Ladue’s 1920s Colonial and Tudor homes carry beautiful brick and stucco, but the wood trim, soffit, and fascia rarely age as gracefully under a mature tree canopy. Fiber cement siding from Top Quality Exteriors gives your home a low-maintenance, moisture-resistant upgrade that preserves the architectural character your established neighborhood is known for. As a Ladue fiber cement siding contractor, we install the category’s leading brands and carefully match profiles, textures, and paint tones to the original pre-war design details.
Fiber cement covers several premium brands, which lets Ladue homeowners compare options rather than commit to a single manufacturer. We install James Hardie siding in Ladue alongside Nichiha and Allura panel systems, walking you through lap profiles, ColorPlus finishes, and 30-year non-prorated warranty coverage so the choice fits your home, style, and budget. Every board is factory pre-finished, fire-resistant, and engineered to resist rot, moisture, and wood-boring insects for 60 years or more of curb appeal.
Ladue sits in one of the country’s most active hail corridors, and the metro averages three to five significant hail events per year. Combined with wooded lots, a mature tree canopy, damp north-facing walls, and hard freeze-thaw swings each winter, wood and older hardboard siding on Ladue additions and mid-century modern homes simply doesn’t hold up the way it used to. Fiber cement solves that problem directly: a Portland-cement, sand, and cellulose fiber board that will not warp, crack, feed termites, or fuel a fire, and that shrugs off wind-driven rain and impact from limb strikes during spring storms. Our crews install lap siding, shingle siding, and vertical panels with proper flashing, ice and water shield around windows, weather-resistant barriers, and manufacturer-spec starter strips at every course. If you’re weighing options against engineered wood, our team also installs LP SmartSide siding in Ladue and can walk you through the trade-offs before you commit to a material.
Every Ladue fiber cement job runs through the same five-step process, from the first walk-around at your curb to the final punch list. It’s built to protect your home, your landscaping, and your schedule, and to give you a clean answer at each stage.
We start with an on-site walk-around at your Ladue home to inspect the siding. Our team notes rot, warping, and moisture damage under the wood. Then we photograph every elevation.
We walk you through James Hardie, Nichiha, and Allura options. You compare lap, shingle, and vertical panel profiles plus ColorPlus finishes. Then we lock in the fit for your home.
Our crew strips old siding, hauls it off, and protects your Ladue landscaping. We inspect sheathing and repair rotted framing before the wrap. Then we install a weather barrier.
We hang fiber cement boards to manufacturer spec with proper fasteners and gaps. Flashing goes at every window, door, and roof-wall joint. Then we caulk and seal for tightness.
We walk the exterior with you to review every course, corner, and trim detail. Our crew cleans up, hauls debris, and confirms warranty coverage in writing. Then we hand it over.
Top Quality Exteriors is a James Hardie Alliance Program Member and a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, and we bring 7+ years of industry experience to every Ladue project. Our crews are trained on brand-specific installation methods for Hardie, Nichiha, and Allura board so gaps, fastener depth, and joint detailing meet each manufacturer’s spec. That certification protects your material warranty and your long-term investment in the property.
Ladue’s Building Department at 314-997-6308 requires a permit for full siding replacement, and inspection scheduling must be called in by 3:00 PM at least 48 hours ahead of the desired day. We handle that paperwork, coordinate the 2–6 typical inspections, and keep the project moving on schedule with clean daily communication. If the rear elevation, garage, or a detached structure needs a coordinated look, our team also offers vinyl siding in Ladue for accessory areas.
Fiber cement siding in the St. Louis metro runs $8–$14 per square foot installed, with a typical full-home project averaging around $14,000. Ladue projects tend to sit at the upper end because of the material profile chosen, the ColorPlus factory finish premium, and the trim, soffit, and fascia detailing that pre-war Colonials and Tudors demand for authenticity. We quote every job line-by-line so you can see exactly where the number comes from and what each layer costs.
Compare that against 60+ years of expected service life, a 30-year non-prorated product warranty, and a firm 36-month workmanship warranty from Top Quality Exteriors, and the annual cost of ownership drops well below vinyl or paint-cycle wood siding. Hearth and GreenSky financing options are available for qualified Ladue homeowners, and we can phase the project by elevation so a large custom home can spread the investment across multiple seasons if it helps your budget.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
