When your exterior starts failing, the clock is already ticking. Forge Siding provides full Siding in Moscow, OH — from initial assessment to final cleanup — so your home is protected and your curb appeal restored.
We didn't start Forge Siding to push volume — we built it because homeowners in Moscow kept getting burned by crews who cut corners on material selection, skipped moisture barriers, and left job sites messy. That's not how we work. Every Siding project starts with an honest assessment: we look at your substrate condition, check for existing rot or moisture intrusion, and talk through your options before a single nail goes in.
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 Moscow, OH 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.
Panels that bow outward have usually absorbed moisture or were installed without adequate expansion clearance. Warped vinyl or fiber cement can't seal properly at the joints, so the problem accelerates.
Interior peeling close to an outside wall isn't a paint problem — it's a moisture infiltration problem. Your siding is the likely culprit and ignoring it turns a siding job into a drywall and mold job.
Panels that have pulled away from the wall are an open door for pests, moisture, and cold air. Nails back out over time when the substrate is soft — often a sign of prior water damage underneath.
Compromised siding reduces your wall assembly's thermal performance. If you've noticed climbing heating or cooling costs without an obvious cause, degraded siding — especially if it's letting air infiltrate — is worth investigating.
Heavy algae or mold staining on the exterior surface isn't just cosmetic — it means the surface is retaining moisture long enough for organic growth. That moisture is also working its way into the wall system.
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 comes in lap, panel, and shingle profiles, and we've installed all three on everything from Cape Cods in historic neighborhoods to large multi-unit builds. Correct installation matters enormously with this material — improper fastening or insufficient clearances void the warranty and cause edge-swell failures. Our lead installers are trained to the spec sheet, not just to what looks right on the jobsite.
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 OH'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.
Commercial and multi-unit projects have different demands — larger panel formats, longer exposure to foot traffic and equipment contact, stricter fire ratings in some occupancy classes, and coordinated scheduling with other trades. Forge Siding handles commercial cladding projects in Moscow, OH with full project management: dedicated site supervisor, daily progress reporting, and material delivery coordinated to minimize storage and laydown area on constrained sites.
Soffit ventilation is often compromised during re-siding work when installers don't maintain existing vent openings or fail to add ventilation where it was previously missing. We verify soffit net-free vent area against attic square footage before closing up the overhang — because your roofing contractor will find the problem later if we don't.
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.
Your start date is locked at signing. Crew arrives on time, materials are staged and ready, and the site is protected before demo begins. We run a tight job — no leaving panels exposed overnight when rain is in the forecast.
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.
We don't sub out work to unlicensed handymen to cut costs. Every installer on a Forge Siding project is a W-2 employee or licensed sub with verified credentials and completed manufacturer training.
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 Moscow, OH 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.
We've seen what happens when crews leave siding debris sitting for a week. Nails in the lawn, panels blocking access, dust in the HVAC intake. Our cleanup protocol runs end-of-day, not end-of-project.
Our workmanship warranty covers what we did and how we did it. The product carries the manufacturer's own warranty on top of ours. That means your home is protected twice — by the material the manufacturer stands behind, and by the installation Forge Siding guarantees.

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 Moscow 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.
We went with insulated vinyl — Forge Siding recommended the insulated backer for our exposure and the energy savings have been real. First heating season after the install, our gas bill dropped noticeably. Installation crew was professional, on time every day, and the lead installer walked me through every elevation before he called the project done.
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.
We had three bids and Forge Siding was the only contractor who physically checked the housewrap condition before quoting. Everyone else just looked at the surface. They found a section of torn WRB behind the garage bay that needed patching and included it in the estimate. When you're spending this much on an exterior, you want a company that checks the whole wall system, not just what they can see from the ground.
Real questions, real answers — no filler.
