Calling
About calling
Who answers when I call?
An independent siding contractor that serves your area, or a referral service that connects you with one. This site employs no installers. The contractor sets its own price and stands behind its own work.
Do I have to hire the contractor I speak with?
No. Ask questions, have the walls looked at and take your time. Getting more than one written price on a bigger job is normal.
How do I check a siding contractor in South Carolina?
Siding installers are residential specialty contractors that register with the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission once a job is above a small amount set in the law (S.C. Code § 40-59-20). Look a contractor up with the LLR licensee lookup.
Can I call about a repair rather than new siding?
Yes. Cracked or loose panels, storm damage and rot behind the siding are all reasons to call, as are full replacements and siding for new work. See siding repair or repair or replace?
Can you help with an insurance claim?
No. This site doesn't help with insurance claims or refer claim work. Contact your insurer directly about any claim.

Which siding lasts longest here?
It depends more on installation than on the product. Every material needs a sound barrier, flashing and proper fastening. The weather guide compares the materials.
Does new siding need a permit in Greer?
Inside the city limits, yes. The permits guide explains who issues it inside and outside the limits.
Can storm-damaged siding be repaired?
Usually, if the color and profile can be matched. See storm and wind damage.

The scope, products, price, payment schedule, dates, permit responsibility and warranty terms. See SC contractor rules.
