Siding installation and repair in Metairie with a moisture-first approach

Siding with Oliver Nola

Siding is your home's raincoat, and in South Louisiana it gets worn every day. Humidity, wind-driven rain and strong sun break down weak materials quickly, and once water gets behind the cladding it can quietly rot sheathing and framing. Oliver Nola installs and repairs siding in Metairie and nearby communities with as much focus on what happens behind the surface as on how it looks.

We work with fiber cement, vinyl and engineered wood siding, along with trim, soffit and fascia. Fiber cement is a popular choice in the area for its resistance to moisture and insects and its ability to hold paint. Vinyl offers low maintenance at a lower price point. We help you compare appearance, durability and budget for your specific house.

Good siding work begins with the wall. When we remove old cladding, we inspect the sheathing, repair soft or damaged areas and install a weather-resistive barrier lapped so water drains down and out. Windows and doors get flashing that ties into that barrier, which is where most wall leaks begin.

Finishing details matter for both durability and appearance. Proper clearance from the ground and from roof surfaces, sealed penetrations for lights and vents, and trim installed square and tight all add up to a house that looks crisp and stays dry.

Whether you are updating a classic home in Metairie, refreshing a rental in Gretna or matching new siding on an addition in Kenner, we plan the work around your schedule and protect landscaping and windows as we go.

Exterior work also gives us a clear look at the rest of the envelope. While walls are open, we can point out gutters that overflow, soffits that block attic ventilation or windows that are nearing the end of their life, so you can decide whether to address them while the crew and scaffolding are already in place. Handling those items together is usually less expensive than returning for them later.
