Siding that protects the building envelope.
Siding is the first layer of protection for every wall. We install it to keep water out for decades, and we back our siding work with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
- Siding replacement: James Hardie® fiber cement or Variform vinyl siding, installed with precise flashing and trim details.
- Siding repair: storm, impact and moisture damage repaired and matched to the existing exterior.
- Inspections: we identify problem areas before they turn into rot, mold or interior damage.
Fiber cement vs. vinyl
Two materials. One crew standard.
We install both, with the same Rocklane crews and the same workmanship warranty. Here is how they compare, so you can choose the right siding for your building.
Variform vinyl siding
Vinyl siding that stands up to Indiana weather with very little upkeep, in lap and shake profiles, a practical choice for single homes and whole communities.
| Feature | James Hardie® fiber cement | Variform vinyl |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Fiber cement boards made from cement, sand and cellulose fibers | Vinyl siding panels |
| Look | Crisp, deep lines with a painted finish | Lap and shake profiles in a wide range of colors |
| Upkeep | Low; the painted finish may need refreshing over the long term | Very little; no painting, an occasional wash |
| Installation | Heavier boards cut and fastened with fiber-cement tooling | Lighter panels hung to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction |
| Often chosen for | Homes where a rigid, painted-wood look matters most | Homes and multi-building communities that want low upkeep |

Manufacturers set their own product warranties. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation.
How we install
The details decide how long siding lasts.
Water gets behind siding at its edges and openings. That is where our crews take the most care.
Flashing
Precise flashing at windows, doors and rooflines, so water is turned away from the wall.
Trim details
Trim fitted cleanly around corners and openings, finishing the wall and closing the gaps.
Matched repairs
Storm, impact and moisture damage repaired and matched to the existing exterior.
Problem areas found early
We look for trouble spots before they turn into rot, mold or interior damage.
