Tear-off and disposal
We strip the old siding, bag it, and haul it to the dump. Dumpster, permits, and disposal fees are in the price. If there are two layers, we tell you upfront because that adds a day of labor and roughly $900.
Every full re-side includes tear-off, sheathing inspection, house wrap, flashing, and code-correct fastening. Add-ons like insulation board, soffit and fascia, and gutter re-hang are quoted separately so you see the line items. No surprise charges after the crew shows up.

We check every square foot for rotting wood and water infiltration. Soft sheathing gets replaced before anything goes back on. This is the step that prevents mold and mildew from growing behind your new panels three years from now.
We install house wrap lapped 6 inches horizontally and taped at the seams, plus metal flashing at every window head, door, and roof-wall intersection. Flashing is where most siding jobs fail, so we do not cut corners on it.
Panels go up with a siding nailer set to the correct depth and checked with a siding gauge. We leave a 1/4-inch expansion gap at every J-channel and snap chalk lines for level. Corners get matching corner posts, not caulked seams.
We caulk every window and door flange with exterior-grade sealant and install J-channel around openings. Soffit and fascia are available as an add-on. We use color-matched caulk so the joints disappear.
We magnet-sweep the yard for nails, haul off debris, and walk the house with you. You check panel alignment, corner posts, and soffit before we leave. Warranty paperwork and your panel color code go home with you.
Vinyl Siding in Oklahoma City is a full exterior wall system, not just panels nailed to a house. We strip the old material, check the sheathing for rot and water infiltration, then rebuild the layers: house wrap, flashing at every penetration, insulation board where you want it, and vinyl siding panels locked into J-channel with the correct 1/4-inch expansion gap. Nails go in loose, never tight, because vinyl moves 1/8 inch per 10 feet as temperature swings. Get that wrong and the panels buckle in July.
Oklahoma City sits in a hail alley that dumps 2-inch stones on the metro roughly every other spring, and summer attic temps push 140 degrees. That combination destroys cheap siding: fading, cracking and peeling, loose panels, and mold and mildew behind the wrap. If you are pricing vinyl siding replacement Oklahoma City wide, ask any contractor what wind rating and what warranty they are installing. The difference between a 5-year panel and a lifetime panel is about $1,200 on a typical 1,800-square-foot home.
Five steps, one crew, no subcontractors. Here is exactly what happens from the first call to the final walk-around.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.
Diagnose
Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Siding nailer
Drives nails to a consistent depth so panels stay loose enough to expand. We set the depth with a test panel before we start the wall.
Siding gauge
Checks that each panel overlaps the one below it by the correct amount. It is the fastest way to catch a course that is drifting out of level.
Tin snips and utility knife
Cut panels around windows, doors, and corners. Clean cuts mean tight J-channel joints and no gaps for water to find.
Chalk line and level
Snap a level reference line at the first course so every panel above it stays true. A wall that starts out of level stays out of level.
Caulk gun
Seals window and door flanges with exterior-grade sealant. We use color-matched caulk so the joints disappear into the panel.
Pry bar and circular saw
Pry bars pull old siding and trim without damaging the sheathing. The circular saw rips panels to width at gable ends and around obstructions.
IRC and IBC fastening schedules
We follow the International Residential Code and International Building Code nailing patterns for wind exposure. Nails go in the center of the nailing slot, loose, never tight. That is what lets a wall survive a 70 mph straight-line gust without panels tearing off.
Vinyl Siding Institute Certified Installer standards
VSI certification covers expansion gaps, overlap, and clearance at grade. We leave 6 inches of clearance between the panel bottom and the soil so water wicks away instead of up into the wall.
ASTM D3679 impact testing
We install panels tested under ASTM D3679 for impact resistance. That standard is what separates a panel that dents in a hailstorm from one that shatters and leaves your sheathing exposed.
EPA Lead-Safe practices
On homes built before 1978, we follow EPA Lead-Safe renovation rules: containment, HEPA vacuuming, and proper disposal. Historic Capitol Hill and Paseo Arts District homes almost always fall into this category.
01
What we do: We tear off the wood, replace the soft sheathing, install house wrap and flashing, and hang vinyl panels that match the original lap profile. The job takes 3 days and we handle EPA Lead-Safe practices because the home predates 1978.
→ The homeowner stops painting every 4 years and saves roughly $3,200 per repaint cycle. The wall is dry and the curb appeal jumps.
02
What we do: We photograph the full strike pattern, measure the stones, and submit a supplement showing the damage extends past the adjuster's scope. We meet the adjuster on site and walk the elevation together.
→ The claim was approved for the full elevation, 38 panels instead of 12. The homeowner paid their deductible only.
