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 Stratford property — crews who diagnose the actual problem, price it in writing, and fix it once.

Forge Siding has been delivering Siding across Stratford, TX 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.
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.
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.
Drywall staining, soft spots when you press near exterior walls, or a persistent musty odor in exterior-adjacent rooms are downstream indicators. The sheathing has usually been wet for weeks before these symptoms appear.
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.
Exterior paint failing within two to four years of application on wood or fiber cement is almost always a back-priming failure — moisture migrates through the panel from behind and pushes the front paint off. Re-painting without addressing this repeats the cycle.
Dark streaking from nailhead locations on vinyl or fiber cement means non-galvanized fasteners are corroding. As the fastener degrades, its holding strength decreases — a panel secured by a corroded nail is a panel waiting to separate in a windstorm.
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 Stratford, TX 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.

Siding repair in Stratford, TX 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 Stratford, TX 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 Stratford, TX claims. That documentation service is included in every storm inspection at no additional charge.

Each cladding material has distinct installation requirements that determine whether it performs for 10 years or 40. Our Stratford, TX 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 TX. 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 TX, 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.

Siding doesn't end at the wall panels. Soffit, fascia, corner posts, J-channel, window trim, door trim, and all penetration accessories are part of the building envelope — and failing trim components are among the most common moisture entry points we encounter during inspection and repair calls. Our Stratford, TX crews handle the complete trim system as standard scope on every installation project.

A professional siding inspection before buying or selling a Stratford, TX 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 TX. Here's what the ones worth hiring actually do differently.
Lump-sum estimates are the contractor's tool. Line-item estimates are the client's. We provide the latter on every project, from a single-panel repair to a full commercial re-siding contract.
We don't schedule jobs we can't start within a reasonable window. Current backlog means a delay? We tell you upfront with realistic dates, not optimistic ones designed to close the sale.
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 Stratford, TX market.
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.
Staging tarps protect landscaping and driveways before demo starts. We sweep for fasteners every afternoon before the crew leaves. Debris is hauled off-site rather than sitting in a roll-off on your driveway for three weeks after the project ends.
The lead installer contacts you each morning to confirm the day's scope and each afternoon to report what was completed. If the project uncovers unexpected conditions — the sheathing damage that shows up during tear-off — you hear about it same-day with photos and a written change order, before we touch anything additional.
The same documented process governs every project we take in Stratford, TX. No mystery, no moving goalposts — you know what's happening at every stage.
Our Stratford, TX 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 Stratford, TX property.
Where permits are required in TX, 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.
We don't consider a surprise to be discovered after the project ends. If we find something during the project, you know about it before we act on it.
We walk every elevation with you at project completion. Every scope item verified complete. If anything isn't right, we note it and fix it before considering the project closed. Final payment collected after the walkthrough sign-off — not before.
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.
Pre-purchase inspection on a property we were evaluating found sheathing moisture on two elevations the general home inspector had completely missed. Used the written report to negotiate a $12,000 seller credit. The inspection paid for itself about 40 times over.
I verified the license number in the TX database before signing. Current, properly classified, no history. That two-minute check was the most useful thing I did in the entire contractor selection process.
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.
