Siding replacement in Mount Pleasant, SC
Fiber cement, engineered wood, and specialty cladding installed as a drainable wall assembly — weather barrier, taped seams, and flashed transitions — not just boards on a wall. What you can't see afterward is the part that keeps the wall dry.
Working in Mount Pleasant
What this house, on this street, actually needs.
Mount Pleasant runs from Old Village cottages a few hundred feet off the harbor to twenty-year-old subdivisions in Park West and Carolina Park where the original builder-grade envelope is now reaching the end of its service life. Most of what we're called for here is first-replacement work — the original roof, windows, or siding finally giving up at the same time.
Twenty-year-old builder cladding in Park West and Carolina Park usually fails first at window heads and band boards. Old Village homes closer to the harbor fail at the wind-facing elevation. We scope by elevation rather than pricing the whole house at one number.
HOA rules here usually govern work hours, dumpster placement, and material staging. We get those in writing before day one so the schedule we give you is the schedule you get.

Mount Pleasant FAQs
Straight answers before you commit.
Do you need a permit for siding work in Mount Pleasant?
Mount Pleasant issues its own building permits through the town, and most planned communities add an architectural review committee on top of that. We handle both — the town submittal and the ARC package with product, color, and profile documentation. We pull the permits in our name and provide inspection records with your closeout documents.
What makes siding in Mount Pleasant different from inland work?
Wind-driven rain, not rainfall, is what gets into Lowcountry walls. Every window head, band board, and penetration gets flashed and lapped so water that gets past the cladding is directed back out instead of into your framing.
Which Mount Pleasant areas do you serve?
We work throughout Mount Pleasant, including Old Village, I'On, Park West, Carolina Park, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Our office is at 668 Marina Dr Unit B7 in Charleston.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, pull permits under our own license, and provide certificates on request before work begins.
How long does a siding replacement take?
Two to four weeks for a typical home, depending on size, substrate repairs, and whether we're finishing on site. We work elevation by elevation so the house is never fully open to the weather.
Will you find rot behind the old siding?
Often, yes — it's the most common hidden condition here. We open a wall, show you the actual condition, price the repair, and only then continue. Rot allowances are stated in the proposal so nothing is a surprise.
