Your fiber cement project deserves a crew that treats a St. Louis brick home differently than a suburban frame ranch. Reach out today for a free walk-through and a written line-item estimate. We answer calls quickly and schedule visits fast.
Most St. Louis homes are load-bearing red brick from the Cheltenham clay era, so fiber cement siding in St. Louis rarely means wrapping a whole house from corner to corner. It usually means replacing the wood cornices, soffits, fascia, dormer cheeks, and rear-addition walls that rot after decades of humid summers and hard freeze-thaw winters. If your Dutchtown bungalow or Tower Grove two-flat has splitting soffits, peeling fascia trim, or a rear addition losing paint every spring, Top Quality Exteriors scopes the job to what your brick facade actually needs today.
Fiber cement is a paintable blend of Portland cement, sand, and cellulose fiber engineered to shrug off hail impact, fire, moisture, and wood-boring insects for 60-plus years. On brick homes near Bevo Mill and Lafayette Square, we install fiber cement lap, shingle, panel, and matching trim profiles from Alliance-tier manufacturers, backed by a firm 36-month workmanship warranty and product warranties up to 30 years. Compare our approach against vinyl siding in St. Louis and the longevity difference is obvious.
Fiber cement lands differently on a St. Louis brick two-flat than it does on a suburban frame ranch, and our crews plan the job accordingly. On Soulard rowhouses and Holly Hills bungalows, we tear off failed wood trim down to the sheathing, install a fresh weather barrier, and hand-cut fiber cement to fit around limestone sills, brick returns, dormer cheeks, and coping. We use stainless or galvanized ring-shank nails at the manufacturer blind-nail pattern, back-caulk butt joints, and prime every cut edge because a raw edge in humid Missouri air is where rot starts. Rear-addition wraps get rigid-foam underlayment and taped seams for real R-value, not just a cosmetic layer. For homeowners planning a full replacement of the frame portions of a home, our James Hardie siding in St. Louis crews are Alliance Program Members, so ColorPlus panels and 30-year non-prorated warranty work is installed to spec. Every scope is documented with photos and a written line-item estimate before we start.
Getting fiber cement installed on a St. Louis brick home is not a one-truck operation, and we do not treat it that way. We follow a five-step process so the finished siding holds up through hail season, ice storms, and the humid summers between them.
We meet you at the home, walk every wall, and photograph rot and hail damage. We measure each elevation and note brick-to-frame junctions carefully. Our visit runs about an hour.
Back at the office we build a line-item scope covering tear-off, trim, panels, and paint. You get a written estimate within two business days. We walk every line before you sign.
We pull colors, profiles, and trim from your approved list and stage all materials. Fiber cement ships on pallets that need dry storage on-site. We coordinate the drop with you.
Crews tear off failed trim, install weather barrier, and blind-nail every panel to spec. Butt joints get back-caulked and every cut edge is primed. Site stays swept clean nightly.
We power-wash the work zone, run a magnetic sweep for nails, and walk every elevation. Punch-list items get fixed the same day when we can. Your workmanship warranty starts here.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022 on the back of over 7 years of industry experience installing siding, soffit, and fascia across the St. Louis area. We are a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in both Missouri and Illinois, and carry general liability and workers compensation insurance on every crew that steps on your property. Homeowners near Forest Park and the Bevo Mill windmill hire us because we scope brick homes honestly.
We are also a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, so our fiber cement crews trained directly on Hardie install specs, flashing details, and ColorPlus finish handling. That training pays off during humid Missouri weeks when fiber cement is easiest to install wrong. For homeowners weighing their material options, we compare fiber cement lap against engineered wood from our LP SmartSide siding in St. Louis crews side by side in your own yard, no upsell script involved.
Fiber cement siding installed in the St. Louis area runs roughly eight to fourteen dollars per square foot, with the average full-frame install landing around fourteen thousand three hundred dollars. On a brick home in Dutchtown or The Hill where we are only replacing cornices, dormer cheeks, soffits, and a rear addition, the total is usually far lower because the covered square footage is much smaller than a whole-house wrap. Every free estimate is line-item and honest.
Financing runs through Hearth and GreenSky for qualified homeowners, so a full frame wrap on a Lafayette Square carriage house does not have to hit savings all at once. Fiber cement is a long-horizon investment: a 60-plus-year lifespan spread over a monthly payment often costs less per year than repainting cedar every five years. Ask about extended workmanship warranty options and product warranties up to 30 years non-prorated when we quote your project this season.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
