Professional Siding Contractor: Installation Protects and Enhances Your Home
Your home’s exterior plays a major role in curb appeal, energy efficiency, and long-term protection. Whether you’re replacing damaged siding, upgrading for better insulation, or enhancing the look of your home, our expert team delivers clean, high-quality results that last.
A siding contractor based in Jamestown, NY, Mitchell Dossey Contracting installs and replaces siding on homes, garages, and small commercial buildings, from a single wall to a full house.
Complete Siding Services
Siding is only the outer layer. When the old siding comes off, we check what’s under it: rotted sheathing, missing house wrap, and windows that were never flashed properly. On older homes it’s common to find board sheathing with gaps, or no weather barrier at all. Because Mitchell is also a general contractor, these repairs happen on the same job, before the new siding goes on. Siding repair and installation is tailored to your needs, property type, and budget.
Siding Installation for New Construction
On a new home, addition, or garage, Mitchell Dossey Contracting installs the full wall system, not just the panels.
- House Wrap and Sheathing. A weather-resistive barrier goes over the sheathing to keep wind and water out while letting moisture escape.
- Window and Door Flashing. Flashing tape and trim are installed in the right order so water sheds away from every opening.
- Full Siding Installation. Panels, corners, and starter strips are installed to the manufacturer’s specs so the warranty holds.
- Color and Style Selection. We help you compare profiles and colors, with samples you can see against your house.
Siding Replacement
If your existing siding is cracked, warped, faded, or outdated, we offer full replacement services that restore beauty and protection.
- Tear-Off and Disposal. Old siding comes off down to the sheathing and gets hauled away.
- Sheathing Inspection and Repair. Soft or rotted sheathing is replaced, and gaps are closed before anything new goes on.
- New Weather Barrier. Fresh house wrap and flashing go on around every window and door.
- Kick-Out Flashing. Where a roof edge meets a wall, a kick-out flashing steers water into the gutter instead of down the siding.
- Trim Wrapping. Wood window and door trim gets covered in aluminum capping, so it never needs painting again.
- Soffit and Fascia Replacement. Vented soffits let air into the attic. New fascia gives the gutters a solid board to hang from. See Gutters and Drainage and Roofing for how these tie together.
Siding Materials
We work with trusted, industry-leading brands to provide long-lasting, low-maintenance siding solutions, including:
- Vinyl Siding. The lowest cost option. It never needs paint and comes in many colors and profiles. Panels can crack if hit hard in very cold weather.
- Insulated Vinyl Siding. Vinyl with a foam backing. The panels are stiffer, lie straighter on older walls, and add some insulation.
- Engineered Wood Siding. Looks like painted wood and is lighter than fiber cement. It needs repainting every several years, and it has to be installed with the right clearance from the roof and ground.
- Fiber Cement Siding. Heavy and durable. It won’t rot or burn and holds paint well. It costs more to buy and install than vinyl.

Signs You May Need New Siding
Your siding plays a crucial role in insulating and shielding your home. Common signs it may be time to replace your home siding:
- Cracked, Warped, or Loose Panels. Gaps let water and wind behind the siding, where it soaks the sheathing.
- Bubbling or Blistering. Bubbles under the surface usually mean water is trapped behind the siding.
- Water Stains or Damage Inside. Stains on interior walls, especially under windows, often point to failed flashing or a missing weather barrier.
- Mold or Mildew That Keeps Coming Back. Surface mildew washes off. If it returns quickly, moisture may be coming from behind the panels.
- Faded or Peeling Finishes. Fading is cosmetic. Peeling paint on wood or engineered wood siding means the boards are exposed to water.
- Drafts Near Outlets and Windows. Old siding with no house wrap lets wind through the walls. New siding with a weather barrier closes those gaps.
- Woodpecker or Pest Damage. Holes in wood or engineered siding let in insects and water. Repeated woodpecker damage often means insects are already in the wall.

Frequently asked questions
How long does siding installation take?
The average siding project takes one to two weeks, depending on home size, material, and weather conditions.
Is fiber cement siding worth the higher cost?
For many homeowners, yes. It offers a longer lifespan, better weather resistance, and improved aesthetics, which can increase your home’s value over time. Read our article, Vinyl vs Fiber Cement.
Does siding improve energy efficiency?
Yes. Insulated siding options, particularly vinyl with foam backing, can improve thermal performance and reduce heating costs in winter.
Can I replace siding during the winter?
While not ideal, siding can be installed in cold months by experienced crews. Spring through fall is generally recommended for best results.
Will new siding affect my home’s resale value?
Absolutely. New siding can dramatically improve curb appeal and buyer confidence, often leading to a higher selling price and quicker sale.
