Panel Siding

What is panel siding?

Panel siding comes in large sheets instead of individual boards. Vertical panels have grooves or wood texture for a traditional look. Modern panels are smooth, with crisp reveal lines between sheets for a contemporary look.

Panels are great for modern homes, accent walls, bump-outs and mixed-material designs next to lap siding or stone.

Add battens over the panel seams and you get board and batten. See the Board & Batten page for that look.

Duplex front doors with ornamental wreath decorations. Two front doors with dark and light gray tones and side windows of a residential building with white board sidings and concrete doorsteps.

The experience with Perfect Siding from the first call to the finish of the siding project has been great. From the sales team meeting at the property to the start up they have been truly professional. They kept in touch with me and did what they promised and more. The job was correctly done. No left over material, clean. The house turned out great. I would like to thank everyone that I dealt with especially the 2 installers. Great job.

We had an excellent experience with Perfect Siding. The crew completed the job quickly without compromising on quality. Braeden was a standout, extremely responsive and professional. What impressed us most was his attention to detail; he identified and corrected a few minor issues on his own before we even noticed them. It’s rare to find that level of proactive service. Highly recommend.

Although we went a different route, Austin proved to be a breath of fresh air. No hard selling, just polite, knowledgeable and definitely had our best interests in mind. Would recommend Perfect Siding with 5 stars all day long to anybody wishing to upgrade their siding!

Kevin and the crew never disappoint. They go above and beyond every time I have needed their services. They stand behind their work. They provide a quality service and product. Their office staff are friendly and answer the phones on your first call. I would not ever consider using another company due to the outstanding customer care and TLC they give every customer.

I couldn't have found a better company for this project. Braeden was incredibly helpful with scheduling and worked closely with me to find a price that fit my budget. As you can see in the attached before-and-after photos, they replaced and painted all of my damaged siding, addressing everything from peeling to significant water damage. They assessed the site quickly and had the work scheduled just a week later. The service, quality, and pricing were all top-notch. I 100% recommend this team!

Great customer service. I have a painting company and have been in the industry a long time and the work they did made my job how it should always be because of their prep work with their caulking and filling nail heads and the communication through the whole process. Siding was straight and sturdy. Top of the line for the right price to the customer. Grab these guys for your next remodel. They care about the customer for sure and the quality.