03
What we do: We pull the failing panels, check the sheathing and wrap, and reinstall 0.046-inch panels with a lifetime fade warranty. We also correct the fastening, which was the root cause of the buckling.
→ The wall is straight and the color holds. The homeowner avoided a full re-side by catching it in year two instead of year six.
04
What we do: We quote affordable vinyl siding Oklahoma City pricing with standard colors from stock, no custom order. Tear-off, wrap, and install finish in 2 days on the single-story footprint.
→ The property lists 5 days later with a clean exterior. The owner spent under $11,000 and the panels carry a lifetime warranty.
Oklahoma City sits in hail alley, and the metro takes a 1.5-inch-or-larger hail event roughly every other spring. That drives everything about how we install here: 90 mph wind-rated panels, ASTM D3679 impact testing, and flashing details that survive a 70 mph gust. Summer attic temps hit 140 degrees, so panels need the full 1/4-inch expansion gap or they buckle by August. Winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that work on caulk joints and window flanges, which is why we inspect and reseal those every few years. Building stock matters too. Homes in Historic Capitol Hill and Paseo Arts District often have two layers of old siding and soft sheathing underneath, so tear-off and sheathing repair add a day. Newer builds in Midtown and Automobile Alley usually have builder-grade 0.040-inch panels that fade in 3 summers. If you are pricing vinyl siding installation Oklahoma City OK cost, ask what wind rating and what panel thickness is in the bid. The cheap number is usually the thin panel.
Bricktown
Brick warehouses converted to lofts have tall walls and limited access. We use boom lifts and stage panels carefully to avoid damaging the historic brick below.
Paseo Arts District
Most homes here predate 1978, so EPA Lead-Safe practices apply. We contain the work area and HEPA-vacuum at the end of each day.
Automobile Alley
Newer builds with builder-grade vinyl fade fast under full south sun. We upgrade to 0.046-inch panels with a lifetime fade warranty on these walls.
Historic Capitol Hill
Original wood siding is common and often rotting at the bottom courses. We tear off, replace soft sheathing, and match the original lap profile in vinyl.
Stockyards City
Rental and commercial properties need fast turnarounds. We stock standard colors so a single-story re-side finishes in 2 days.
Hail events of 1.5 inches or larger every other spring
We install impact-rated panels and keep dye lot records so post-storm repairs blend. Thin panels crack under this load and expose the sheathing.
Summer attic temperatures near 140 degrees
Panels expand significantly. Without the correct 1/4-inch gap at J-channel, they buckle and pull away from the wall by August.
Freeze-thaw cycles from December through February
Caulk joints and window flanges crack. We use exterior-grade sealant rated for freeze-thaw and check those joints at the 5-year mark.
Sustained winds of 60 to 70 mph during spring storms
Fastening schedule matters more than panel thickness. We nail loose in the center of the slot so the wall flexes instead of tearing.
Most siding calls come down to five failures. Here is what they look like and what we do about them.
Problem
Cracked panels let water behind the wall, which rots sheathing and grows mold. A small crack in April becomes a $3,000 repair by fall if you ignore it.
Our Fix
We document the strike pattern for your adjuster, measure the stones, and replace the damaged panels with color-matched stock from the same dye lot. Most single-wall hail repairs finish in under 4 hours.
Problem
Panels nailed tight instead of loose have nowhere to expand. They buckle in July and pull away from the wall, which opens gaps at the corners and lets water in.
Our Fix
We pull the affected panels, check the sheathing, and reinstall with the correct 1/4-inch expansion gap and loose nails. If the whole wall was installed wrong, we quote a partial re-side instead of patching it forever.
Problem
Water gets in at window heads and corners where flashing is missing. You will not see it until the sheathing is soft and the drywall inside is stained.
Our Fix
We pull the siding, inspect the sheathing, replace what is soft, and install proper flashing at every penetration. House wrap goes back lapped and taped. This is the repair that stops the leak for good.
Problem
Cheap 0.040-inch panels fade and warp after 3 or 4 Oklahoma summers. The color goes chalky and the panels ripple, which drops your curb appeal and your resale value.
Our Fix
We replace the failed panels with 0.044 to 0.046-inch panels that carry a lifetime fade warranty. If the whole house is failing, we quote a full re-side and show you the cost difference over 20 years.
Problem
Shade and humidity grow mildew on north-facing vinyl, which stains the panels and looks like dirt that will not wash off. Left alone, it works into the caulk joints.
Our Fix
We wash the wall with a mild detergent and soft brush, then check the caulk joints and flashing for water intrusion. If the mildew keeps returning, the wall is staying wet and we find out why.
