Siding That Honors Upper Arlington’s Older Homes and Protects Them
Upper Arlington’s established streets near Ohio State are full of older colonials and Tudors with real architectural character, and the wrong siding can flatten that overnight. As a James Hardie certified contractor, we install fiber-cement siding with profiles and trim that suit these homes while sealing them against Central Ohio weather. Veteran-owned, fully licensed, and installed by our own W-2 crews, never unlicensed subcontractors.

We Start With the Truth
Older UA Homes Deserve Siding Done With Care
Many Upper Arlington homes were built decades ago, and their original wood siding and trim have taken years of Ohio freeze-thaw and moisture. When the paint keeps failing and the corners soften with rot, endless repainting stops being worth it. The risk is replacing character siding with something flat and cheap that ruins the look of a Tudor or colonial. We match profiles and details that respect the home, then install fiber-cement that keeps the look without the constant upkeep.
What We Do
What Our Upper Arlington Siding Work Covers
Profile and Trim to Suit the Home
Colonials and Tudors need the right lap widths and trim proportions. We choose James Hardie profiles that keep the home’s character instead of erasing it.
Weather and Moisture Protection
Under Upper Arlington’s mature tree canopy, walls stay damp and shaded longer. Fiber-cement resists the rot, moisture, and pests that punish older wood siding.
Trim, Soffit, and Fascia
We rebuild the trim, soffit, and fascia with HardieTrim so the whole exterior is tight and finished, not just the field siding.

Tudor Detail, Stone, and Post War Simplicity
Most of Upper Arlington went up between the 1920s and the 1970s, and siding here is usually a partial job rather than a whole house one. Old Arlington and the streets near Tremont and Redding carry 1920s and 1930s Tudor revivals, stone colonials and Craftsman houses, often with cladding only on gables, dormers and additions. Kingsdale holds more of the same era. The post war expansion east and west brought ranches and split levels with far plainer walls.
We work throughout 43221 and 43220. On the older houses the difficulty is almost always matching what is already there rather than covering it.

What Your Walls Actually Need
What Decides a Siding Job on an Upper Arlington Home
Older houses where siding is usually one elevation, not the whole building. These four things decide it.
Matching Across a Single Elevation
Replacing one gable on a Tudor means matching profile, exposure and color to boards that have weathered for decades. Sometimes that is achievable and sometimes the honest answer is to do the whole elevation. We say which before we quote.
Trim Around the Openings
On a period house the trim around windows and doors carries the character. Wrapping it flat in a modern profile flattens the whole facade. Rebuilding those details properly is most of the skill in a job like this.
Period Correct Board Widths
Narrow exposures suit these houses; wide modern panels do not. The width of what shows is a period decision as much as an aesthetic one, and it is worth getting right on a street where every house is looking at every other.
What the Flashing Behind It Is Doing
Older walls often have flashing details that were never right, or that were sealed over during a previous job. Opening one up is the only way to find out, and it is where most of the surprises on these houses live.

Questions, Answered
Siding in Upper Arlington: Common Questions
Yes. James Hardie offers lap, shingle, and panel profiles in widths that suit older Upper Arlington homes, so we can preserve the proportions and detailing that give a colonial or Tudor its look.
UA’s mature tree canopy keeps walls damp and slows drying, which rots wood siding and grows mildew. Fiber-cement resists moisture and holds its finish far better in those shaded, north-facing conditions.
Much better. James Hardie’s ColorPlus finish is baked on at the factory and holds up for years, so you stop the cycle of scraping and repainting that older UA homes demand.
Always. On older homes we expect to find soft sheathing or trim, and we repair it before new siding goes up so you are not sealing rot inside the wall.
Your home is sided only by our own licensed, in-house crews. We never hand the work to unlicensed subcontractors.
