Quality Work

10+ Years Experience

Fully Licensed

Certified Contractors

If you want siding done right on a Los Altos Hills home, hire a James Hardie Elite Preferred certified installer who carries CSLB License #986607, over 10 years of experience, and a 10-year labor warranty behind every job. We are Pro Superior Construction, a family-owned siding and window specialist, and we serve Los Altos Hills across its roughly nine square miles of rolling hills, valleys, and open land. If you have been searching for siding contractors near me and want someone who leads with proof, you are in the right place.

Our work covers siding installation, siding replacement, and siding repair, fire-resistant siding built to wildfire standards, and window installation. We lead with proof because that is what matters when you are choosing someone to work on your home: a verified CSLB license you can check for yourself, and a manufacturer certification that confirms we install siding the way it was engineered to be installed. New siding installation refreshes how your home looks while protecting the structure underneath, and both matter here. The curb appeal of a well-finished exterior and the quiet confidence of knowing the wall behind it is weatherproofed should come together in one project, and that is how we approach every home.

Wildfire is one of the primary threats the Town identifies, which makes the right exterior siding materials more than a cosmetic decision. We help you choose quality siding products that hold up and still look like they belong on your property. For many homeowners here, that leads directly to James Hardie fiber cement siding, but we walk through every reasonable option with you so the decision is yours and it is informed.

Our Siding Services in Los Altos Hills

We install, replace, and repair exterior siding on Los Altos Hills homes, and we coordinate window work into the same project when it makes sense. Every job pairs lasting protection with the finished look you want, and that balance guides how we scope, measure, and build. Siding is our core focus as a company, not a side service we bolt onto general contracting, and that specialization shows up in the details of how a finished wall performs over the years. Our siding services run from a single wall of targeted repairs to a complete exterior.

Good siding work is more than fastening boards to a wall. Siding installation includes removing old siding where needed, checking and repairing the sheathing beneath it, and setting proper flashing and weather-resistive barriers so water is managed instead of trapped. When moisture is handled correctly, you avoid the dry rot, mold, and structural damage that turn a simple refresh into a costly repair. The difference between a siding job that lasts and one that fails early is almost always in these hidden layers, not the color you see from the street. Here is what we do.

Expert James Hardie Siding Installation in Durable Fiber Cement

James Hardie fiber cement siding is our flagship, and our Elite Preferred certification means we meet the highest installation standards James Hardie sets. That certification is manufacturer-recommended validation that our crews deliver expert siding installation of the product, which protects both the performance and the warranty. A manufacturer-backed credential is one of the clearest signals of quality you can look for in an exterior siding contractor, because it ties our workmanship to a standard an outside company is willing to put its name behind.

Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered specifically for conditions like ours. It resists moisture, it holds up to temperature swings, and it is engineered to resist ignition, which matters a great deal in a wildfire-exposed town. We work across the full Hardie line so the material fits the architecture rather than forcing the architecture to fit the material. Hardie Plank lap siding delivers the traditional horizontal lap look that suits so many homes here. Hardie Panel vertical siding and the Architectural Panel open up cleaner, more contemporary elevations. Hardie Shingle siding gives you a textured, shingled face for accents or whole walls, and Hardie Artisan lap siding carries a deeper shadow line for a more substantial, crafted appearance. We finish those profiles with matching Hardie trim boards, batten boards, and soffit panels so every edge and transition reads as one coordinated exterior. Hardie board siding is one of the most durable siding products you can put on a home.

ColorPlus Technology gives you a factory-applied finish in a wide selection of colors, baked on under controlled conditions so the finish resists fading far better than a coat of paint applied on site. That factory finish is part of what makes James Hardie siding so low maintenance over the long run. For a town where site-development review considers how exterior siding materials and colors blend with the natural landscape, having a deep, durable color range to choose from is a practical advantage, not just an aesthetic one. Fiber cement siding lets you address fire safety and your home’s curb appeal at the same time, without flattening the design or boxing you into a single look.

