Ready for honest siding numbers on your U City home? Call (314) 618-8888 or send a few photos and we’ll schedule a free, no-pressure walk-through this week. You’ll leave with real material options and a flat-price scope, no surprise upsells.
Siding installation in University City, MO isn’t a copy-paste job. Most homes south of Delmar were built 1900–1930, and brick runs from the water table up to the eave — wood siding surfaces only on gables, dormers, porch ceilings, and second-story accents. At Top Quality Exteriors we plan around that reality, not a generic vinyl-wrap template. Whether you’re patching a rotted gable end in Parkview or re-wrapping a north-of-Olive ranch, the material choice, the trim details, and the historic-district paperwork all shift with the block.
We arrive as trained installers, not order-takers — Owens Corning® Preferred Contractors and James Hardie® Alliance Program members with real field time behind the paperwork. Every project starts with a ladder-level check of your fascia, soffit, and sheathing, then a written scope that spells out flashing, house wrap, and paint-matched trim. On brick-primary homes we pair fiber cement gable panels with wrapped aluminum trim; on north-side ranches we spec full vinyl siding in University City or LP SmartSide.
University City siding runs on rules other suburbs don’t have. Contractor registration is mandatory before we pull a permit at City Hall on Delmar, and the building code passes through Planning & Zoning on the 4th floor. If your home sits inside the Delmar Loop–Parkview Gardens Historic District — or within 300 feet of a landmark like the Lion Gates or the Sutter-Meyer House — the Historic Preservation Commission gets 45 days to review any material or color change. In Parkview and University Heights, the private board of trustees can add architectural rules on top of city code, and we plan around all of it. Storm exposure sets the pace too: 83 hail reports landed within 10 miles of U City in 2024, with the largest at 2.25 inches, and the May 2025 quarter-size event bruised panels across mature-canopy blocks in Forsyth and West Jackson Park. Metro-wide, the St. Louis area averages three to five significant hail events per year, which is why we spec impact-rated fiber cement and reinforced James Hardie siding in University City.
You want a straight answer on materials, timing, and paperwork before you sign anything. Our five-step process gives you that in writing, from the first walk-through to the final punch list, so nothing on your University City home gets guessed at.
We meet at your U City home at no cost to walk it. I check every gable, dormer, and soffit for rot and hail bruising. You get honest options: full wrap, partial, or repair only.
You get a written scope naming each panel line and trim run. I price the job as a flat number, not a range that drifts. Every line covers labor, brand, warranty, and any add-ons.
We register the job and pull the permit for you. If your block sits in the historic overlay, I file the HPC packet. Trustee sign-off in Parkview or University Heights is handled.
Crews stage material curbside on day one so drives stay clear. We tear off, inspect sheathing, add house wrap, then install per spec. Daily magnetic sweeps keep the yard nail-free.
You walk the finished job with me before the trailer rolls off. I hand over the warranty card and our 36-Month workmanship letter. Any punch-list item gets fixed within the week.
Credentials matter here because your neighbors will see the finished job from the sidewalk. We hold Owens Corning® Preferred Contractor status on the roofing side and James Hardie® Alliance Program membership on siding, so the products we install match the training we bring. Top Quality Exteriors is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri and carrying general liability plus workers’ comp on every crew that pulls up to your curb.
Founded in 2022, our leadership brings over 7 years of industry experience across St. Louis-area brick homes, streetcar-suburb rehabs, and post-WWII ranch re-wraps. That mix is why the University City job list keeps growing: Ames Place trim details, Maryland Terrace porch-ceiling replacements, Midland Core dormer wraps, and Forsyth Place gable-end fiber cement. Every install lands under one accountable point of contact who answers at (314) 618-8888 through the workday.
Full-home siding in University City typically runs $8,000 to $28,000 installed, with $9,796 tracking as the metro average for a mid-sized home. Vinyl sits at the low end, roughly $2 to $11 per square foot; fiber cement and James Hardie land $8 to $14 per square foot; LP SmartSide falls in the $8 to $15 range. Brick-primary homes needing only soffit, fascia, and gable-end work often close under $8,000 because the actual wrap area is fairly small.
Financing keeps the number workable for most U City homeowners. We partner with Hearth and GreenSky for monthly-payment plans that qualified homeowners can lock in before install day arrives. Every quote is written to your actual scope — not a national average — and includes our 36-Month workmanship warranty plus manufacturer product terms up to Lifetime on select lines. Need only a panel or trim fix? Our siding repair in University City service handles it.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
