Your home's exterior takes a beating every single day — sun, wind, rain, impact. When siding fails, moisture gets in fast and damage follows. Forge Siding sends licensed Siding crews across New Paris, IN to inspect, repair, and replace with zero guesswork.
Forge Siding grew out of a simple frustration: too many New Paris homeowners were paying good money for Siding work that failed inside five years. Wrong profiles, wrong fastener gauges, no housewrap — then the callbacks never came. We do it right the first time, using manufacturer-recommended installation methods and materials rated for IN's specific climate demands.
Every estimate is itemized and written down before we ever ask for a signature. You'll see material costs, labor, disposal, and any underlying repair work broken out separately — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. We've completed thousands of Siding projects across New Paris, IN and our callback rate is under two percent. That number matters to us.
Siding doesn't fail overnight — it gives you warning signs first. Catch them early and a repair handles it. Miss them, and you're looking at rot, mold, and structural repairs on top of the siding bill.
Even a small gap at a butt joint or around a window trim is an entry point. Water wicks in, freeze-thaw cycles widen the gap, and the damage compounds every winter.
Buckling almost always means the substrate underneath has moved — often because moisture got behind the panel weeks or months ago. The panel is showing you the symptom, not the cause.
Paint peeling on your inside walls near exterior surfaces is a classic sign that moisture is migrating inward through failing siding. By the time you see it inside, the wall cavity is already compromised.
A missing panel after a wind event or impact isn't just cosmetic damage. That exposed sheathing is collecting rain until you replace it. This is one repair that can't wait for a convenient schedule.
Old or failing siding, particularly if the housewrap underneath has deteriorated, acts like a thermal short-circuit. Your HVAC runs harder to compensate, and the bills reflect it before the siding looks obviously bad.
Extreme fading means UV degradation — the protective surface layer is gone. Chalking on older paint-based systems signals the same. At that stage, the panel is no longer blocking UV penetration to the substrate underneath.
Every job below starts with a free written estimate. We specify the product, the profile, the color, and the installation method upfront — so there's no ambiguity when work begins.
Fiber cement is the workhorse material we recommend most in IN's climate — it handles humidity, impact, and UV better than most alternatives and carries manufacturer warranties that actually hold up. We're certified installers for HardiePlank, HardieShingle, and competing fiber cement systems. Installation follows manufacturer specs to the millimeter: correct lap, correct fastener type and spacing, correct clearance from grade and roof surface, and full housewrap integration on every project.
Done right, vinyl siding is durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective. Done wrong — wrong gauge, wrong fastener pattern, no expansion clearance — it warps in the heat and pulls loose in wind. We use .044" and .046" gauge panels minimum and follow thermal expansion specs precisely for IN's temperature range. Nail hem fastening at 16" centers, 1/32" expansion gap at all trim terminations, and a fully integrated vinyl accessory system so the corners, J-channel, and window trim all work together.
LP SmartSide and similar engineered wood products split the difference between the look of real wood and the dimensional stability of manufactured products. They're primed at the factory, accept field-applied paint well, and hold up to impact and moisture better than OSB or solid wood. We use LP SmartSide Trim & Fascia alongside the panel and lap systems so the trim package matches — no mixing incompatible products that age differently.
Not every siding problem needs a full re-side. Storm impact, vandalism, or isolated rot can often be addressed with a targeted repair that blends into the existing field. We stock common profiles and can often source discontinued patterns through our supplier network for historic or older homes where matching matters. Partial replacement work is priced honestly — if we see a repair scope that's going to creep, we say so before we start, not after.
We work with metal panel systems, large-format fiber cement, and commercial-grade vinyl for multi-family and light commercial applications. EIFS compatibility work, expansion joint detailing, and coordination with waterproofing and window subcontractors are all in scope. We carry the insurance requirements for commercial GC work and can provide certified payroll documentation for public projects.
