Siding Replacement in Martinsburg, WV
James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and vinyl siding replacement by Jade Roofing & Construction, based on East Burke Street in Martinsburg. We reside homes across Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, Hagerstown and Frederick in Maryland, and Franklin County, PA.
Siding That Holds Up to Panhandle Weather
Siding is the skin that keeps water out of your walls, and in our climate it takes a beating: humid summers, wind-driven rain off the ridges, and winters that freeze whatever got behind a loose board. When old vinyl goes brittle, wood siding starts to peel every spring, or you find soft spots around windows, it is time. We replace siding on everything from the brick-and-clapboard homes downtown to the 1990s vinyl colonials in Spring Mills and Urbana.
What you cannot see matters most. Under every siding job we do is a proper water-resistive barrier, flashed windows and doors, kick-out flashing where roofs meet walls, and sealed penetrations. That is what stops the rot that sent you looking for a siding contractor in the first place. We install James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and Alside vinyl, and we will tell you plainly which one fits your house and budget.
James Hardie fiber cement is the premium pick: non-combustible, holds paint for 15 years, and does not swell or feed termites. LP SmartSide gives a real wood look in an engineered board that resists rot and hail. Alside vinyl is the value option and has come a long way in thickness and color. We bring samples to your house.
Installed to the Manufacturer’s Book
Hardie and SmartSide both publish exact installation specs, and warranties depend on following them: clearances above roofs and grade, gapping and flashing at butt joints, corrosion-resistant nails at the right depth. We follow the book because it is the difference between siding that lasts 30 years and siding that starts cupping in five. Trim, soffit, fascia, and gutters get replaced or wrapped at the same time so the house is finished, not just re-skinned.
We protect landscaping, run a clean site, and walk the finished exterior with you before we call it done. Jade Roofing & Construction is a licensed Maryland Home Improvement contractor (MHIC #167279), BBB Accredited, and rated 5.0 across 44 Google reviews. Siding jobs start with a free inspection and a written estimate. Many homeowners pair siding with a roof replacement or new windows so the whole exterior is done by one crew.
Siding pairs naturally with a full exterior update. Explore our roofing services and window replacement, or see every community we cover on our service areas page.
How a Jade Siding Job Runs
Three steps, one crew, no surprises. Here is how it goes.
Inspection and Samples
We inspect the existing siding and the sheathing behind trouble spots, then bring Hardie, SmartSide, and vinyl samples so you can pick a product and color on your own house.
Tear-Off, Wrap, and Install
Old siding comes off, damaged sheathing is replaced, the house is wrapped and flashed, and the new siding goes on to the manufacturer’s spec with matching trim and soffit.
Walkthrough and Cleanup
We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away the old siding, and walk the exterior with you. Warranty paperwork is registered before we leave.

Common questions about siding replacement
What kind of siding is best for West Virginia and Maryland weather?
James Hardie fiber cement handles humidity, freeze-thaw, and wind best and is what we recommend when the budget allows. LP SmartSide is close behind with a warmer wood look. Quality vinyl works well when installed with the right water barrier. All three are products we install regularly in Berkeley, Washington, and Frederick Counties.
How do I know my siding needs replacing rather than repairing?
Look for cracked or brittle vinyl, peeling paint that comes back every year, boards that are soft or warped, gaps at seams and corners, and rising energy bills. If problems are isolated to one wall, a repair may do. If they are everywhere, replacement is the better investment. We tell you which at the free inspection.
How long does a siding replacement take?
Most single-family homes take three to seven working days depending on size, product, and how much sheathing needs replacing. We confirm the timeline in your written estimate.
Do you replace trim, soffit, fascia, and gutters with the siding?
Yes. A siding job usually includes new or wrapped trim, soffit, and fascia so the finished house looks complete, and we can replace gutters at the same time. Everything is itemized on the estimate.
Can you match new siding to my existing roof or windows?
Yes. We help you choose siding and trim colors that work with your roof, and if you are doing windows at the same time we coordinate the exterior colors and trim details so it all reads as one job.
