Siding & gutters built for wind country
Siding and gutters are the working skin of a house, and along the Wasatch they earn their keep the hard way — canyon winds that pry at laps and corners, high-elevation sun, and freeze-thaw cycles that punish anything installed loose. Siding and gutters go on every home we build, so this is routine work for us — and we offer siding replacement and repair and gutter installation across our whole service area, Salt Lake City to Brigham City, the same way we run every job: a free written estimate with the scope, price, and timeline on paper before work starts.
Siding in a canyon-wind county
Wind works on siding the same way it works on shingles: it finds the edge. Loose starter courses, unsealed corners, and aged fasteners give a 90 mph east-wind event somewhere to start, and once a course lifts, its neighbors follow. Installation quality — fastening schedule, flashing at openings, clean integration with housewrap — matters more here than in places where the weather is polite. That is general-contractor work, not a rush job from a door-knocker after a storm. It is also work we already know from the ground up: every custom home we build gets its siding and gutters as part of the job, so hanging them right is part of how a house gets finished, not a sideline.
Gutters are foundation protection
Gutters look like trim and work like drainage infrastructure. Undersized, sagging, or badly-pitched gutters dump roof water at the foundation, where Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils turn it into settling, damp basements, and iced walkways. An installation scope worth signing covers sizing for the roof area, pitch to the downspouts, hanger spacing that holds under snow and ice sliding off the roof, and downspout placement that moves water away from the house — in writing, like everything else we do.
One contractor for the whole exterior
Roof, siding, and gutters share every edge of the building, and the failures happen where they meet — flashing transitions, drip edges, the line where a gutter meets the fascia. Running them under one written scope means the details that live between trades actually get owned by someone. As a licensed Utah general contractor (B100 General Building, license 11678454-5501, verifiable at dopl.utah.gov), we scope the exterior as one system and put the whole thing on paper.
The written estimate, same as always
Every siding and gutter project starts with a free written estimate: what is coming off, what is going on, how openings and transitions get flashed, where the water goes, the price, and the schedule. If part of the job should wait — or does not need doing at all — the estimate says so. That is the same honesty that runs our roofing and remodel work, applied to the outside of the house.
FAQ
Common questions
Do you handle siding repairs, or only full replacement?
Both — the job is sized to what the wall actually needs. Wind that strips a corner or a course of siding does not always condemn the whole elevation, and an honest written scope says which it is: a matched repair, one weather side re-clad, or a full replacement. If matching aged material is impossible, the estimate says that too, before anything is ordered.
Does homeowners insurance cover wind-damaged siding?
Wind is a commonly covered peril on homeowner policies, and siding claims follow the same sequence as roof claims: photograph the damage before anything is touched, prevent further damage, and get a line-item written scope to compare against the adjuster's assessment. Your policy sets the terms and deductible — read it or call your agent first.
How do I know if my gutters need replacing instead of cleaning?
Look for seams pulling apart, sections pulling off the fascia, standing water or sag between hangers, rust or peeling at the seams, and — the tell people miss — soil trenching or foundation staining below the gutter line, which means water is going where it should not. Cleaning fixes clogs; none of those other problems clean away.
