Forge Siding delivers professional Siding across Lebanon, CT with locally based crews who understand Lebanon's specific climate conditions, permit requirements, and building codes. Not a franchise call center routing jobs to whoever's free — a licensed contractor with written credentials and a documented track record.

What makes our Lebanon operation different isn't a slogan. It's the fact that every estimate we write is line-item detailed, every project has a named lead installer accountable for the outcome, and every completed job closes with a written workmanship warranty you can actually enforce.
Our CT operation is licensed, bonded, and insured — GL and workers' comp both current, certificates available before any project starts. Not because it's optional, but because a property owner deserves protection when they invite a crew onto their building.
Every Forge Siding project closes with a signed workmanship warranty document. Not a verbal commitment — an actual document with coverage period, covered defects, and a resolution process you can hold us to. Manufacturer material warranties are registered in your name at project completion, so the coverage that came with the product stays in force.

Most siding failures start as small, quiet problems. Catching them before they reach your wall cavity changes the repair scope dramatically — and the cost even more so.
Any crack through the panel face is an active moisture entry point. Window corners and butt joints are the highest-risk locations — and the easiest to overlook until they've allowed a full season of water infiltration.
Interior moisture near windows is frequently misdiagnosed as a window problem. Failed flashing or caulk at the rough opening — a siding-system issue — is the actual source in the majority of cases we diagnose in CT.
Buckled vinyl means panels were installed too tight for the thermal range — no expansion room for seasonal movement. The deformation grows with each heat cycle and eventually opens the panel lock, creating wind and water entry points.
On fiber cement specifically, field cuts that weren't back-primed at installation are the entry point. The paint fails at cut edges first and the pattern makes the cause obvious to anyone who's diagnosed it before.
Fastener specification is the most commonly skipped installation requirement. We've documented hundreds of Lebanon, CT properties where the original installer used bright nails on fiber cement, voiding the material warranty before the first winter.
Wall air leakage through siding failures can account for 10–20% of annual HVAC energy consumption. Addressing the envelope often produces measurable utility savings alongside the repair value.
Our Lebanon, CT team handles the full spectrum of residential and commercial cladding work from single-panel storm repairs to complete building envelope re-siding on large multi-family properties.
New siding installation covers the complete scope: housewrap, flashing at all penetrations, panel installation per manufacturer specification, and finishing trim at corners, windows, doors, and the roofline. We work on new construction alongside general contractors and handle full tear-off replacements on existing Lebanon, CT homes and commercial properties. Our crews are certified on vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and steel panel systems — with the documentation to keep every material warranty in force.
We also handle the complete trim system: corner posts, J-channel, soffit panels, fascia wrap, and all penetration accessories. Not as an optional add-on — as part of every installation scope, because a new siding system that terminates into failing trim defeats the purpose of the project.

Root cause diagnosis before any repair work is our standing process. A cracked panel that gets swapped without investigating the housewrap beneath, a caulk joint that gets re-sealed without checking sheathing moisture — these are surface patches over active problems. We find the cause first, quote the actual fix in writing, and then execute.
Emergency dispatch for genuine siding emergencies — missing panels with rain incoming, active moisture entry into a wall cavity, structural damage — is available around the clock. A live dispatcher answers, not an answering queue. We triage by exposure severity and send a crew based on actual risk.

Each cladding material has distinct installation requirements that determine whether it performs for 10 years or 40. Our Lebanon, CT crews hold certifications specific to the products they install — not one generic approach applied to every material. Fiber cement installation requires back-priming at every field cut, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners, documented fastener schedules per the manufacturer guide, and silica dust controls during cutting operations. Vinyl installation requires expansion gaps calibrated to the local temperature range in CT. Wood siding requires moisture content verification at delivery, species-appropriate nailing patterns, and end-grain sealing at every butt joint. We address each of these requirements as non-negotiable installation practice.
For commercial and multi-family projects in CT, our operation extends to HOA communities, property management portfolios, and new construction cladding for GCs who need a reliable siding subcontractor with documented quality control. Standardized per-building documentation and a single project point of contact make multi-unit work manageable for property managers.

