Which metal makes sense for your home?
Both are tough, low-maintenance, and built for our climate. The honest difference comes down to impact resistance and budget. We'll walk you through it, no pressure either direction.
Aluminum siding
- Won't rust, even where moisture is a concern.
- Lightweight and budget-friendly to install.
- Holds a baked-on finish in many colors.
- Softer metal, so it can dent from hail or impact.
Steel siding
- Stronger and far more dent-resistant than aluminum.
- Stands up to hail and flying debris.
- Modern profiles for a clean, contemporary look.
- Heavier and a higher upfront cost than aluminum.
Install, replace, repair, and storm recovery.
One crew for the whole exterior, from a fresh install to the hailstorm claim years later.
New metal siding
Aluminum or steel installed over a proper moisture barrier, the detail that protects the sheathing.
Siding replacement
Old or failing siding removed, sheathing inspected, and new metal installed clean.
Siding repair
Dented, loose, or storm-torn panels repaired, and we're honest when repair beats replacement.
Storm, hail & insurance
We document the damage and handle the insurance claim alongside any roof damage.
Less to worry about, year after year.
Metal solves a few problems that wood and even vinyl can't, which is why a lot of Wisconsin homeowners make the switch.
Tough & long-lasting
Stands up to wind and weather without warping or cracking.
Non-combustible
Metal doesn't feed a fire the way some siding materials can.
Pest, rot & woodpecker proof
No rot, no insects, and nothing for woodpeckers to drill into.
Low maintenance
Baked-on color holds for years with little more than a rinse.
Hail & wind · WI & IAHail hits siding too, not just the roof.
The same storm that dents your roof dents your siding. Most homeowner's policies cover hail and wind damage to siding, but only if the claim is documented properly. We inspect and photograph the siding, include it in the same adjuster scope as the roof, and make sure the claim covers the full exterior.
- Full siding damage inspection and photos
- Siding included in the same claim as the roof
- You pay your deductible, we handle the rest
- Repair or full replacement, whatever it needs
Our own crewsThe part you never see decides how long it lasts.
Good metal siding fails early when it's installed over a bad moisture barrier or with no room to move. We install a proper moisture barrier first, leave the right clearances, and finish the details, because that's what keeps water out of the sheathing for the long haul.
- Proper moisture barrier before any panel goes on
- Sheathing inspected and repaired as needed
- Our own crews, never subcontracted
- A clear timeline and written estimate up front
Licensed, claim-savvy, and financed if you need it.