Siding Replacement and Full Exterior Siding

Full siding replacement rebuilds the entire exterior assembly, not just the visible surface. We tear off the old material, inspect the sheathing, replace what has failed, and install a fresh weather-resistive barrier with correct flashing before the new siding goes on. Removing old siding first is what lets us catch hidden problems before they are sealed back up, and on older Los Altos Hills homes we often find exactly the kind of concealed moisture damage that a surface-only crew would never see.

Siding replacement is also a chance to improve your home’s energy efficiency. When the old exterior comes off, we can seal the gaps and drafts that let conditioned air escape, and with certain materials we can add an insulated layer that further cuts heat transfer through the walls. The result is a home that holds its temperature better, leans less on heating and cooling, and trims energy costs along the way, so a siding replacement often improves day-to-day comfort along with appearance. Industry data puts the value new siding adds to a home around $17,130, and the curb appeal gain is immediate the moment the scaffolding comes down. For older homes especially, a full replacement resets the clock on protection and gives you a fresh, cohesive exterior rather than a patchwork of repairs.

Not every home needs a full replacement, and we will tell you plainly when it does not. But when the existing siding is widely cracked, warped, delaminating, or hiding rot across multiple walls, replacing it as a complete assembly is almost always the sounder investment. Chasing failures one board at a time on a worn-out exterior tends to cost more over time than doing it once and doing it right.

Siding Repair and Dry Rot Repair

Targeted repairs fix damaged siding without replacing the whole exterior, and they stop small problems from becoming structural ones. A cracked board, a section loosened by wind, or an area where water has started to work its way behind the wall is worth addressing early. To qualify a repair under our workmanship warranty, we need to complete at least one full wall, which keeps the repaired section weatherproofed as a continuous assembly rather than a vulnerable patch stitched into aging material.

Dry rot repair is a large part of this work. When water gets behind siding through failed flashing or cracked boards, the sheathing and framing underneath can rot and mold can take hold, sometimes long before any sign shows on the surface. Addressing moisture management correctly during the siding repair prevents the costly structural and mold issues that follow neglected damage. We open up the affected area, remove and replace the rotted material, correct whatever let the water in, and rebuild the wall assembly so it sheds water the way it should. Catching damaged siding at the repair stage, rather than waiting until a wall needs full reconstruction, is one of the simplest ways to protect your home and your budget at the same time.

Fire-Resistant and Ignition-Resistant Siding

We install fire-resistant, ignition-resistant exterior siding built to meet Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) standards, which is directly relevant in a town that names wildfire as one of its primary threats. WUI refers to areas where homes meet wildland vegetation, and the materials used there are chosen to resist ignition from embers and radiant heat. In the foothills around Los Altos Hills, where chaparral and wooded creek banks sit close to many properties, ember exposure is a realistic concern, not a hypothetical one.

Fiber cement is a natural fit for this challenge. Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to resist ignition and can carry a Class A fire rating in tested assemblies, so you can meet a demanding fire standard without giving up the look you want, which is the heart of how we think about protection without compromise. The Town’s published Fire Hazard Severity Zone map includes Moderate, High, and Very High classifications, so the right approach depends on where your property falls. We provide product and assembly documentation rather than vague promises, and we treat trim, soffits, vents, joints, and wall transitions correctly, because a fire-resistant wall is only as strong as its weakest detail. A single unprotected vent or a poorly sealed joint can undo the protection of an otherwise careful installation, which is why we pay attention to every one of those points. We never call any siding fireproof. The accurate terms are fire-resistant and ignition-resistant, and the distinction matters both legally and practically in California.

Other Siding Options: Vinyl Siding, Classic Wood Siding, and LP SmartSide

James Hardie fiber cement siding is our flagship, but it is not your only choice, and part of an honest estimate is laying out the alternatives. We also walk through how each material compares against masonry looks like brick veneer so you can see the full range before you decide.