Vinyl soffit and fascia wrap, HardieTrim boards, aluminum-capped fascia, and fiber cement trim boards are all within our scope. On replacement projects, we replace trim components that are damaged or compromised regardless of the primary panel material — because leaving failing trim behind a new siding installation creates the exact moisture entry point the new siding was supposed to eliminate.

Post-storm inspections document hail and wind damage at panel face level — the close-range evidence that insurance adjusters need for full-scope claim approvals. We've helped Lebanon, CT property owners recover claim settlements that significantly exceeded initial adjuster estimates by providing specific, photo-verifiable panel-count documentation rather than general damage descriptions.

Property managers and HOA boards working with us get a dedicated project point of contact, building-by-building scheduling documentation, and a close-out package — permit records, warranty registrations, per-building photos — formatted for board records and institutional property management systems.

There are plenty of siding contractors in CT. Here's what the ones worth hiring actually do differently.
Materials, labor, permit fees, and disposal listed separately on every estimate. You know exactly what you're paying for before signing. The estimate becomes the contract, and the final invoice reflects it — no lump-sum numbers we can pad quietly.
Our CT crews operate from locally based dispatch — not a regional hub routing jobs to whoever's available statewide. That means faster arrival windows, familiarity with local building departments, and crews who know Lebanon's specific code requirements.
An unlicensed contractor on your property creates liability exposure for you personally. License verification before signing eliminates the most common contractor fraud scenario in the Lebanon, CT market.
Every completed project closes with a signed warranty document: coverage period, covered defects, and the resolution process — all specified in writing. Manufacturer warranties registered in your name at project completion. Not a verbal promise; a document you can file, reference, and enforce.
A crew that leaves a clean site every evening is a crew that respects the property they're working on. We treat cleanup as part of the daily schedule, not a last-day obligation.
You don't have to call us to find out where your project stands. We tell you, every day, in writing.
The same documented process governs every project we take in Lebanon, CT. No mystery, no moving goalposts — you know what's happening at every stage.
Our Lebanon, CT dispatch team takes your call and books a free on-site assessment within 24–48 hours. We arrive with measuring tools and a moisture meter, document all wall planes and existing substrate conditions, and identify any issues before quoting.
Delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. Every component — panels, trim, housewrap, fasteners, labor, permit fee — listed separately. We bring material samples to the estimate meeting and walk through the product trade-offs relevant to your Lebanon, CT property.
Where permits are required in CT, we handle the application, filing fee, and inspection scheduling as part of standard scope. Your confirmed start date is in writing and the crew assignment is confirmed before materials are ordered.
Morning update from the lead installer confirming the day's scope. Afternoon update reporting what was completed. Unexpected substrate conditions documented same-day with photos and a written change order — never added to the invoice without prior approval.
Close-out package delivered: permit records, manufacturer warranty registrations in your name, post-project photos by elevation, and our signed workmanship warranty document. Everything in one organized file.
Full replacement, line-item estimate, project finished on schedule, and a close-out package with every warranty document organized before I signed off on final payment. This is what a professional siding project actually looks like.
The insurance documentation package they produced — panel-by-panel photos, written damage scope by elevation — got our claim approved at full replacement on first review. The adjuster told us it was the most detailed storm documentation he'd seen that year.
We manage a 34-unit townhome community. The per-building documentation, the building-by-building scheduling, the HOA board close-out package — these are things I'd been trying to get from contractors for years and never received until Forge Siding.
They found rotted sheathing on the west wall during tear-off. Called me within the hour, showed me the photos, issued a change order before doing anything. That's the process working exactly as it should — and it's shockingly rare in my experience with contractors.
Fiber cement installation — the back-priming at every field cut, the fastener schedule documentation, the manufacturer warranty registration. I've seen fiber cement installed by other contractors. I know what the correct process looks like. Forge Siding followed every step of it.
Site was clean every evening — tarps on the landscaping, fasteners swept, no debris left overnight. On the last day of the project, the yard looked better than when they'd arrived. That's a detail that matters.
Proximity matters for response time and for practical accountability. Our Lebanon crews work in Lebanon, CT communities year-round, building the inspector relationships, material supplier reliability, and local code familiarity that produce better project outcomes than out-of-market operations working from a generic spec sheet.
