Siding and Roofing
Charlotte NC

Bundling siding and roofing in Charlotte typically saves 20-35% versus separate scopes through 6 efficiency gains: (1) one set of permits and CDOT/HOA submissions instead of two; (2) one scaffold and tarp setup; (3) integrated J-channel and drip-edge install — siding-to-roof transitions sealed correctly only when done together; (4) one Xactimate insurance estimate covers both for a single deductible after storms; (5) consolidated material delivery and dumpster rental; (6) one warranty packet covering both. Typical Charlotte 2,500 sq ft home: separate roof + siding $35,000-$60,000; bundled $28,000-$48,000.

We install the full range alongside roofing: vinyl siding ($5-$8/sq ft, 30-40 yr lifespan, low-maintenance, most popular new install); James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement ($8-$13/sq ft, 50+ yr warranty, fire-resistant, holds paint 10-15 yr — Best Roofing Now is a Hardie Preferred Contractor with manufacturer-trained installers); LP SmartSide engineered wood ($7-$11/sq ft, 50 yr limited, real wood look); cedar shake siding ($9-$15/sq ft, heritage homes); and metal siding ($11-$18/sq ft, modern low-maintenance).

Bundle when: both surfaces are within 5 years of similar age/condition; you have storm damage to both; you want exterior color refresh; or financing makes the combined project more affordable. Do separately when: only one surface needs work and the other is under 10 years old; budget constraints force phasing; insurance only covers one surface (rare — most storms damage both); or HOA approval timing differs significantly between materials.

Typical Charlotte 2,500 sq ft home with vinyl siding + architectural shingles: 4-7 days total when bundled (vs 7-10 days when done separately). James Hardie fiber cement adds 2-3 days vs vinyl due to heavier material and more complex install. Cedar shake siding can add 5-7 days. We typically run two specialized crews simultaneously — roofing crew on top, siding crew on the walls — to compress total timeline.

Yes. Combined storm damage to roof and siding is one of the most common Charlotte insurance scenarios — wind and hail almost always damage the wind-facing slope plus adjacent siding panels together. We file ONE Xactimate-format insurance claim covering both surfaces, work with your single deductible (saves $1,500-$3,000 vs two separate claims), meet the adjuster on-site for one combined inspection, and submit supplements for missed damage. Carriers handled: State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Nationwide, Erie, Farm Bureau.

We work with PowerPay financing for residential exterior projects: 0% APR for 12-24 months on qualified credit (no-interest if paid in full within term), or extended 60-120 month terms with competitive APR. Typical combined siding + roof $28,000-$48,000 project: $300-$650/month on 84-month term. Plus we accept all major credit cards, ACH bank transfer, and check. No deposit required for projects under $30,000 — payment due upon completion.

Yes — and this is where bundled projects shine. We bring physical samples of both shingle AND siding colors to the consultation, allowing you to see proposed combinations together (not just imagine them). For HOA-restricted communities (Ballantyne, Providence, Quail Hollow, Foxcroft, Carmel Country Club, etc.), we manage one combined ARB packet with both color samples, manufacturer specs, and installer credentials — single review cycle, single approval. 99%+ first-pass approval rate.

Most cost-effective bundle add-ons during a siding/roof project: (1) gutter and downspout replacement (additional 10-15% savings vs standalone); (2) fascia and soffit work (often needs done anyway when siding comes off — 30-40% savings vs separate); (3) exterior painting (only if vinyl/wood siding); (4) chimney flashing and chase wrap; (5) window flashing and trim. Adding any 2 of these typically brings total project savings to 25-40% vs sequential scopes.