Vinyl siding is affordable, easy to repair, and can last for decades with proper maintenance, and insulated vinyl siding adds a layer that improves your home’s energy efficiency on top of that. It is a sensible option for homeowners watching their budget who still want a clean, low-maintenance exterior. Classic wood siding delivers a natural, warm look that some homeowners prize above anything else, and for the right home there is nothing quite like the character of real wood siding. It asks for more upkeep in return, including periodic sealing or painting, and we are candid about that trade-off before you commit. LP SmartSide is an engineered-wood option that holds a crisp profile and resists many of the problems that affect classic wood siding, giving you a wood look with added durability. We also handle mobile home siding for the specific needs of those structures.

Each of these siding materials carries its own trade-offs in cost, maintenance, longevity, and fire performance. The table below gives you a quick side-by-side of how the main siding options compare, and we walk you through them in detail during the estimate so your choice fits your home and your budget, not a one-size answer. In a wildfire-exposed setting, we will always make sure you understand how a given material performs against ignition, so your decision accounts for protection as much as price and appearance.

Siding Material Relative Cost Maintenance Ignition Resistance Best For
James Hardie fiber cement (flagship) Premium Low, with factory ColorPlus finish Engineered to resist ignition Wildfire-exposed homes wanting durability and curb appeal together
Vinyl siding Budget-friendly Low, easy to repair Not fire-rated Homeowners watching their budget who want a clean, low-maintenance exterior
Classic wood siding Varies Higher, needs periodic sealing or painting Not fire-rated Homes where natural wood character is the priority
LP SmartSide (engineered wood) Mid-range Moderate Not fire-rated A wood look with added durability and a crisp profile

Window Installation and Replacement to Boost Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

We install and replace windows, and we often fold them into a siding project so the flashing, trim, and exterior envelope are handled as one coordinated job. Integrating windows with new siding installation means the two systems meet correctly where they matter most, which is at the flashing details that keep water out. We work with Milgard, Andersen, Anlin, Marvin, Pella, Alside, Amsco, Lindsay, and Plygem, so we can match the right product to your home and climate. Pairing modern windows with a fresh exterior also tends to lift your home’s energy efficiency, since older windows are a common source of drafts and heat loss.

Window replacement also appears on the Town’s list of projects requiring a permit, so combining siding and windows keeps the permitting and inspections organized under one scope. Request a free estimate and we will assess both together.

Why Los Altos Hills Homeowners Choose Pro Superior Construction

Homeowners here choose us because we prove we are qualified before we ever talk about color. The two questions that matter most, “will this contractor do the job right” and “are they trustworthy and licensed,” are answered up front with credentials you can verify. We would rather earn your confidence with documentation than ask you to take our word for it.

Here is what stands behind our work:

  • CSLB License #986607. California requires contractors to hold a valid license for home improvement work over $500, and you can verify ours directly with the Contractors State License Board. Checking a license is the single best way to confirm a contractor is legitimate, and we encourage you to do it before you hire anyone, including us.
  • Fully licensed and insured. We carry general liability insurance that protects your property and the crew on site during the entire project, which matters on large lots with mature landscaping and uneven terrain where the work carries real physical risk.
  • James Hardie Elite Preferred certification. A manufacturer certification confirms we are qualified to install the product correctly with high quality materials. Among siding contractors, choosing a certified installer is one of the clearest quality signals available, and Elite Preferred sits at the top of that certification tier.
  • Founded in 2013, over 10 years of experience. We have helped hundreds of customers across the region, which means the situations we encounter on your home are rarely new to us.
  • BBB A+ accreditation. Third-party validation of how we do business, from a source with no stake in our sales.
  • 10-year labor warranty. Comprehensive warranties reflect both the manufacturer’s product coverage and our own workmanship guarantee. Many contractors offer a one-year workmanship warranty; we stand behind our labor for ten, and if something goes wrong with our work in that window, we come back and make it right.

