When your siding fails, it doesn't fail quietly. Moisture gets into sheathing, energy costs climb, and the interior damage that follows is always more expensive than the exterior repair that would have stopped it. Forge Siding puts licensed, manufacturer-certified crews on your Landrum property — crews who diagnose the actual problem, price it in writing, and fix it once.

Forge Siding has been delivering Siding across Landrum, SC for over fifteen years. Our lead installers hold manufacturer certifications on every cladding system we install — fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, steel — and the same crew that estimates your project executes it. We don't sub out the technical work.
We work across the full project range: single-panel storm repairs, complete whole-home re-siding, new construction cladding alongside general contractors, and commercial multi-family projects for property managers who need consistent quality and documentation across multiple buildings.
We've completed projects in every climate zone Landrum, SC presents — high-humidity coastal exposures, high-altitude freeze-thaw cycling, urban heat island conditions. That geographic breadth translates to practical knowledge about product selection and installation specification that out-of-market contractors working from a generic spec sheet simply don't have.

These are the signals that experienced crews look for on every Landrum, SC property inspection. Missing them is how a $400 repair becomes a $4,000 wall reconstruction.
Hairline fractures look cosmetic. At arm's reach they look different — especially on fiber cement where surface spalling around impact points creates moisture entry that accelerates sheathing damage.
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 SC.
Warped wood siding typically means unpainted back faces — differential expansion between the painted front and the raw back causes curvature that worsens with every moisture cycle.
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 Landrum, SC 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.
Every service below is performed by our own licensed crew — not passed to a subcontractor network we don't control. We carry the manufacturer certifications, the diagnostic tools, and the installation experience for every scope we quote.
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 Landrum, SC 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.
For full replacement projects, our tear-off process includes substrate inspection with a calibrated moisture meter on every exposed wall section. Sheathing damage found during demo is documented with photos and priced in a written change order before any additional work proceeds — not discovered on the final invoice.

Siding repair in Landrum, SC covers a range that extends well beyond swapping a cracked panel: hail and wind damage after storms, impact holes from debris or vehicle contact, failed caulk joints at penetrations allowing water infiltration, loose or blown-off panels, and moisture-infiltrated substrate that requires sheathing repair before new cladding can go on. Our Landrum, SC repair crews carry common panel stock, a moisture meter, and caulk probe tools on every service truck — so assessment and often same-day repair happen in a single visit.
For insurance-related damage, we produce a panel-level photo documentation package — close-range images by elevation, written damage scope, and material specifications formatted for adjuster review. After the initial adjuster estimate comes in lower than the actual scope, our documentation has supported successful appeals on a significant number of Landrum, SC claims. That documentation service is included in every storm inspection at no additional charge.

Manufacturer certification matters for one concrete reason: it's the difference between a material warranty that's in force and one that's already voided before the project is complete. Our James Hardie Preferred Contractor status, for example, means the 30-year material warranty on every fiber cement project we complete is fully registered in the client's name at project close.
Beyond installation, we perform professional siding inspections — pre-purchase assessments for buyers, post-storm condition reports for insurance claims, and annual maintenance inspections for property owners who want to catch caulk failures and minor fastener movement before they become moisture damage. These inspections use calibrated pin-type and non-invasive capacitance meters for moisture assessment — tools a general home inspector doesn't carry. The written report you receive ranks deficiencies by priority and includes rough cost ranges for every item.

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.

A professional siding inspection before buying or selling a Landrum, SC property gives you panel-level condition documentation that general home inspectors don't produce. We assess fastener schedules, test caulk integrity at penetrations, probe sheathing moisture with calibrated meters, and deliver a priority-ranked written report with photo documentation and rough repair cost ranges. Pre-purchase inspections have identified sheathing moisture on properties where the general inspection report said the siding was "in acceptable condition."

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 SC. 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 SC 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 Landrum's specific code requirements.
Our SC contractor license number is provided at first contact. Two minutes in the state database tells you our status, our classification, and our disciplinary history. GL and workers' comp certificates are available before work starts — not expired documents or certificates for a different company name.
We also deliver a complete close-out package: permit records, manufacturer warranty registrations, and post-project photos organized by elevation. That file is useful for insurance renewals, property sales, and HOA records long after the project ends.
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.
A predictable process consistently produces better results than a flexible one. Here's exactly what to expect.
Our Landrum, SC 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.
The estimate is a document, not a handshake. It becomes the contract, and every line item is visible before you sign. No lump-sum number to parse after the fact.
Where permits are required in SC, 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.
The moisture meter reading at the estimate visit — before we'd agreed to anything — flagged elevated sheathing moisture behind our north wall. That diagnostic step upfront told me immediately what kind of contractor I was dealing with. The rest of the project matched that first impression exactly.
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.
The daily morning and afternoon updates from the lead installer were something I hadn't expected. I always knew exactly where the project stood. When the permit inspection happened, I heard about it the same day it passed.
Three bids — two lump sums and one line-item breakdown from Forge Siding. The line-item document made comparison possible in a way the other two bids didn't. When the choice becomes that clear, the decision is easy.