Siding that terminates at rotted or missing fascia boards isn't protected — it's channeling water straight into the rafter tails. We routinely pair siding replacement with trim, soffit, and fascia work so the entire exterior envelope is addressed in one mobilization rather than two. PVC trim board, prefinished aluminum coil, and fiber cement fascia are all in our wheelhouse.
We built our process around the two complaints we heard from homeowners most: contractors who didn't communicate, and scopes that changed after signing. Here's exactly how a Forge Siding project runs from start to finish.
A thorough inspection before we quote means the estimate we hand you is accurate. We check the substrate, the existing housewrap or vapor barrier, window and door flashing, corner and soffit condition — all of it — so there are no hidden surprises once demo starts.
You receive a line-by-line written estimate: material cost by product and quantity, labor, removal and disposal of existing siding, and any sheathing repair identified in the assessment. We walk through material options with physical samples, not just catalog photos. You sign off on the spec before we order anything.
We schedule your project start date at contract signing and stick to it. Materials are delivered directly to the site before crew arrival — no day-of scrambling. We protect landscaping, windows, and any surfaces adjacent to the work area before the first panel comes off.
Installation follows manufacturer specs and local building code. When work is complete, the lead installer does a quality check before calling you for the final walkthrough. You inspect every elevation — we go through it with you, address anything that needs attention, and make sure the site is clean and restored before we invoice.
Every crew that works on your home carries a current contractor's license for IN, full general liability, and workers' compensation. We'll email you the certificates before we arrive — not after you ask three times.
Upfront pricing means you know what you're paying before a single panel comes off the wall. Change orders require your written approval. We've built our reputation in New Paris, IN on the fact that our estimates are reliable.
When we book your project, we commit to a start date. No bumping you for a bigger job, no weeks of silence after signing. We operate with enough crew capacity to honor the schedule we gave you.
Old siding demo generates a lot of debris — old panels, nails, housewrap, fasteners. We haul it out daily. Your driveway, lawn, and landscaping are clean at the end of every work day — not just at project completion.
Every Siding project we complete is backed by our written workmanship warranty. If anything we installed fails due to installation error — a panel pulls loose, a trim joint opens, moisture gets in at a transition we sealed — we come back at no charge and fix it. Not a credit, not a partial. Fixed.

We were replacing deteriorated T1-11 on a house we'd bought the year before. Forge Siding walked us through why HardiePlank made more sense than vinyl for our wall orientation and explained the flashing work that needed to happen around the windows before panels went on. Project started on the date they said. Crew cleaned up every afternoon. The job came in within a couple hundred dollars of the estimate.
I manage a twelve-unit building in New Paris and we needed LP SmartSide on three facades before winter. Forge Siding coordinated with our property manager, worked around tenant schedules, delivered materials in two staged drops to keep the lot clear, and finished four days ahead of the original schedule. Commercial billing was clean and documented. They're on our preferred vendor list now.
The fascia and soffit on our older home were rotting away and we assumed it would be a nightmare project. Forge Siding quoted it alongside the siding replacement so everything was done in one mobilization. The crew found two spots where the rafter tails had started to soften — they showed me photos before touching anything and walked me through the repair options. The whole exterior looks like a different house now.
I had a specific architectural profile I wanted for the gable ends — a shingle exposure pattern — and everyone else told me it was a custom order with a six-week wait. Forge Siding had it in stock through their regional supplier and we started within two weeks of signing. The detail work at the gable peaks is clean and exact. Not every contractor has the skill to do that level of trim work.
Five-star work across the board. The crew showed up when scheduled, worked efficiently, and the lead walked me around the house at the end of each day so I could see progress and raise any questions before the next morning. The final product is outstanding — tight lap lines, perfect miters at the corners, no nail pops. My neighbor has already asked for Forge Siding's contact information.
I needed a quick turnaround on a rental property before a new tenant moved in. Forge Siding fit us in on short notice, did a clean vinyl replacement on two elevations, and the inspection cleared without a single callback item. Responsive, professional, priced fairly. That's all I ask for and they delivered all three.
