A full fiber cement installation covers tear-off, wall prep, new boards, flashing, trim and caulk. We spell out exactly what is in the scope before you sign, so there are no surprise line items halfway through the job. Add-ons like insulation board or stone veneer accents are quoted separately.
We remove the existing vinyl, wood or aluminum siding, pull every nail, and haul it all to the dump. The sheathing gets inspected for rot, mold and water damage, and we photograph anything that needs repair before we cover it up. Disposal fees are included in the price.
Every wall gets new house wrap, taped seams, and metal flashing at window heads, door heads, corners and penetrations. This is the layer that keeps water out of your walls. We do not skip it, and we do not reuse old wrap that has been stapled through a hundred times.
We install James Hardie, LP SmartSide, CertainTeed or Nichiha boards in the profile and color you pick, plus matching trim at corners, windows and doors. Boards are fastened with a siding nailer using ring-shank nails at the manufacturer's specified depth and spacing.
Cut edges get primed before they go up, joints and corners get a paintable sealant, and the finish coat goes on after installation. Factory-finished boards get touch-up paint at every cut. We use caulk rated for Oklahoma's temperature swings so it does not crack in year two.
We magnet-sweep the yard for nails, haul off every scrap of material, and walk the house with you to show the flashing details and the caulk lines. You get the manufacturer warranty paperwork and our five-year workmanship warranty before we pull out of the driveway.
Fiber Cement Siding in Oklahoma City is a factory-made exterior cladding of Portland cement, sand, cellulose fiber and water, pressed into boards that look like painted cedar but behave like masonry. It goes up over house wrap and flashing, gets fastened with a siding nailer, and takes paint that holds for 10 to 15 years instead of the 4 to 6 you get from vinyl. Boards run 5/16 inch thick, carry a Class A fire rating, and stand up to 150 mph wind loads when the nailing pattern is right.
Oklahoma City sits in one of the most hail-active corridors in the country, and that is exactly why so many homeowners here are moving off vinyl. A single spring storm can punch holes through vinyl panels and leave fiber cement boards with nothing worse than a scuff. We also see a lot of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in Oklahoma County where the original wood siding has been rotting behind layers of paint for years. If you have been searching for fiber cement siding near me Oklahoma City and getting nothing but national lead-gen sites, we are the local crew that actually cuts and hangs the boards.
Every job runs on the same five-step sequence, whether it is a single wall repair or a full-house replacement. Here is what you can expect from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
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 ring-shank nails at the correct depth and spacing without over-driving the board. Over-driven nails crack fiber cement, so this tool matters more than any other on the truck.
Circular Saw with Diamond Blade
Cuts fiber cement boards cleanly without the dust cloud a standard blade throws. We use it for every rip cut and angle cut on the job.
Tin Snips
Cuts metal flashing, trim coil and J-channel to fit around windows, doors and corners. Every opening gets flashed, and snips give us a clean edge.
Chalk Line and Level
Sets the starter strip dead level so the boards run true across the whole wall. A wall that starts a quarter-inch out of level is visibly crooked by the roofline.
Caulk Gun
Applies paintable sealant at joints, corners and trim. We use a gun with a smooth trigger so the bead is consistent and does not need to be tooled twice.
Pry Bar and Siding Gauge
Pulls old siding and nails without damaging the sheathing, and sets the reveal on each course so the lap width stays consistent from bottom to top.
Manufacturer Nailing Schedule
James Hardie and LP SmartSide both publish a nailing schedule that specifies nail type, spacing and depth for each profile. We follow it exactly, because that is what the warranty is conditioned on. Nails go in the nail line, not the face, and they stay flush, not countersunk.
Two-Layer Weather Barrier
We install house wrap over the sheathing and tape every seam, then flash each opening with metal. This two-layer approach is what keeps Oklahoma City's wind-driven rain out of the wall cavity. It is also what most cheap installs skip.
Cut-Edge Priming
Every cut edge on a fiber cement board gets primed before it goes up. Unprimed edges wick moisture and are the first place paint peels. It adds a step and a day to the job, and it is worth it.
EPA Lead-Safe Practices
On homes built before 1978, which covers a lot of the stock in Midtown and Historic Capitol Hill, we follow EPA Lead-Safe renovation rules: containment, HEPA vacuuming and proper disposal. It is the law and it protects your family.
01
What we do: We tear off the wood, inspect and replace any soft sheathing, wrap the walls, and install fiber cement lap siding in a color that fits the neighborhood. We handle the EPA Lead-Safe requirements because the home predates 1978.
→ The house looks new, the walls are dry, and the siding will not need paint again for a decade. Most jobs like this take four to five days.
02
What we do: We photograph every elevation, mark the impact points, and meet the adjuster on site to show the full scope of damage. Once the claim is settled, we install fiber cement on the affected walls and match the existing profile where we can.
