Ready to give your Frontenac home siding that finally matches the quality of the brick, limestone, or stucco it sits beside? Call (314) 618-8888 to schedule a no-pressure on-site walkthrough with a James Hardie Alliance crew lead this week.
Your Frontenac home sits on a one- to three-acre lot under heavy oak canopy, and the wood fascia, soffit, and exterior trim on that 1950s or 1960s French Provincial almost certainly show the wear of decades of shade and trapped moisture. Top Quality Exteriors handles siding installation in Frontenac with the craftsmanship a quality-first homeowner expects from a James Hardie Alliance Program member. We replace rot-prone wood with fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered to complement your Austin white limestone, brick, or stucco facade for decades to come.
Every install starts with a walk of the elevations, a moisture-probe on the existing wood, and a candid conversation about color, profile, and the look you want to keep. We tear off old siding down to sheathing, address any sheathing rot we find, install house wrap and proper flashing, and hang ColorPlus-finished planks with hidden fastening. If hail or wind hit your roof in the same storm, our crews can pair the project with a roof replacement in Frontenac so flashing and trim integrate cleanly.
French Provincial and Traditional homes in Frontenac were framed with cedar, redwood, or pine trim that looked great in 1965 and has spent sixty winters under a mature canopy. Heavy shade keeps the trim damp, freeze-thaw cycles open seams, and a hard May thunderstorm with sideways rain finds every weak nailhead. We strip the failed material to sheathing, run rigid foam or fanfold where the assembly calls for it, install a drainable house wrap, then hang James Hardie HardiePlank, HardieShingle, or LP SmartSide depending on the elevation and the look we are matching. Joints get back-flashed, butt-joint flashing goes behind every seam, kick-out flashing protects the wall where roof meets siding, and trim is mitered or rabbeted rather than butt-jointed at corners. If the May 2025 EF3 tornado or a more recent hail event damaged your envelope, our crews can also handle siding repair in Frontenac and integrate the work cleanly with insurance documentation.
No two Frontenac elevations are the same, so we run every install through the same five checkpoints. The process below is how we move from a first walk-through to a permitted, finished siding job that protects your home for the next thirty years.
We walk every elevation, probe wood trim for soft spots, and shoot photos of each side. We confirm flashing at every roof-to-wall junction. Then we measure and price the scope.
We bring James Hardie and LP SmartSide samples to your home and view them in real light. We look at profile, ColorPlus options, and trim packages. You pick what fits your facade.
We protect landscaping, set up a tear-off zone, and strip old siding to bare sheathing. Rotted sheathing or framing gets cut out and replaced. House wrap and flashing go on next.
Planks go up with stainless ring-shank nails and proper headlap, hidden where Hardie spec allows. Trim is mitered at corners, butt joints get flashed, and kick-outs go in clean.
We pull every drop of debris with magnets and a final ground sweep. You walk every elevation with the foreman and sign off on the punch list. Warranty paperwork is filed that week.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, but the crew leads bring over 7 years of industry experience installing fiber cement and engineered wood on demanding homes. As a James Hardie Alliance Program member, we install to Hardie spec, which protects your manufacturer warranty. We pull a Frontenac permit on every job, build to the 2021 IRC code the city has adopted, and respect the 180-day permit validity window with realistic crew scheduling.
What sets the work apart on a Frontenac job is what happens at the details. Kick-out flashing at every roof-to-wall transition. Back-flashed butt joints. Mitered outside corners on Hardie trim rather than the corner-board shortcut. Stainless ring-shank nails where the spec calls for them. A clean perimeter at the end of every day. Our 36-month workmanship warranty backs every install, with extended Lifetime warranty available on selected James Hardie packages.
Full siding replacement on a 3,000 to 4,500 square foot Frontenac home generally runs between 28,000 dollars and 70,000 dollars installed, depending on profile, ColorPlus selection, and the trim package. James Hardie HardiePlank in a standard color sits at the lower end. Custom-blend ColorPlus, HardieShingle accent gables, and full Hardie trim packages push the upper end. Tear-off of two layers, sheathing replacement, and complex elevations add to the number.
We give you a written, line-item scope before any work begins, so you see square footage, accessory counts, and what each upgrade actually costs. Hearth and GreenSky financing options are available for qualified homeowners who want to spread the investment. If a recent hail or wind event drove the project, we will also handle storm damage siding repair in Frontenac and document the loss for your insurance adjuster meeting at no extra charge.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
