Siding Replacement
Your Home's First Line of Defense
Protect and transform your home's exterior with new siding from AQ Construction. We install vinyl siding, fiber cement (James Hardie Board), and engineered wood siding. Our team handles removal of old siding, inspection of underlying sheathing, weather barrier installation, and professional siding installation with proper flashing and trim work.
New siding does more than improve curb appeal — it protects your home from moisture, pests, and the elements. Baltimore's climate, with hot humid summers, cold winters, and frequent rain, puts significant stress on exterior materials. A quality siding installation with proper weather barriers and flashing can also improve energy efficiency and significantly increase your home's resale value.
We work with homeowners and real estate investors on siding projects of all sizes, from single-family homes to multi-unit properties throughout Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Prince George's County, and Harford County. Whether you're replacing damaged siding on a rowhome in Canton or upgrading the entire exterior of a colonial in Ellicott City, we deliver professional results.

Our Process
How We Work
Baltimore-Area Expertise
Siding for Baltimore-Area Homes
Rowhome Siding
Baltimore's rowhomes — in neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Fells Point, Canton, Locust Point, Patterson Park, Hampden, and Pigtown — often have Formstone, aluminum, or deteriorating vinyl siding. Removing Formstone to reveal and restore the original brick is a popular project, but when the underlying brick is damaged, new siding is the better option. We install vinyl and fiber cement siding on rowhomes with proper flashing around shared party walls, windows, and doors. For rowhomes with rear additions or bump-outs, we match the siding style and color to create a cohesive look.
Suburban & Single-Family Homes
Homes in Towson, Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia, Severna Park, Bel Air, Owings Mills, and Randallstown often have vinyl or wood siding that's reached the end of its lifespan. Signs that it's time for replacement include warping, cracking, fading, moisture damage behind the siding, and increasing energy bills. We help homeowners choose between vinyl (most affordable, low maintenance), fiber cement (premium durability, fire resistant, paintable), and engineered wood (natural wood appearance with improved moisture resistance). Fiber cement siding from James Hardie is our most popular choice for suburban homes due to its 30+ year lifespan and excellent warranty.
Weather Considerations in Maryland
Maryland's Mid-Atlantic climate subjects exterior siding to freeze-thaw cycles in winter, intense UV exposure in summer, and heavy rain throughout the year. Proper installation is critical — this includes house wrap (weather barrier), correct nailing patterns that allow for thermal expansion, proper flashing around windows and doors, and adequate ventilation behind the siding. Cutting corners on installation leads to moisture intrusion, mold, and premature failure. AQ Construction follows manufacturer specifications and best practices for every installation.
Investor & Rental Property Siding
For real estate investors, siding replacement is one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements. New siding instantly transforms curb appeal and protects the structure from water damage. We work with investors throughout Baltimore City, Dundalk, Essex, Glen Burnie, and Parkville on cost-effective vinyl siding installations that maximize property value while keeping budgets in check. We offer competitive pricing for multi-property investors and can coordinate multiple projects for efficiency.
