Cracked panels, warped boards, peeling paint — these are signs your siding is failing before your eyes. Forge Siding delivers professional Siding across Jerusalem, OH with upfront pricing and crews who show up on schedule.
Forge Siding grew out of a simple frustration: too many Jerusalem homeowners were paying good money for Siding work that failed inside five years. Wrong profiles, wrong fastener gauges, no housewrap — then the callbacks never came. We do it right the first time, using manufacturer-recommended installation methods and materials rated for OH's specific climate demands.
Every estimate is itemized and written down before we ever ask for a signature. You'll see material costs, labor, disposal, and any underlying repair work broken out separately — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. We've completed thousands of Siding projects across Jerusalem, OH and our callback rate is under two percent. That number matters to us.
Most homeowners don't notice siding problems until water damage has already reached the sheathing. These are the signals worth acting on before the repair scope doubles.
Even a small gap at a butt joint or around a window trim is an entry point. Water wicks in, freeze-thaw cycles widen the gap, and the damage compounds every winter.
Panels that bow outward have usually absorbed moisture or were installed without adequate expansion clearance. Warped vinyl or fiber cement can't seal properly at the joints, so the problem accelerates.
Paint peeling on your inside walls near exterior surfaces is a classic sign that moisture is migrating inward through failing siding. By the time you see it inside, the wall cavity is already compromised.
Panels that have pulled away from the wall are an open door for pests, moisture, and cold air. Nails back out over time when the substrate is soft — often a sign of prior water damage underneath.
Compromised siding reduces your wall assembly's thermal performance. If you've noticed climbing heating or cooling costs without an obvious cause, degraded siding — especially if it's letting air infiltrate — is worth investigating.
Heavy algae or mold staining on the exterior surface isn't just cosmetic — it means the surface is retaining moisture long enough for organic growth. That moisture is also working its way into the wall system.
Every job below starts with a free written estimate. We specify the product, the profile, the color, and the installation method upfront — so there's no ambiguity when work begins.
Fiber cement is the workhorse material we recommend most in OH's climate — it handles humidity, impact, and UV better than most alternatives and carries manufacturer warranties that actually hold up. We're certified installers for HardiePlank, HardieShingle, and competing fiber cement systems. Installation follows manufacturer specs to the millimeter: correct lap, correct fastener type and spacing, correct clearance from grade and roof surface, and full housewrap integration on every project.
Done right, vinyl siding is durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective. Done wrong — wrong gauge, wrong fastener pattern, no expansion clearance — it warps in the heat and pulls loose in wind. We use .044" and .046" gauge panels minimum and follow thermal expansion specs precisely for OH's temperature range. Nail hem fastening at 16" centers, 1/32" expansion gap at all trim terminations, and a fully integrated vinyl accessory system so the corners, J-channel, and window trim all work together.
Engineered wood is popular in Jerusalem neighborhoods where the traditional wood look matters architecturally but the maintenance demands of real cedar or pine aren't practical. We install with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent iron staining at the nail head — a detail that separates a professional installation from a quick flip job.
Our repair crews use the same material standards as our full-installation teams — no caulking over gaps as a permanent fix, no missing sealant at transitions, no shortcuts on housewrap at the repair perimeter. If there's rot in the sheathing behind the damaged panel, we address it during the repair rather than covering it up.
We work with metal panel systems, large-format fiber cement, and commercial-grade vinyl for multi-family and light commercial applications. EIFS compatibility work, expansion joint detailing, and coordination with waterproofing and window subcontractors are all in scope. We carry the insurance requirements for commercial GC work and can provide certified payroll documentation for public projects.
Siding that terminates at rotted or missing fascia boards isn't protected — it's channeling water straight into the rafter tails. We routinely pair siding replacement with trim, soffit, and fascia work so the entire exterior envelope is addressed in one mobilization rather than two. PVC trim board, prefinished aluminum coil, and fiber cement fascia are all in our wheelhouse.
Four steps. Each one documented. No surprises at the invoice.
A thorough inspection before we quote means the estimate we hand you is accurate. We check the substrate, the existing housewrap or vapor barrier, window and door flashing, corner and soffit condition — all of it — so there are no hidden surprises once demo starts.
The estimate covers every line item — material, labor, disposal, permit fees if required in your jurisdiction. You pick the product, the profile, and the color with our input on what's going to perform best for your specific wall orientation, climate exposure, and substrate condition.
Your start date is locked at signing. Crew arrives on time, materials are staged and ready, and the site is protected before demo begins. We run a tight job — no leaving panels exposed overnight when rain is in the forecast.
Installation follows manufacturer specs and local building code. When work is complete, the lead installer does a quality check before calling you for the final walkthrough. You inspect every elevation — we go through it with you, address anything that needs attention, and make sure the site is clean and restored before we invoice.
Every crew that works on your home carries a current contractor's license for OH, full general liability, and workers' compensation. We'll email you the certificates before we arrive — not after you ask three times.
Upfront pricing means you know what you're paying before a single panel comes off the wall. Change orders require your written approval. We've built our reputation in Jerusalem, OH on the fact that our estimates are reliable.
When we book your project, we commit to a start date. No bumping you for a bigger job, no weeks of silence after signing. We operate with enough crew capacity to honor the schedule we gave you.
We've seen what happens when crews leave siding debris sitting for a week. Nails in the lawn, panels blocking access, dust in the HVAC intake. Our cleanup protocol runs end-of-day, not end-of-project.
Every Siding project we complete is backed by our written workmanship warranty. If anything we installed fails due to installation error — a panel pulls loose, a trim joint opens, moisture gets in at a transition we sealed — we come back at no charge and fix it. Not a credit, not a partial. Fixed.

We were replacing deteriorated T1-11 on a house we'd bought the year before. Forge Siding walked us through why HardiePlank made more sense than vinyl for our wall orientation and explained the flashing work that needed to happen around the windows before panels went on. Project started on the date they said. Crew cleaned up every afternoon. The job came in within a couple hundred dollars of the estimate.
I manage a twelve-unit building in Jerusalem and we needed LP SmartSide on three facades before winter. Forge Siding coordinated with our property manager, worked around tenant schedules, delivered materials in two staged drops to keep the lot clear, and finished four days ahead of the original schedule. Commercial billing was clean and documented. They're on our preferred vendor list now.
The fascia and soffit on our older home were rotting away and we assumed it would be a nightmare project. Forge Siding quoted it alongside the siding replacement so everything was done in one mobilization. The crew found two spots where the rafter tails had started to soften — they showed me photos before touching anything and walked me through the repair options. The whole exterior looks like a different house now.
I had a specific architectural profile I wanted for the gable ends — a shingle exposure pattern — and everyone else told me it was a custom order with a six-week wait. Forge Siding had it in stock through their regional supplier and we started within two weeks of signing. The detail work at the gable peaks is clean and exact. Not every contractor has the skill to do that level of trim work.
I'm a home inspector by trade, so I know what cutting corners on a siding installation actually looks like behind the panels. Forge Siding's work is correct — right fastener pattern, proper clearances from grade and roofline, continuous housewrap with taped seams at all penetrations. This is how it's supposed to be done and most of the crews I see in Jerusalem, OH don't do it this way.
We had three bids and Forge Siding was the only contractor who physically checked the housewrap condition before quoting. Everyone else just looked at the surface. They found a section of torn WRB behind the garage bay that needed patching and included it in the estimate. When you're spending this much on an exterior, you want a company that checks the whole wall system, not just what they can see from the ground.
