Vinyl Siding Replacement That Seals the Whole House
Complete vinyl siding replacement and installation for Downriver and metro Detroit homes: full tear-off, taped housewrap, insulation board, CertainTeed siding, ventilated soffit, and aluminum-wrapped trim, at a published price of about $750 per square installed.
Your walls take Michigan weather all year long
Faded, cracked, or wavy siding isn't just a curb-appeal problem. Once panels loosen and joints open up, wind-driven rain gets behind them, and the sheathing, insulation, and framing underneath quietly pay the price through every freeze-thaw cycle.
We replace siding the same way we replace roofs: tear it all off, fix what's underneath, and install a complete system: taped Tyvek® housewrap, fan-fold insulation board, steel starter strip, premium CertainTeed vinyl, ventilated soffit, and custom aluminum trim on every fascia board, frieze, window, and door. Itemized pricing and a written warranty come standard.
Book a Siding AppointmentWhat vinyl siding costs: about $750 per square installed
A “square” is 100 square feet of wall. The per-square price covers the complete wall system, so the math for your house is mostly its wall area.
| House type | Est. wall area | Siding price |
|---|---|---|
| Small ranch or bungalow | 10–12 squares | $7,500 – $9,000 |
| Typical ranch | 12–15 squares | $9,000 – $11,250 |
| Story-and-a-half or large ranch | 15–18 squares | $11,250 – $13,500 |
| Two-story colonial | 22–28 squares | $16,500 – $21,000 |
Worked example: a Downriver ranch with 15 squares of wall is 15 × $750 = $11,250 for tear-off, housewrap, insulation board and CertainTeed siding. Soffit, trim wrap and window/door openings are added as separate lines on the written quote, so the finished total for that house is higher than the siding line alone.
Wall areas above are estimates from typical house dimensions (perimeter × wall height, plus gable ends), not measurements of your home. Read the full vinyl siding cost guide for Michigan for how to estimate your own squares and what drives the price. Financing is available through Acorn Finance.

Why homeowners choose our siding system
A Complete System, Not Just Panels
We tear off the old siding and rebuild the whole wall system: Tyvek® housewrap with taped seams, fan-fold insulation board, and premium CertainTeed vinyl siding over the top. That's what keeps wind-driven rain and winter drafts out, not the panels alone.
Every Detail Finished in Metal
Fascia, frieze boards, and window and door openings get wrapped in custom-bent aluminum trim, and soffits are replaced with ventilated panels that keep attic air moving. No bare wood left to peel and rot, no caulk-and-hope shortcuts.
Honest, Per-Square Pricing
Siding is quoted the same way we quote roofs: measured precisely, priced per square, and itemized in writing (siding, soffit, trim, and openings each on their own line), so you can see exactly what you're paying for before work starts.
Signs it's time for new siding
- Panels that are warped, buckled, cracked or loose, especially on the south and west walls that take the most sun.
- Faded or chalky color that no longer matches where a panel was replaced.
- Soft or stained wood at the bottom of walls, around windows, or under the gutters: a sign water has been getting behind the siding.
- Rooms that feel drafty along exterior walls in winter.
- Hail dents or holes, or panels that blew off in a windstorm.
- Peeling paint on wood trim every few years.
One loose panel is a repair. Several of these on more than one wall usually means the siding has reached the end of its life. Read signs your siding needs replacing in Michigan for what each one tells you.
Our Simple Siding Replacement Process
Straightforward and stress-free, from the first measurement to the final walkthrough.
Free Consultation & Measurement
We look at your existing siding, soffits, and trim, measure the walls precisely, and talk through colors, profiles, and options: shutters, cedar-shake accents, insulated siding, and more.
Itemized Written Quote
You get a clear per-square price with siding, soffit, trim, and openings broken out as separate line items. No allowances, no vague lump sums, no surprises.
Tear-Off & Full Install
Old siding, soffit, and trim come off so we can inspect the sheathing underneath. Then the full system goes on: taped housewrap, insulation board, steel starter strip, siding, ventilated soffit, and aluminum-wrapped trim.
Walkthrough & Written Warranty
We walk the whole house with you, haul away every scrap of the old siding, and back the work with a written warranty from a licensed, insured Michigan builder.
Replacing the roof and siding together
The roof edge, gutters and walls handle the same water. Doing them together lets one crew lap the drip edge, gutter and wall flashing in the right order, on one schedule and one itemized quote, with one contractor answerable for the joint where the roof meets the wall. The usual order is roof first, then siding, then gutters.
Each part keeps its own written warranty: the roof replacement carries our 10-year workmanship warranty and, on a complete Owens Corning system, Owens Corning's roof warranty; the siding carries CertainTeed's manufacturer warranty on the product and our written workmanship warranty on the install. The workmanship term is spelled out on your siding quote. Adding gutters too? See seamless gutter replacement and gutter guards.
Siding across Downriver and metro Detroit
Based in Wyandotte, we install vinyl siding across Downriver, including Riverview, Grosse Ile, Woodhaven and Brownstown, and the rest of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw & Monroe Counties. Our local pages cover each city's housing stock:
The questions homeowners ask us most
Our complete siding system (tear-off, Tyvek® housewrap with taped seams, fan-fold insulation board, and premium CertainTeed vinyl siding) runs about $750 per square (100 square feet of wall) installed. A ranch with 12 to 18 squares of wall comes to about $9,000 to $13,500 for the siding itself. Soffit, aluminum trim wrap, and window/door openings are itemized separately, so your written quote shows exactly where every dollar goes.
Roughly: measure around the outside of the house, multiply by the wall height (about 8 to 9 feet per story), add the triangles at the gable ends, and divide by 100. That gross number is close enough to budget with. We measure every wall precisely before we quote.
It happens, especially on homes where failing gutters or bad flashing have soaked the walls for years. Tear-off is the only honest way to find it. We inspect the sheathing once the old siding is off, photograph anything we find, and replace damaged wood at the unit rates disclosed in your quote before the new siding goes on. You'll never get a surprise bill for work you didn't see coming.
For most Michigan homes, quality vinyl is the sweet spot: it never needs paint, shrugs off freeze-thaw, and costs meaningfully less than fiber cement to install. We install CertainTeed Monogram®, a premium panel line with deep, wood-grain profiles in dozens of colors, plus optional upgrades like foam-insulated siding, vinyl cedar-shake accents, shutters, and column wraps if you want a more custom look.
Most single-family homes take a few days once material is on-site; larger two-story homes with full soffit and trim work can run around a week. Weather can shift the schedule (we won't hang siding in conditions that compromise the install), and we keep the site picked up and the driveway clear every night either way.
Yes, and it's often the smart order of operations: roof first, then siding, so new drip edge, flashing, and gutters integrate cleanly with the new walls. One licensed local contractor, one schedule, and one itemized quote covering both, instead of two crews pointing at each other where the roof meets the wall.
It helps, honestly stated: taped housewrap stops the air leaks that make older walls drafty, and the fan-fold insulation board adds a continuous layer across the studs. That's a real improvement, but it isn't attic insulation. If your bills are high because of a cold attic, we'll tell you that instead of overselling the siding.
