Designing the Look Before Choosing the Product
We start by talking about how you want the house to look:
- Profile: traditional lap, Dutch lap, board and batten or shake accents
- Color: body, trim and accent colors that work with your roof and brick
- Trim: wider corner boards and window casing can add depth
- Combinations: siding on gables with brick below, or two colors on different stories
Then we match the look to a material: vinyl, fiber cement or engineered wood. Seeing samples against your roof in daylight helps a lot.
Do Your Gutters Need Repair or Replacement?
Repairs make sense for a loose hanger, a leaking end cap or a single downspout. Replacement is the better call when you see:
- Leaks at multiple seams in sectional gutters
- Sagging runs or gutters pulling away from rotted fascia
- Rust, cracks or splits along the trough
- Gutters too small to handle heavy rain
Combining new seamless gutters with siding lets us fix fascia and flashing at the same time. Our post on when to replace gutters goes into more detail.
How Long the Project Takes
For an average-sized Verona home, most siding and gutter replacement projects are completed in about 1 to 3 weeks. Size, material and hidden repairs affect the schedule, and gutters usually go on last.
Choosing a Reliable Exterior Contractor
- Is the contractor licensed and insured in Mississippi? We are.
- Will they give a written, itemized estimate?
- Who does the work, and who is your point of contact?
- How do they handle rot found after tear-off?
- Are workmanship and manufacturer warranties explained in writing?

Common Questions
What's the best siding material for Verona's climate?
Fiber cement offers the best durability against humidity, rot and insects. Premium vinyl is a strong low-maintenance alternative at a lower price.
How do I know if my gutters need replacing or just repair?
Isolated leaks or a loose hanger can be repaired. Multiple leaking seams, sagging, rust or gutters too small for your roof usually mean replacement.
Can you help me design a new look for my exterior?
Yes. We help with siding profiles, colors and trim details and bring samples so you can see how they look with your roof and brick.
What should I look for in an exterior contractor?
Look for a licensed and insured contractor who gives written, itemized estimates, explains warranties in writing and tells you how they handle hidden damage.