We are family owned, and the relationship with our clients is what we care about most. Los Altos Hills is a low-density, single-family community built historically around a one-acre minimum lot pattern, which means many projects here are substantial, with long wall runs and multiple elevations to detail. We also work as a multifamily commercial contractor on large, complex jobs, and that capacity is a trust signal, not a sales pitch: the standards and systems that hold up on big projects carry into every home we touch. The same crews that keep a large multi-building job organized and on scope bring that same detail oriented discipline and quality workmanship to a single-family exterior, led by a project manager who keeps the work on track. At the same time, no project is too small to matter to us. We take on single-wall siding repair with the same care we bring to a full custom estate.

We prize honest, quality work over quick turnarounds. To us, the job is not done until you are satisfied, and homeowners regularly tell us our team did an amazing job and delivered excellent customer service throughout. Our pricing is competitive, and we believe in transparent pricing as a matter of fairness rather than discounting. You will see a written scope with upfront pricing that spells out what is included, so you know what you are paying for before any work begins, and you are not left guessing where a number came from. We also know local building codes and will handle the Town’s exterior-work requirements for you, so you are not left decoding permits on your own. If you have been burned by a contractor before, that is exactly the experience we built our reputation to replace, and we think our values and the way we work will set us apart from companies you may have dealt with in the past. Reading reviews is a smart way to gauge any contractor, and we invite you to do it.

See it for yourself. Request a free, no-obligation estimate and we will inspect your home and lay out the scope in writing. Call (916) 474-4483 or reach us through our contact page.

How Our Siding Process Works, With Transparent Pricing From Day One

Our process is built to be low-stress and predictable, from the first call to the final walkthrough. There are no surprise visits, no mystery charges, and no vague answers when you ask what happens next. Here is how a Los Altos Hills siding project runs with us.

  • 1. Free on-site inspection and property-specific estimate. A contractor comes to your home, measures the actual wall area, checks the condition of the existing siding, and prepares a written estimate at a fair price. That estimate should account for labor, materials, permits, and cleanup so there are no surprises later. This is also where we spot early signs of dry rot or damaged siding that a quick glance from the curb would miss.
  • 2. Material and color selection with a written scope. You choose the siding profile, material, and finish, whether that is James Hardie fiber cement siding, vinyl siding, classic wood siding, or LP SmartSide. We document included walls, tear-off and disposal, weather barrier and flashing work, trim and soffit details, window integration, and how concealed damage will be handled if we find it.
  • 3. Permit submission through eTrakit. Los Altos Hills requires building-permit applications to be submitted electronically through its eTrakit portal, and we handle that filing for you.
  • 4. Installation within Town construction hours. Construction is permitted from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no heavy-equipment operation on Saturday, and we work within those hours. Proper flashing and weatherproofing go in as the siding is installed, and we protect your site, your landscaping, and the community pathways throughout.
  • 5. Inspections and final walkthrough. We coordinate the required inspections, then walk the finished job with you, checking the lines, the trim, and the transitions together. The job is not done until you are satisfied.

A note on timing and inspections, because it shapes the schedule here. The Town recommends scheduling inspections three to four days in advance, does not provide same-day inspections, and does not schedule or perform building inspections on Fridays. We build those realities into your project plan rather than promising a date we cannot control. Most siding installations take one to two weeks of active work once they are underway, but product availability, permit review, and any concealed damage affect the overall timeline. A home that turns out to need extensive dry rot repair behind the old siding will simply take longer than one that does not, and we would rather tell you that honestly than rush past it. We give you a written schedule after the inspection and scope are confirmed, and if your project involves restoration after damage, that scope can include cleanup, reconstruction, and help documenting an insurance claim with your insurance company. We never trade quality for speed, and financing options are available if you want to spread the cost of the work over time.

Siding in Los Altos Hills: Permits, Fire Code, Terrain, and Housing

Siding work in Los Altos Hills comes with specific local requirements, and knowing them ahead of time is part of choosing the right contractor. A good installer here understands the Town’s permit process, its wildfire code, its housing stock, and its terrain. We handle all four so you do not have to become an expert in any of them.

