At GR Exteriors, we understand that your home's exterior is not just about curb appeal—it's about protection, efficiency, and value. As Madison's trusted siding contractors, we provide comprehensive siding services tailored to withstand Wisconsin's unique climate challenges while enhancing your home's appearance and energy efficiency.
Why Quality Siding Matters in Madison
Madison's four distinct seasons create unique challenges for home exteriors. From summer humidity to winter's sub-zero temperatures and everything in between, your home's siding is its first line of defense. As experienced siding contractors serving the greater Madison area, we've seen how proper siding installation can make the difference between a home that struggles against the elements and one that stands strong year after year.
The lakes that define our city's landscape add another dimension to Madison homes—humidity and moisture that can compromise inferior siding materials over time. Our siding company specializes in selecting and installing materials specifically suited to perform in these conditions, protecting your investment for decades to come.

Common Questions About Siding Services
How long does siding typically last in Madison's climate?
Siding lifespan varies by material and maintenance, but in Madison's weather conditions, you can generally expect: vinyl siding to last 20-40 years, fiber cement to last 50+ years, engineered wood to last 20-30 years, and metal siding to last 40-70 years. Factors like proximity to Lake Mendota or Lake Monona may affect these timeframes due to increased moisture exposure.
What makes a siding company qualified to work in Madison?
Look for a siding contractor familiar with Madison's unique architectural styles and building codes, including historic district requirements. They should have experience with Wisconsin's specific weather challenges and offer materials proven to perform in our climate. Proper licensing, insurance, and knowledge of local permit requirements are essential, as are reviews from fellow Madison homeowners.
When is the best time for siding installation in Wisconsin?
While our siding contractors work year-round, the ideal window for major siding installation in Madison is typically May through October. This avoids the coldest months when certain materials become brittle and more difficult to work with. However, urgent siding repair can and should be addressed immediately regardless of season to prevent further damage to your home.
How should I prepare my Madison home for siding replacement?
Before your siding installation begins, remove fragile items from walls, trim back landscaping to allow at least 2 feet of working space, and secure arrangements for pets who might be stressed by construction noise. If you live near Lake Wingra or in other areas with parking restrictions, make sure to obtain any necessary parking permits for our work vehicles. Let neighbors know about the upcoming project, as Madison's neighborhoods often have homes in close proximity.