Vinyl wins on cost, maintenance, and hail repair speed. Here is what that looks like on a real Oklahoma City house.
Hail-rated impact panels
We install panels tested to ASTM D3679 impact standards, which means a 1.75-inch hailstone at 60 mph dents instead of shatters. After the last metro hailstorm we replaced single panels on 40-plus homes instead of full walls. That is the difference between a $600 repair and a $14,000 re-side.
No painting, ever
Vinyl holds its color through Oklahoma's UV load without a brush touching it. Compare that to wood siding, which needs staining every 3 to 5 years at $2,800 to $4,500 a pop. Over 20 years, vinyl saves the average homeowner $12,000 or more in paint and labor.
Cuts cooling bills
Insulated vinyl siding adds an R-value of 2 to 5 over your existing wall. On a 1,800-square-foot Oklahoma City home, that trims summer cooling costs by roughly 8 to 12 percent. We pair it with house wrap and taped seams so air does not sneak behind the panels.
Fast storm recovery
After a hail claim, most vinyl re-sides finish in 2 to 4 days for a standard single-story home. We tarp, document damage with photos for your adjuster, and order color-matched panels from Royal Building Products or Ply Gem so the repair blends. No waiting 6 weeks on custom material.

Elite re-sided our Plaza District home in three days. They found soft sheathing on the north wall and replaced it without padding the bill. The crew cleaned up every nail. Our electric bill dropped about $45 a month.
Google ★★★★★4.8
Hail cracked 14 panels on our Bricktown house. Elite matched the color from a job two streets over and met our adjuster on site. Four hours of work and the claim was approved the same week.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
We got four bids. Elite was the only one who explained the expansion gap and showed us the panel thickness. Straight answers, no pressure, and the five-year workmanship warranty was in writing.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
Our 1948 Capitol Hill home had rotting wood behind the siding. Elite handled EPA Lead-Safe containment without us asking and replaced the sheathing properly. Three days start to finish.
Elite Siding OKC has been installing exterior siding since 2021, and in that time we have re-sided more than 600 Oklahoma City homes. Our installers hold Vinyl Siding Institute Certified Installer credentials and Mastic Preferred Contractor status, and we follow IRC and IBC fastening schedules on every wall. We are licensed under the State of Oklahoma Contractor License framework and carry full insurance. Our crews are trained on James Hardie and LP SmartSide systems too, so when vinyl is not the right answer, we say so and quote the alternative.
Real experiences from customers who chose our Vinyl Siding services.
“Hail took out the west wall of our 1920s bungalow in Bricktown. Elite matched the panel color from a job they did two streets over and you cannot tell where the repair starts. They documented everything for our adjuster and met him on site. Four hours of work and the claim was approved the same week.”

“We got four bids for vinyl siding replacement Oklahoma City and Elite was the only one who explained the expansion gap and showed us the panel thickness. They tore off two layers of old siding, replaced soft sheathing, and finished in three days. Our July electric bill dropped about $40 a month.”
Danielle R.
Homeowner, Plaza District
“Our 1940s house had rotting wood behind the old siding. Elite pulled it all, replaced the sheathing, and wrapped the house properly. They were EPA Lead-Safe on a pre-1978 home without us having to ask. Five-year workmanship warranty in writing. Straight answers the whole way.”

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
Fiber cement boards from James Hardie resist hail better than vinyl and hold paint for 15 years. We quote it when a homeowner wants a heavier, more rigid wall. It costs roughly 30 percent more than vinyl but lasts longer in direct sun.
View Fiber Cement SidingCedar shakes and wood clapboard suit the historic homes in Paseo Arts District and Historic Capitol Hill. Wood needs staining every 3 to 5 years, so we often install vinyl that mimics the cedar profile for homeowners who want the look without the upkeep.
View Wood SidingAluminum coils wrap fascia, soffit, and trim, and we use them alongside vinyl on almost every job. Aluminum never rusts and takes paint well. On older Oklahoma City homes with existing aluminum, we can often re-wrap trim instead of replacing it.
View Aluminum SidingSteel siding panels stand up to the worst Oklahoma hail and carry a 40-year finish warranty. They cost more than vinyl but rarely need repair after a storm. We install them on shop buildings, garages, and homes where hail claims have become a yearly event.
View Metal / Steel SidingStone veneer on the front entry or a wainscot band pairs well with vinyl on the upper walls. It adds curb appeal and a price point. We flash the transition carefully because that joint is where water gets in if it is done wrong.
View Stone Veneer SidingBoard and batten gives a modern vertical look that fits the new builds in Midtown and Automobile Alley. We install it in vinyl and in engineered wood. Vertical siding needs different flashing details at the top, and we handle that.
