Shakes. We install modern composite shakes that give you that timeless, rustic character without the splitting, curling, and upkeep that comes with real wood. They’re a perfect fit for the architectural styles you see all over Manchester.
Contact us for Cedar Shakes SidingLP SmartSide gives you the warmth and beauty of real wood, but it's engineered to be much tougher. It’s specially treated to resist the moisture and freeze-thaw cycles that are so hard on homes here in Vermont. It’s a great choice for getting that authentic wood-grain look with durability that’s built for our climate.
Contact us for LP SmartSide SidingDiamond Kote is built on that same tough LP SmartSide platform, but the finish is the real game-changer. Instead of being painted on-site, the color is baked on in the factory. It's incredibly resistant to peeling, chipping, and fading. If you want a vibrant color that will actually stay vibrant through years of harsh sun and snow, this is the product we recommend.

In cold, wet climates like Vermont, fiber cement siding (e.g. James Hardie® HardiePlank) and engineered composite siding are top choices. Fiber cement holds up exceptionally well through harsh winters, it doesn’t absorb water like wood, and it doesn’t become brittle in freezing temperatures
Yes! All our siding installations come with a manufacturer’s warranty (which can range from 30 years to lifetime on materials) and a 5-year workmanship warranty from us.
One benefit of modern siding materials is how easy they are to maintain compared to old wood siding. For vinyl and composite siding (like Everlast), maintenance is minimal, a simple wash with a garden hose and a soft brush once a year is all it takes to keep it looking great. No more scraping and painting!
