Siding For Kent Homes
Siding on a Kent home has two jobs: how the house looks and keeping water out of the wall. Most of the protection is in the layer you cannot see: house wrap, flashing at windows and doors, and how the panels are fastened so they can move with temperature.
We work Kent from our Wadsworth office, about 35 min away. Siding jobs start with a free inspection and a written estimate within three business days.
What We Install
- Vinyl siding in insulated and standard profiles
- Fiber cement siding
- House wrap and window and door flashing

- Storm-damage siding repair and partial replacement
Local Factors In Kent
Weather
The weather pattern in Kent matters: winter runs longer and wetter here than anywhere else in Ohio, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
Housing
There is a pattern to the homes in Kent as well: the housing here skews considerably older than central Ohio, which means steeper pitches, cut-up rooflines and decks that have seen three roofs.
Signs Your Siding Needs Attention
- Cracked, holed or warped panels, especially after hail
- Panels that have come loose or buckled
- Fading on one side of the house
- Soft or rotted sheathing behind the siding
Cost Of Siding In Kent
Siding price depends on wall area, the product, how much trim and how many openings there are, and whether the sheathing underneath needs repair. Color matching is the hard part of a partial repair, because vinyl lines get discontinued.
Permits In Kent
Siding replacement in Kent generally needs a permit: City of Kent or Portage County, depending on the parcel. Whether it goes through the city or Portage County depends on the parcel, not the mailing address. We file it and book the inspection.
