Siding & Exterior Trim in Ladue, Missouri

Ladue homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a siding replacement in Ladue is spent on soft spots under windows, roof-to-wall intersections and what is beneath the current siding, which tells us how architect-designed houses from the 1920s to 1950s and newer estates were put together.

The housing stock here: architect-designed homes from the 1920s to 1950s, mid-century ranches and new estates on large lots.

Original wood siding is repaired and kept where possible, and districts may require it.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Ladue

Wood window and trim restoration, additions designed to be indistinguishable from the original, and terraces and porches. Architectural review is thorough.

Original wood siding and windows on Ladue's older houses can often be restored for less than the cost of quality replacements, and in historic districts that may be required. We repair with epoxy and dutchmen where sound, replace in kind where not, and use lead-safe methods throughout.

What is included

We work one elevation at a time on Ladue 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 lanes off Ladue, Warson and Litzsinger roads.

What we watch for

The spot where a lower roof dies into a wall without kick-out flashing is the most common hidden rot location on Ladue houses. We check every such intersection.

Working on large lots on winding private lanes, as we do in Ladue, we plan access for a siding crew and carpenters before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Ladue

For a siding replacement at a Ladue address, the paperwork goes to Ladue's building department. Expect a permit in cities that require one for re-siding.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on a thorough architectural review board. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a siding replacement in Ladue generally runs one to three weeks.

Ladue sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 east past Lindbergh, a little over forty minutes in normal traffic. 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 moves the price in Ladue

We price siding & exterior trim in Ladue from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Stories and how complex the rooflines and gables are.
• Sheathing and framing repair discovered on tear-off.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main siding & exterior trim page. More about the area is on our Ladue page.
