When your exterior starts failing, the clock is already ticking. Forge Siding provides full Siding in McMechen, WV — from initial assessment to final cleanup — so your home is protected and your curb appeal restored.
We didn't start Forge Siding to push volume — we built it because homeowners in McMechen kept getting burned by crews who cut corners on material selection, skipped moisture barriers, and left job sites messy. That's not how we work. Every Siding project starts with an honest assessment: we look at your substrate condition, check for existing rot or moisture intrusion, and talk through your options before a single nail goes in.
Every estimate is itemized and written down before we ever ask for a signature. You'll see material costs, labor, disposal, and any underlying repair work broken out separately — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. We've completed thousands of Siding projects across McMechen, WV and our callback rate is under two percent. That number matters to us.
Most homeowners don't notice siding problems until water damage has already reached the sheathing. These are the signals worth acting on before the repair scope doubles.
Hairline cracks look cosmetic but they're water channels. Once moisture gets behind the panel and hits the housewrap — or finds no housewrap at all — sheathing rot starts within one season.
Buckling almost always means the substrate underneath has moved — often because moisture got behind the panel weeks or months ago. The panel is showing you the symptom, not the cause.
Interior peeling close to an outside wall isn't a paint problem — it's a moisture infiltration problem. Your siding is the likely culprit and ignoring it turns a siding job into a drywall and mold job.
A missing panel after a wind event or impact isn't just cosmetic damage. That exposed sheathing is collecting rain until you replace it. This is one repair that can't wait for a convenient schedule.
Old or failing siding, particularly if the housewrap underneath has deteriorated, acts like a thermal short-circuit. Your HVAC runs harder to compensate, and the bills reflect it before the siding looks obviously bad.
Heavy algae or mold staining on the exterior surface isn't just cosmetic — it means the surface is retaining moisture long enough for organic growth. That moisture is also working its way into the wall system.
Every job below starts with a free written estimate. We specify the product, the profile, the color, and the installation method upfront — so there's no ambiguity when work begins.
Fiber cement comes in lap, panel, and shingle profiles, and we've installed all three on everything from Cape Cods in historic neighborhoods to large multi-unit builds. Correct installation matters enormously with this material — improper fastening or insufficient clearances void the warranty and cause edge-swell failures. Our lead installers are trained to the spec sheet, not just to what looks right on the jobsite.
Done right, vinyl siding is durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective. Done wrong — wrong gauge, wrong fastener pattern, no expansion clearance — it warps in the heat and pulls loose in wind. We use .044" and .046" gauge panels minimum and follow thermal expansion specs precisely for WV's temperature range. Nail hem fastening at 16" centers, 1/32" expansion gap at all trim terminations, and a fully integrated vinyl accessory system so the corners, J-channel, and window trim all work together.
LP SmartSide and similar engineered wood products split the difference between the look of real wood and the dimensional stability of manufactured products. They're primed at the factory, accept field-applied paint well, and hold up to impact and moisture better than OSB or solid wood. We use LP SmartSide Trim & Fascia alongside the panel and lap systems so the trim package matches — no mixing incompatible products that age differently.
Not every siding problem needs a full re-side. Storm impact, vandalism, or isolated rot can often be addressed with a targeted repair that blends into the existing field. We stock common profiles and can often source discontinued patterns through our supplier network for historic or older homes where matching matters. Partial replacement work is priced honestly — if we see a repair scope that's going to creep, we say so before we start, not after.
Commercial and multi-unit projects have different demands — larger panel formats, longer exposure to foot traffic and equipment contact, stricter fire ratings in some occupancy classes, and coordinated scheduling with other trades. Forge Siding handles commercial cladding projects in McMechen, WV with full project management: dedicated site supervisor, daily progress reporting, and material delivery coordinated to minimize storage and laydown area on constrained sites.
Soffit ventilation is often compromised during re-siding work when installers don't maintain existing vent openings or fail to add ventilation where it was previously missing. We verify soffit net-free vent area against attic square footage before closing up the overhang — because your roofing contractor will find the problem later if we don't.
Four steps. Each one documented. No surprises at the invoice.
A thorough inspection before we quote means the estimate we hand you is accurate. We check the substrate, the existing housewrap or vapor barrier, window and door flashing, corner and soffit condition — all of it — so there are no hidden surprises once demo starts.
You receive a line-by-line written estimate: material cost by product and quantity, labor, removal and disposal of existing siding, and any sheathing repair identified in the assessment. We walk through material options with physical samples, not just catalog photos. You sign off on the spec before we order anything.
Your start date is locked at signing. Crew arrives on time, materials are staged and ready, and the site is protected before demo begins. We run a tight job — no leaving panels exposed overnight when rain is in the forecast.
At project completion, we walk the entire exterior with you. Every run of siding, every corner, every trim termination — you look at it before we close out. If anything isn't right, it gets fixed on the spot. Our goal is that you refer us to your neighbor the week after the project wraps.
We don't sub out work to unlicensed handymen to cut costs. Every installer on a Forge Siding project is a W-2 employee or licensed sub with verified credentials and completed manufacturer training.
You see the number before you sign — and the invoice matches the estimate. If scope changes come up during demo, we stop work, show you what we found, and get written approval before proceeding. No invoice surprises.
When we book your project, we commit to a start date. No bumping you for a bigger job, no weeks of silence after signing. We operate with enough crew capacity to honor the schedule we gave you.
Old siding demo generates a lot of debris — old panels, nails, housewrap, fasteners. We haul it out daily. Your driveway, lawn, and landscaping are clean at the end of every work day — not just at project completion.
Every Siding project we complete is backed by our written workmanship warranty. If anything we installed fails due to installation error — a panel pulls loose, a trim joint opens, moisture gets in at a transition we sealed — we come back at no charge and fix it. Not a credit, not a partial. Fixed.

We were replacing deteriorated T1-11 on a house we'd bought the year before. Forge Siding walked us through why HardiePlank made more sense than vinyl for our wall orientation and explained the flashing work that needed to happen around the windows before panels went on. Project started on the date they said. Crew cleaned up every afternoon. The job came in within a couple hundred dollars of the estimate.
A storm took out a whole section of vinyl on the east side of our house. I called four contractors — three of them said they'd have to replace the entire elevation because they couldn't match the profile. Forge Siding's estimator sourced a matching panel through their supplier network and did a clean repair. You can't tell where the new material starts. Saved us probably $4,000 compared to a full-side re-do.
The fascia and soffit on our older home were rotting away and we assumed it would be a nightmare project. Forge Siding quoted it alongside the siding replacement so everything was done in one mobilization. The crew found two spots where the rafter tails had started to soften — they showed me photos before touching anything and walked me through the repair options. The whole exterior looks like a different house now.
I had a specific architectural profile I wanted for the gable ends — a shingle exposure pattern — and everyone else told me it was a custom order with a six-week wait. Forge Siding had it in stock through their regional supplier and we started within two weeks of signing. The detail work at the gable peaks is clean and exact. Not every contractor has the skill to do that level of trim work.
Five-star work across the board. The crew showed up when scheduled, worked efficiently, and the lead walked me around the house at the end of each day so I could see progress and raise any questions before the next morning. The final product is outstanding — tight lap lines, perfect miters at the corners, no nail pops. My neighbor has already asked for Forge Siding's contact information.
I needed a quick turnaround on a rental property before a new tenant moved in. Forge Siding fit us in on short notice, did a clean vinyl replacement on two elevations, and the inspection cleared without a single callback item. Responsive, professional, priced fairly. That's all I ask for and they delivered all three.