→ The homeowner gets a hail-resistant wall on the storm-facing elevations and a documented claim file. The upgrade usually costs a few thousand out of pocket on top of the insurance payout.
03
What we do: We remove the warped vinyl, check the house wrap and flashing, and install fiber cement boards in a modern lap profile. We coordinate with the builder's schedule so the re-side happens before landscaping goes in.
→ The house gets the exterior it should have had from day one, and the owner avoids a second replacement in ten years. Typical timeline is three to four days.
04
What we do: We install factory-finished fiber cement boards that come pre-painted, so there is no field painting and no repaint for 10 to 15 years. We use the same flashing and house wrap detail as on a full custom job.
→ The owner stops paying for repaints every few years, and the property holds its curb appeal between tenants. Most rentals are done in two to three days.
Oklahoma City sits in the heart of hail alley, and that shapes every fiber cement job we run. Spring storms drop 1-inch to 2-inch hail on the metro, summer heat pushes attic temperatures past 140 degrees, and winter swings from 70 degrees to 15 degrees in a single week. Fiber cement handles all of it better than vinyl, but only if the flashing and house wrap are right. We install to the current IBC and IRC residential code adopted by the city, and we pull permits on full re-sides so the inspection is on record. Older neighborhoods like Midtown and the Paseo Arts District have homes built before 1978, so we run EPA Lead-Safe practices on those tear-offs. Newer builds in Uptown 23rd and Automobile Alley are usually straight re-sides with no sheathing repair. If you are comparing fiber cement siding installation Oklahoma City OK cost against vinyl, remember that the fiber cement number includes a wall that will not need hail repair every other spring.
Bricktown
Mix of new construction and converted warehouses where fiber cement boards are used to match the historic brick on the front elevation.
Midtown
Many pre-1978 homes with original wood siding, so EPA Lead-Safe practices and sheathing repair are standard on these jobs.
Paseo Arts District
Historic district with color restrictions, so we match fiber cement boards to the approved palette before ordering material.
Uptown 23rd
Newer builds and re-sides where the existing house wrap is usually still good and the job moves fast.
Historic Capitol Hill
Older ranch homes with soft sheathing behind the siding, so we budget for sheathing replacement on most jobs.
Spring hail events across Oklahoma County
Hail is the top cause of siding damage in the metro, and it is why so many homeowners here choose fiber cement over vinyl. We document every impact point for insurance claims.
Summer heat and UV exposure
Walls facing west and south take the worst of the sun, which fades vinyl and dries out cheap caulk. We use UV-rated caulk and recommend lighter colors on those elevations.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles
Water that gets behind a bad flashing detail freezes and expands, prying boards loose. Proper flashing and a 1/8-inch gap at trim prevent it.
Expansive clay soils
Ground movement cracks brick and stucco around Oklahoma City, which is one reason fiber cement, which flexes slightly, is a popular replacement.
Most of the calls we get are about the same handful of problems: hail damage, water getting behind the wall, and siding that has simply aged out. Here is what we see most and how we fix it.
Problem
Cracked panels let water straight into the wall cavity, which leads to mold, rotted sheathing and interior ceiling stains within a season or two.
Our Fix
We document the damage for your insurance claim, replace the damaged panels, and where the whole wall is compromised, upgrade to fiber cement boards that take hail without cracking. Most hail repairs are scheduled within a week of the call.
Problem
Water gets behind the siding at a failed window flashing or a corner joint, and you find out months later when the drywall is stained and soft.
Our Fix
We pull the siding back at the suspect opening, install new metal flashing and house wrap, and re-hang the boards with a proper 1/8-inch gap. We photograph the repair so you can see exactly what was fixed.
Problem
Soft boards hold moisture against the sheathing, and the rot spreads until the wall framing itself is compromised. Paint will not fix it.
Our Fix
We tear off the rotted wood, replace any soft sheathing, wrap the wall, and install fiber cement boards that will never rot. On pre-1978 homes we follow EPA Lead-Safe practices during the tear-off.
Problem
Vinyl chalks and fades in the Oklahoma sun, and paint does not adhere well to it. You end up repainting every few years with poor results.
Our Fix
We replace the faded vinyl with fiber cement boards that hold paint 10 to 15 years. If you want to keep the vinyl for now, we can clean and prep it properly, but we will tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense.
Fiber cement costs more up front than vinyl and pays it back in hail resistance, paint life and resale value. Here is what you actually get when you put it on your house.
Hail and Wind Resistant
Fiber cement boards shrug off the 1-inch to 2-inch hail that shreds vinyl panels every spring in Oklahoma City. Boards are rated for 150 mph wind-driven rain when installed with the correct nailing schedule and ring-shank nails. After the last big hail event, we replaced vinyl on hundreds of homes; the fiber cement houses on the same street needed paint touch-ups, not full replacement.
