The Siding Brands We Install in Hampton Roads

Most siding companies carry one line and sell it to every house on the street. We carry five, because a 1960s ranch in Norfolk and a waterfront rebuild in Virginia Beach are not the same job. Here is what we install, and who each product is right for.

Alside
Alside
The widest range of colors and profiles we offer, and the easiest place to land when budget and looks both matter. ASCEND Composite Cladding is the step up: it installs like siding but carries the deep shadow lines and crisp trim details of painted wood.
Tando Composites
Tando Composites
Real stone needs footings, mortar, and a mason on site for days. TandoStone is lightweight composite that goes up with standard siding tools and no mortar at all. Beach House Shake gives you the coastal cedar look without cedar's maintenance calendar. Both carry a 50-year Performance Plus Limited Warranty.
James Hardie
James Hardie
The heavyweight. Non-combustible, dimensionally stable, and engineered for our climate zone through the HardieZone system. The right call when a homeowner wants the most durable cladding on the market and is not price-shopping.
LPSmartSide
LPSmartSide
Treated engineered wood that takes a nail like lumber and impact like a much heavier product. Popular on homes with a lot of trim detail, and on renovations where crews need to work fast without sacrificing durability.
CertainTeed
CertainTeed
A deep vinyl catalog with strong color retention and profile options that fit older Hampton Roads housing stock well. Often the answer when a homeowner needs a close match to an existing exterior.

Yes. We install the full Alside exterior line, including ASCEND Composite Cladding, Charter Oak, Odyssey Plus, and Alside insulated vinyl siding, throughout Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, Williamsburg, and Northeast North Carolina.


Vinyl siding is a formed PVC panel. ASCEND is a composite cladding built on a polymer core with a thicker profile, deeper shadow lines, and a trim system designed to be mitered and finished like wood. From the curb, ASCEND reads as painted wood; vinyl reads as vinyl. ASCEND costs more and lasts through the same wash-and-forget maintenance cycle.


No, and that is the point. TandoStone is a composite stone panel that installs with standard siding tools, no mortar, and no additional structural support. It gives you the appearance of hand-laid stone on gables, columns, and water tables at a fraction of the labor cost, and it carries a 50-year Performance Plus Limited Warranty.


Yes. Beach House Shake is a composite cedar shake alternative that installs several times faster than natural cedar and never needs staining. It is a common choice on waterfront and Outer Banks-adjacent homes where real cedar weathers fast.


There is no single answer, which is why we carry five brands. Fiber cement and composite cladding generally handle exposed coastal walls best. Vinyl and composite stone perform well and cost less. The right choice depends on your home’s exposure, age, structure, and budget, and that is what the free consultation is for.
