Siding Installation & Replacement in St. Louis
A new face for your home.
Cracked, warped, faded, or storm-damaged siding lets water behind your walls and drags down curb appeal. ECI installs and replaces siding so your home is protected and looks sharp.
Know the warning signs
What Damage Looks Like
Hail holes & cracks
Punctures and spider cracks let wind-driven rain behind panels. Often part of a storm claim alongside the roof.
Warping or buckling
Wavy panels usually mean improper nailing or heat exposure — they will keep loosening in Missouri wind.
Loose or missing panels
Exposed house wrap or sheathing should be covered fast to prevent water damage and rot.
Soft walls or interior stains
Moisture behind siding shows up as peeling interior paint, mold, or soft spots near windows.
Fading & chalking
Heavy chalking means the finish has broken down; the home looks dated and the panels become brittle.

What drives the price
- Wall square footage and number of stories
- Tear-off of old siding vs. covering
- Rotted sheathing found during removal
- House wrap, insulation board, and flashing upgrades
- Trim, corners, and window wraps
- Insurance-covered storm scope vs. retail project
Material options
- Vinyl: Affordable, low maintenance, wide color range. Insulated vinyl improves impact resistance and energy performance.
- Engineered wood: Real wood texture with treated strands that resist hail and moisture better than natural wood.
- Fiber cement: Heavy, durable and fire-resistant. Holds paint for years and stands up to Missouri humidity.
Built for St. Louis Weather
St. Louis siding takes a beating: spring hail from April through June, summer humidity, and freeze-thaw winters that open every gap. Older brick-front homes in South City and inner-ring suburbs often have aging vinyl or wood on side and rear walls, while newer St. Charles County subdivisions share builder-grade vinyl that cracks easily in hail.
Our scope process
We inspect the existing siding and the wall beneath it, discuss material and color options, and define the sections to repair or replace. House wrap, flashing, and trim details are reviewed as part of the written scope — not left to guesswork on install day.
When to call ECI
- Cracked, warped, or loose siding panels
- Hail or wind damage from Missouri storms
- Fading, chalking, or dated exterior color
- Moisture or soft spots behind existing siding

Siding Questions St. Louis Homeowners Ask
How much does siding replacement cost in St. Louis?
Most full-home vinyl projects in the St. Louis area fall between $12,000 and $28,000, with fiber cement running higher. A small repair can be a few hundred dollars. ECI gives a written estimate after measuring your home.
Will homeowners insurance pay for hail-damaged siding?
Hail and wind damage to siding is often included in a storm claim. ECI documents the damage with photos so you can review it with your carrier. We are contractors, not public adjusters.
Can you match my existing siding?
We try to source matching profiles and colors. Discontinued or faded products sometimes can't be matched — we'll show you options before any work begins.
How long does a siding project take?
Most St. Louis homes take a few working days once materials arrive, depending on size, weather, and repairs found under the old siding.