Paint Lasts 10 to 15 Years
Fiber cement holds a factory finish or a quality field-applied paint far longer than vinyl, which fades and chalks in the Oklahoma sun. We prime cut edges and caulk joints with a paintable sealant so moisture never wicks behind the board. Most customers repaint once a decade instead of every four or five years, which saves thousands over the life of the siding.
Real Estate Value
Appraisers in Oklahoma County consistently rank fiber cement above vinyl in exterior condition reports. A full fiber cement siding replacement Oklahoma City project on a 1,800-square-foot home typically adds $12,000 to $18,000 in appraised value, and it makes the house stand out in Midtown and Paseo Arts District where buyers are comparing ten similar listings. It is the one exterior upgrade that shows up in the comps.
Fire and Pest Resistant
Fiber cement will not burn, rot, warp or feed termites the way wood and engineered wood can. That matters in older Oklahoma City neighborhoods where wood siding has been slowly rotting behind shrubs for decades. Boards carry a Class A fire rating, which can also help with insurance premiums on homes near wildland edges. No swelling, no delamination, no carpenter ants.

Elite Siding OKC replaced our hail-damaged vinyl with James Hardie fiber cement in Uptown 23rd. They documented everything for the insurance claim, met the adjuster on site, and finished in five days. The house looks better than new and we have not had a single crack since.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
We had three bids for fiber cement siding replacement Oklahoma City and Elite was the only one that explained the flashing detail at the windows. They showed up at 7 a.m. every day, cleaned up after themselves, and the final price matched the estimate exactly.
BBB A+
They installed fiber cement on our 1948 Midtown bungalow and handled the lead-safe requirements without us having to ask. The crew was respectful, the work was clean, and they walked us through the warranty paperwork at the end. Highly recommend.
Google ★★★★★5.0
Called about a cracked panel after a hailstorm and they came out the next day. Turned out the whole west wall needed replacing, and they gave us a fair price on fiber cement instead of patching vinyl again. Two hail seasons later, not a mark on it.

Real experiences from customers who chose our Fiber Cement Siding services.
“We had vinyl on the west wall that cracked after every hailstorm. Elite Siding OKC tore it off, found soft sheathing we did not know about, and hung James Hardie lap siding in three days. That wall has been through two hail seasons since and all it needed was a paint touch-up. The crew swept the yard for nails twice before they left.”

“Our 1948 house had wood siding that was rotting behind the paint. They pulled it all off, replaced the bad sheathing, wrapped the walls and installed fiber cement in a color that matches the historic district. The estimate was firm, the crew showed up at 7 a.m. every day, and the final walkthrough took twenty minutes. Worth every dollar.”
Danielle R.
Homeowner, Paseo Arts District
“I got three bids for fiber cement siding replacement Oklahoma City and Elite was the only one that explained the flashing detail at the windows. They installed LP SmartSide on the whole house, caulked every joint, and met my insurance adjuster after the hail claim. The house appraised $16,000 higher than the neighbor's identical floor plan.”

Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
Vinyl is the budget option we install most often on rental properties and quick flips around Oklahoma City. It goes up fast and costs less than fiber cement, but it will not survive the hail that fiber cement shrugs off. We will tell you straight which one fits your house and your timeline.
View Vinyl SidingWood siding gives a warmth fiber cement can only imitate, and we install cedar and pine on homes in the Paseo Arts District and Heritage Hills. The trade-off is maintenance: wood needs paint or stain every three to five years. Many customers use fiber cement on the sun-baked elevations and real wood on the shaded front.
View Wood SidingAluminum siding is common on Oklahoma City homes built between 1950 and 1975, and we remove and replace it regularly. It dents in hail and holds heat, but it never rots. When we tear off aluminum, we always inspect the sheathing underneath, because that is where we find the water damage.
View Aluminum SidingStanding-seam steel siding is the other hail-proof option we install in Oklahoma County. It costs more than fiber cement and has a different look, but it will never need paint. We walk you through both so you can compare profiles, colors and long-term cost side by side.
View Metal / Steel SidingStone veneer on the lower front elevation with fiber cement above is a combination we install often in Uptown 23rd and Automobile Alley. The stone adds weight and curb appeal at the entry; the fiber cement keeps the rest of the wall light and easy to maintain. We flash the transition so water never sits behind the stone.
View Stone Veneer SidingBoard and batten is the vertical profile we install most on modern farmhouse builds around Oklahoma City. Fiber cement board and batten gives you the same look with better hail resistance than wood. We cut the battens on a circular saw with a diamond blade and caulk every seam.
