Siding & Exterior Trim in Lake St. Louis, Missouri

Lake St. Louis homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a siding replacement in Lake St. Louis is spent on soft spots under windows, roof-to-wall intersections and what is beneath the current siding, which tells us how 1970s lake houses and the newer homes around Hawk Ridge were put together.

The housing stock here: a mix of 1970s and 1980s contemporaries, ranches and split-levels near the lakes, and larger 1990s to 2010s two-stories and villas in the Hawk Ridge area and south of the interstate.

Swollen hardboard and thin builder vinyl are what we strip most often.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Lake St. Louis

Tall decks facing the water are the signature project. Many are original and overdue for replacement. Steep rear yards make footing access and stair design the hard part. The community association reviews decks, docks, colors and roofed structures.

Hardboard siding, wood brickmould and builder-grade vinyl windows on Lake St. Louis homes of this period are all reaching failure at once. We see swollen siding at the bottom courses, rot at trim ends and fogged glass.

What is included

We work one elevation at a time on Lake St. Louis homes so no wall is left open overnight, and we photograph every flashing detail before it is covered.

We take on siding replacement work across Lake St. Louis, from Lake Saint Louise to Heritage of Hawk Ridge and Hawk Ridge.

What we watch for

Chimney chases sided in wood or hardboard on Lake St. Louis homes often rot from the top cap down. We rebuild them with rot-proof materials and a properly sloped metal cap.

Lake St. Louis properties tend to be sloping, wooded lots that fall toward the water, and that affects how we stage materials, where a siding crew and carpenters park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Lake St. Louis

The City of Lake Saint Louis is where we file for a siding replacement in Lake St. Louis, and the job will see a permit in cities that require one for re-siding.

Exterior work in Lake St. Louis can also involve the Lake Saint Louis Community Association, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a siding replacement in Lake St. Louis generally runs one to three weeks.

From our Wentzville base, Lake St. Louis is a short run east on I-70 or down Highway 40/61. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.

What moves the price in Lake St. Louis

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

• Material choice.
• Stories and how complex the rooflines and gables are.
