Siding Installation
Siding Installation in Macomb County, MI
New home, a fresh addition, or a wall that has never been sided? We install vinyl and fiber cement siding from the sheathing out, giving Michigan homes a finished, weather-ready exterior the first time around.
Siding Built On From the Start
This page is for homeowners putting siding on for the first time, not swapping out old panels. New builds, second-story additions, attached garages, dormers, and homes finished in stucco or brick that are moving to low-maintenance siding all start the same way: a bare, papered wall waiting for a durable skin.
Because there is nothing to tear off, a new install is cleaner and quicker than a re-side, and the crew can dial in every detail from the ground up, straight starter courses, tight corners, and trim that matches your rooflines. If your home already has siding that has failed, our siding replacement service covers tear-off and wall inspection instead.
Shelby Construction is a family-owned contractor based in Clinton Township with more than six years finishing exteriors across the region. We are a Mastic Elite Contractor, so the vinyl systems we hang, including the Quest and Carvedwood lines, come with manufacturer-backed warranties and installer training behind them.
Siding Material Options
Two materials cover almost every new siding job in Michigan. Which one fits depends on your budget, the look you want, and how the home sits on its lot.
Vinyl & Insulated Vinyl
The go-to for new installs across southeast Michigan. Color runs through the panel so it never needs painting, and it goes up fast, which keeps labor down on a fresh build.
- Insulated backer adds R-2.0 to R-3.5
- Flexes in cold snaps instead of cracking
- Wide color and profile range
Fiber Cement
A heavier, rigid board with a true wood-grain face. Non-combustible and resistant to rot, pests, and warping, so it suits homes near tree lines or in neighborhoods with an older architectural style.
- Authentic wood-look texture
- 30-plus year service life
- Fire and impact resistant
Not sure which way to lean? Stop by the Clinton Township showroom and put samples of both side by side, or ask the crew during your estimate. New windows often pair well with siding on a fresh build, so it is worth looking at window options at the same time to keep the exterior consistent.
How a New Siding Install Works
A fresh install skips the tear-off, so the job is mostly about a clean, square starting point and tight detailing. Here is the sequence we follow on every home.
Free On-Site Measure
We walk the walls, measure the elevations, and give you an honest written estimate with your material and color picked out. No pressure, no guesswork on price.
Weather Barrier & Prep
We confirm the sheathing is sound and install house wrap plus flashing at windows, doors, and penetrations so the wall is sealed against wind-driven rain before a single panel goes up.
Starter, Trim & Corners
A level starter course sets the whole job. We set corner posts, J-channel, and trim first so every run of siding lands clean and the finished lines stay straight.
Panel Installation
Your vinyl or fiber cement goes on to manufacturer spec, fastened with the right expansion gap so it moves through Michigan's temperature swings without buckling.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
We run a magnet for stray nails, clear the site, and walk the property with you before we call it finished. Scheduling siding alongside a new roof installation keeps both crews coordinated and the exterior on one timeline.
Energy Efficiency From the Wall Out
Michigan winters push heating systems hard, and a bare or thinly clad wall lets that heat leak out through the cavity. A new install is the chance to build efficiency in from the start rather than bolting it on later.
Insulated vinyl adds a rigid foam backer that lays continuous insulation across the studs, cutting the thermal bridging that standard batt insulation alone leaves behind. Paired with a properly lapped house wrap, that closes the air leaks that make rooms feel drafty and drive winter bills up.
For homeowners chasing lower energy costs across the whole envelope, tightening up the roofline with attic insulation works hand in hand with an insulated exterior.
Financing Your Siding
Siding a full home is a real investment, so we offer financing with $0 down and low monthly payments. That lets you finish the entire exterior in one project instead of doing one elevation at a time.
We lay out the numbers with your written estimate, so the monthly figure is clear before you commit.

Siding Installation FAQ
Do you install siding on new construction and additions?
Yes. We install siding on newly built homes, room additions, attached garages, dormers, and any wall going from bare sheathing to a finished exterior. Because there is no tear-off, the crew works directly over house wrap and can match the new siding to the existing home when needed.
How much does siding installation cost in Michigan?
A new residential siding install generally runs from about $8,000 for a smaller elevation or addition up to roughly $30,000 for a full two-story home in premium fiber cement. Square footage, material, and trim detail drive the price. We give a written quote after measuring the walls on site.
Should I choose vinyl or fiber cement for a new install?
Vinyl, especially insulated vinyl, is the value choice for most Michigan homes and never needs painting. Fiber cement costs more but gives an authentic wood-grain look and stands up well near tree lines. We show samples of both at our Clinton Township showroom so you can compare in person.
How long does a new siding installation take?
An addition or single elevation is often finished in a day or two. A full new-construction home usually takes three to five working days, weather permitting. New installs move faster than replacements because there is no old siding to remove or hidden damage to repair.
Can you install siding before winter?
Late summer and fall are the busiest and best time so the exterior is sealed before the first freeze. We install year-round and plan the schedule around the forecast, since vinyl handles cold-weather installation better than many materials.
Do you offer financing for siding installation?
Yes. We offer financing with $0 down and low monthly payments so you can side the whole home at once instead of doing one elevation at a time.