Permits and who issues them. Siding and stucco replacement require a Town of Los Altos Hills building permit. The Town of Los Altos Hills Building Department is located at 26379 Fremont Road, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022, and it issues these permits directly. Applications are submitted electronically through eTrakit. On cost, the current Community Development fee schedule became effective August 1, 2026, and siding is not listed as a fixed itemized permit, so the valuation-based building-fee structure applies to this scope. That schedule defines project valuation as the expected cost of the work in the application, including labor and materials, which is why the permit total depends on your confirmed scope rather than a flat number. We prepare the paperwork and submit the permit for you, so you are not navigating the portal alone, and we factor the permit step into the written schedule so it does not catch you off guard.

Wildfire and WUI code. Los Altos Hills adopted the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code with local amendments effective January 1, 2026. The ordinance covers exterior building materials and assemblies used for new buildings and for additions or alterations to existing buildings in applicable WUI areas, and it applies its new-building WUI provisions throughout the Town’s incorporated lands. The Town identifies wildfire as one of its primary threats, and its Fire Hazard Severity Zone map includes Moderate, High, and Very High classifications. For an existing-home re-siding project, applicability depends on your property and scope, so we confirm it with the Building Department rather than guess. When fire-resistant materials are required or wanted, we supply product and assembly documentation and detail the trim, soffits, and vents correctly. This is one more reason James Hardie fiber cement siding comes up so often in our conversations with homeowners here, since its ignition resistance and Class A fire rating in tested assemblies align well with the direction the code is moving. We describe these materials as fire-resistant or ignition-resistant, never fireproof.

Housing stock and why re-siding is common here. Nearly 40% of the Town’s housing units, in the 2019 ACS data cited in its Housing Element, were built from 1960 through 1979, and another 19.1% were built from 1940 through 1959. That is a large pool of mid-century exterior assemblies now reaching the age where inspection, siding repair, or full replacement makes sense. Original siding from that era is frequently at or past the end of its service life, and the weather barriers behind it were often built to standards we have since improved on considerably. The Town also reports that roughly 20 to 25 older homes are replaced each year, so the local building stock is a mix of original mid-century construction and newer custom homes. We work comfortably across both, matching trim, reveals, and material transitions to the home in front of us, whether we are updating a mid-century ranch or finishing a newly built estate.

Terrain, access, and how your home sits on its land. The Town spans about nine square miles of rolling hills, valleys, open land, and a rural atmosphere, and it documents wooded creek banks, chaparral, and poison oak across its foothills. Instead of conventional sidewalks, the Town uses a community pathway network, and we take care to keep those paths, along with gates and landscaping, protected and usable during tear-off and material delivery. Material staging on a large, sloped lot takes planning, and we work that out with you before the first delivery so nothing gets in your way or anyone else’s. Major projects may trigger open-space requirements where a property has oak coverage, creek areas, or slopes of 30% or more, and for work subject to site-development review the Town considers exterior siding materials and colors that blend with the natural landscape. That rule is why we treat color and profile selection as part of the job, not an afterthought, and why the deep ColorPlus palette is such a practical fit for homes here. For orientation, we serve homes from the Fremont Road corridor near Town Hall, out to Purissima Park on Purissima Road, up along Altamont Road near Westwind Community Barn and Byrne Preserve, and across the El Monte Road area by Foothill College. We also serve the named annexation areas of West Loyola, Olive Tree, and Ravensbury. We serve Los Altos Hills from our San Francisco Bay Area operation, which puts us within reach of homeowners across the wider Northern California region. We are not based in town, and because the Town has no conventional commercial land uses, there is no in-town supply yard. We source materials from surrounding areas and bring them to your site. Reach us anytime through our contact page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost of a siding job in Los Altos Hills?

There is no single flat price, because siding cost depends on measured wall area and scope rather than the size of the house on paper. What moves an estimate includes tear-off and disposal, concealed sheathing damage, trim and soffit detail, site access, finish choice, window integration, and permit administration. The material you choose matters too, since fiber cement siding, vinyl siding, and classic wood siding carry different price points. A thorough written estimate should spell out labor, materials, permits, and cleanup, and that commitment to upfront pricing is part of how we work. We give you a free, property-specific estimate after inspecting your home.
