Planning an Exterior Remodel in Clinton, Step by Step

Step 1: Consultation and Inspection

We start by listening: what bothers you about the house now, and what you want it to look like. Then we inspect the roof, walls, trim and windows, measure every elevation and photograph problem areas. Everything we find goes into the estimate.

Step 2: Choosing Your Siding

James Hardie fiber cement resists rot, insects and fire, handles impact well and takes paint beautifully. It costs more and installs more slowly. Vinyl siding is lighter, lower cost and low maintenance, with insulated versions that add some comfort. In Clinton's heat and humidity, both perform well when installed over a proper weather barrier. More detail is on our Mississippi siding and exterior remodeling page.

Step 3: Understanding the Estimate

Pricing varies widely by house. As broad, client-stated ranges: asphalt shingle roofing commonly runs about $5 to $8 per square foot, and James Hardie siding about $10 to $15 per square foot installed. A complete remodel covering roof, siding and windows often falls somewhere from $30,000 to over $100,000, while small repairs may be a few hundred dollars. Your estimate itemizes everything.

Step 4: Scheduling and Installation

A roof replacement usually takes one to three days and siding one to two weeks. A combined roof, siding and window project often takes three to six weeks, depending on lead times and weather. We protect landscaping, keep the site tidy daily and keep you updated as each phase finishes.

Step 5: Final Walk-Through

Before we wrap up, we walk the house with you, address anything that needs touching up, and hand over warranty information in writing. If you need roof work as part of the remodel, see our Clinton roofing services.
