Expert Siding Installation & Replacement in Howell, Brighton, Hartland & South Lyon, MI
Your home's siding is one of its most important defenses against Michigan's harsh weather — from bitter winters to sweltering summers, driving rain to high winds. At Ethical Exteriors Inc., we provide professional siding installation and siding replacement services designed to protect your home, boost curb appeal, and add long-term value. As a CertainTeed certified installer, we work with some of the industry's most trusted siding brands and products so you can feel confident in every panel we put on your home.
Siding Installation
Whether you're building a new home or improving an existing one, choosing the right siding and having it installed correctly makes all the difference. Our team of licensed and insured professionals brings the same level of care and craftsmanship to every siding project that has made us a trusted name in roofing across Livingston County and beyond.๏ปฟ
Our siding installation process includes:
A thorough assessment of your home's exterior to identify the right siding product and profile for your needs and budget
Removal of any existing siding, if applicable, and inspection of the underlying wall structure
Proper installation of house wrap or moisture barrier to protect against water infiltration
Expert installation of siding panels, trim, corners, and accessories in strict accordance with manufacturer guidelines
Careful sealing and flashing around windows, doors, roof lines, and all wall penetrations
Thorough cleanup and a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction
We work with you from the first consultation through to project completion, keeping you informed at every step.
Siding Replacement
If your home's siding is showing signs of wear — cracking, fading, warping, or moisture damage — it may be time for a full replacement. Outdated or failing siding not only impacts curb appeal but can lead to moisture intrusion, energy loss, and structural damage if left unaddressed.๏ปฟ
Signs it's time to replace your siding:
Visible cracking, splitting, or warping on panels
Paint that is peeling, fading, or chalking excessively
Higher-than-normal heating or cooling bills (a sign of failing insulation beneath)
Soft spots, bubbling, or discoloration that indicates moisture damage
Mold, mildew, or rot developing under or along the edges of panels
Siding that was damaged by hail, wind, or impact
When you work with Ethical Exteriors Inc. for siding replacement, you're getting more than just new panels — you're getting a complete exterior refresh backed by certified expertise, quality materials, and a team that stands behind its work.
The Siding Products We Install
As a CertainTeed certified installer, Ethical Exteriors Inc. offers a carefully selected lineup of premium siding products to meet every homeowner's needs. Whether you're looking for the low-maintenance performance of vinyl or the bold durability of fiber cement, we have the right product for your home.
CertainTeed Monogram® Vinyl Siding
CertainTeed Monogram is one of the most popular premium vinyl siding products available — and for good reason. It delivers the beautiful, classic look of real cedar without any of the maintenance demands of natural wood.
Key features:
- TrueTexture™ finish — molded directly from real cedar boards for a deep, authentic wood-grain appearance with crisp shadow lines
- STUDfinder™ installation system — a patented feature that makes installation faster and more precise by marking stud locations directly on the panel
- RigidForm™ nail hem — a rolled-over, stiffened nail hem that provides a straighter-on-the-wall appearance and superior windload performance
- CertiLock™ locking system — a self-aligning interlock system that adds structural stability and keeps panels secure in high winds
- PermaColor® Lifetime Fade Protection — titanium dioxide-enhanced color formulation that resists UV fading for the life of the product
- Lifetime Limited Warranty — transferable to a new homeowner if you sell, protecting your investment long-term
- Wind-load tested — independently tested per ASTM D5206 standards to withstand extreme wind pressures well above industry minimums
Monogram vinyl siding is available in a wide selection of profiles — including clapboard and dutch lap styles — and an extensive color palette. It's an excellent choice for homeowners who want lasting curb appeal with minimal upkeep.
CertainTeed Restoration Classic™ Vinyl Siding
Restoration Classic is CertainTeed's architecturally inspired vinyl siding line, designed for homeowners who want historically accurate style paired with modern performance. If your home has traditional or period-specific design elements, Restoration Classic is an ideal fit.
Key features:
- Five architecturally accurate style choices to authentically match the character of your home's exterior
- Select Cedar finish — industry-leading wood-grain replication for a natural, high-end look
- RigidForm™ nail hem — double-thick .088" nail hem for exceptional wall-flatness and wind resistance
- Wide spectrum of long-lasting colors formulated for durability and fade resistance
- PVC resin construction — inherently resistant to rot, moisture, insects, and impact
- Low maintenance — never needs painting and cleans easily with soap and water
- Lifetime Limited Warranty included
Restoration Classic pairs beautifully with CertainTeed's complementary trim and accessory products, including Vinyl Carpentry® and Restoration Millwork®, for a fully coordinated and finished exterior look.
CertainTeed InvisiVent® Soffit
No siding project is complete without proper soffit — and CertainTeed's InvisiVent is the highest-performing vinyl soffit available today. Soffit is the material that covers the underside of your roof overhang, and proper ventilation through the soffit is critical to protecting your attic and maintaining the health of your entire roofing and siding system.
Key features:
- More than 10 inches of net-free intake area per square foot — the highest ventilation performance of any vinyl soffit on the market
- At least 50% more ventilation than standard vinyl soffit, supporting proper attic airflow year-round
- Concealed intake vents — the hidden vent design delivers maximum airflow while maintaining a clean, smooth aesthetic appearance
- Heavy-duty .044" thick vinyl — provides rigidity and durability; can also be used as vertical siding
- Works on short overhangs — effective even with an overhang as short as 10 inches
- PermaCOLOR® System — advanced color technology for lasting fade resistance
- Lifetime Limited Warranty and Class 1(A) fire rating
- Virtually maintenance-free — never needs painting
Good soffit ventilation reduces moisture buildup, helps prevent mold and mildew, lowers heating and cooling costs, and extends the life of your roof. When we install siding on your home, we assess your soffit system and can incorporate InvisiVent to ensure your home is fully protected from top to bottom.
James Hardie® HardiePlank® Lap Siding
For homeowners seeking the absolute pinnacle of siding durability and performance, James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding is a top-tier choice. Made from fiber cement — a composite of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers — HardiePlank delivers the classic horizontal lap-siding look with a level of protection that wood and vinyl simply cannot match.
Key features:
- Fiber cement construction — noncombustible, highly moisture-resistant, and impervious to rot, warping, and wood-boring insects
- Fire resistance — HardiePlank does not ignite when exposed to flames and will not fuel a fire, unlike vinyl or wood alternatives; many homeowners see insurance savings as a result
- Engineered for Climate — James Hardie products are specifically engineered for the climate conditions of the region where they're installed, ensuring optimal performance in Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal weather extremes
- Realistic wood aesthetics — available in the popular Select CedarMill® texture that closely replicates the grain of natural cedar, as well as a smooth option for a more contemporary look
- ColorPlus® Technology — available with a factory-applied, multi-coat baked-on finish that resists fading, chipping, and moisture damage better than field-applied paint
- Pest resistance — creates a barrier insects, birds, and pests cannot chew through or penetrate
- 30-year limited product warranty from James Hardie
HardiePlank is a premium investment that consistently delivers excellent returns in home value and curb appeal. It's the right choice for homeowners who want maximum protection and are building or renovating for the long haul.
