Des Peres homes and this kind of project
Because Des Peres is made up of original ranches and the large new homes replacing them, the first thing we check for a siding replacement here is soft spots under windows, roof-to-wall intersections and what is beneath the current siding.
The housing stock here: a mix of mid-century ranches and large homes built since 2000.
Walls of this period often have no weather barrier or insulation, and re-siding is the chance to add both.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Des Peres
Screened porches, covered patios and additions. Lot coverage limits are a real constraint given the size of new homes.
Aluminum siding, single-pane windows and wood fascia are typical on Des Peres homes from this period. Replacing siding is a chance to add a proper weather barrier and insulation that these walls never had.
What is included
We work one elevation at a time on Des Peres homes so no wall is left open overnight, and we photograph every flashing detail before it is covered.
We take on siding replacement work in and around neighborhoods off Manchester, Ballas and Dougherty Ferry roads.
What we watch for
Chimney chases sided in wood or hardboard on Des Peres homes often rot from the top cap down. We rebuild them with rot-proof materials and a properly sloped metal cap.
Working on lots where coverage limits are a real constraint, as we do in Des Peres, we plan access for a siding crew and carpenters before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Des Peres
In Des Peres, a siding replacement is reviewed by the City of Des Peres. What follows is a permit in cities that require one for re-siding.
Exterior work in Des Peres can also involve lot-coverage and height limits, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
On site, a siding replacement in Des Peres generally runs one to three weeks.
Des Peres sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to I-270 south, about forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What our siding & exterior trim looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Des Peres; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.

Siding & Exterior Trim in Des Peres: common questions
How long does a siding replacement take in Des Peres?
One to three weeks for a typical home. For Des Peres we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a siding replacement in Des Peres?
Possibly. In Des Peres you may be dealing with lot-coverage and height limits. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can new siding go over the old?
We do not recommend it. You lose the chance to repair sheathing and flash the windows, and it creates trim problems at every opening.
