Siding Installation & Replacement in Johnson City & The Tri-Cities
I&G Construction Services installs and replaces residential siding for homeowners across the Tri-Cities area — Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Jonesborough, and surrounding communities in Washington County, Sullivan County, and Carter County, Tennessee.
Your home’s siding is the largest surface area of your exterior. It protects the structural sheathing, insulation, and framing behind it from moisture, wind, UV exposure, and pest intrusion. When siding fails — whether from age, storm damage, or improper installation — the consequences go beyond cosmetics. Moisture gets behind the wall, and that’s when real damage begins.
We install vinyl siding, James Hardie fiber cement siding, engineered wood siding, and board and batten siding. We also handle soffit, fascia, trim work, house wrap, and flashing. Whether you need a full siding replacement or a targeted repair after storm damage, we handle the complete project from tear-off through final inspection.
We serve homeowners across the entire Tri-Cities metropolitan area, including Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Jonesborough, Elizabethton,
Gray, Piney Flats, and surrounding communities in Washington County, Sullivan County, and Carter County.
Siding Materials We Install in the Tri-Cities
Choosing the right siding material is the single biggest decision in your project. It affects how your home looks, how long it lasts, how much maintenance it requires, and what it costs. We work with three primary material categories and help you choose based on your budget, your maintenance tolerance, and how you plan to use the space.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding material in the Tri-Cities — affordable, durable, and virtually maintenance-free. Modern vinyl resists UV fading, cracking from temperature swings, and hail impact. It never needs painting, won’t rot, and cleans with a garden hose.
We install horizontal lap, Dutch lap, vertical board and batten, vinyl shake, and scallop profiles in a wide range of colors. We help you match the right profile and color to your home’s architecture.
Best for: Tri-Cities homeowners who want an attractive, low-maintenance exterior at the most affordable price point.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding (HardiePlank)
James Hardie fiber cement siding is a premium material made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — one of the most durable siding options available for East Tennessee homes. Hardie’s HZ5 formula is engineered specifically for our climate zone, resisting the moisture penetration that causes cracking and delamination in humid conditions.
ColorPlus Technology provides a factory-applied finish with a 15-year color warranty. Fiber cement is fire-resistant, rot-proof, and resists woodpecker damage — a real issue in the Tri-Cities foothills.
We install HardiePlank lap siding, HardieShingle, HardiePanel, and HardieTrim to manufacturer specs for full warranty coverage.
Best for: Homeowners who want a premium, long-lasting exterior with superior durability and the look of painted wood without the upkeep.
Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide)
LP SmartSide is manufactured from wood strands treated with zinc borate to protect against termites, fungal decay, and moisture — all concerns for East Tennessee homes. It looks and feels more like real wood than vinyl or fiber cement, takes paint well, and costs less than fiber cement while outperforming natural wood.
Best for: Homeowners who want a genuine wood appearance with built-in moisture and pest protection at a mid-range price point.
Board and Batten Siding
Board and batten is a vertical siding profile that creates a dimensional, architectural look — popular on modern farmhouse, craftsman, and contemporary homes across the Tri-Cities. Available in vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood, we install it as a full-home application or as an accent on gable ends and entryways.
Custom Siding Features and Add-Ons
New siding is more than just the wall panels. The trim, transitions, and accessory components are what give a finished exterior its polished look — and what protect the vulnerable points where water and air infiltration actually occur. We handle every component of the exterior envelope, not just the siding boards themselves.
Soffit and Fascia — Soffit covers the underside of your roof overhang and provides ventilation to your attic. Fascia is the vertical board that runs along the roofline and supports the bottom row of shingles and your gutters. Both are constantly exposed to moisture and UV, and both deteriorate alongside aging siding. We replace soffit and fascia in vinyl and aluminum to match your new siding — properly vented, properly sealed, and color-matched to the rest of the exterior.
House Wrap and Weather Barrier — Behind every siding installation we do, we install or replace the house wrap — the moisture-resistant barrier between your sheathing and your siding. This is the layer that actually stops water infiltration when it gets behind the panels. Many older East Tennessee homes were built with felt paper or no weather barrier at all. Installing a proper modern house wrap during a siding replacement dramatically improves your home’s moisture management and energy performance.
Window and Door Trim — The transitions around every window and door opening are the most common entry points for moisture. We install and replace exterior trim, J-channel, and flashing at every opening to manufacturer spec. A siding job that doesn’t address the trim and flashing details is a siding job that will fail early.
Siding Repair and Partial Replacement — If your siding is mostly in good shape but you have storm damage, impact damage, or isolated sections that have failed, we can repair or replace affected areas rather than doing a full tear-off. We work to match your existing siding profile and color as closely as possible. We’ll tell you upfront if an exact match isn’t achievable so you can make an informed decision before any work starts.
Storm Damage Documentation — East Tennessee weather is hard on siding. After significant hail, wind events, or storm damage, we assess your exterior and provide written documentation of the damage and scope of repair needed — the same documentation your insurance adjuster will require to process a claim.
WHY I & G CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Why Tri-Cities Homeowners Choose I&G Construction
There’s no shortage of contractors in the Tri-Cities area. Here’s why homeowners choose to work with us over the alternatives:
Locally Owned and Operated
We’re based in Johnson City and serve the Tri-Cities area exclusively. We’re not a franchise, not a national chain, and not a crew driving in from Knoxville or Charlotte. We live here. We shop at the same stores you do. When we tell you we know the soil conditions in Washington County or the building code process in Kingsport, it’s because we’ve actually dealt with them — not because we read about them online.
Fully Insured
We carry full general liability insurance on every project. Your home and property are protected while we work. We’ll provide a certificate of insurance before any work begins — you don’t even have to ask.
No Subcontractors
When you hire I&G Construction, our crew shows up. We don’t pass your project off to subcontractors you’ve never met. You’ll see the same faces on day one that you see on the final walkthrough. That consistency is how we maintain quality control across every project.
Free On-Site Estimates
We come to your property, take measurements, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed written estimate — free of charge, no obligation. Our estimates are itemized so you can see exactly what you’re paying for: materials, labor, permits, and timeline. No hidden fees, no vague “starting at” pricing.
Honest Communication From Start to Finish
We tell you what the project will cost, how long it will take, and what to expect — before any work starts. If something changes during the project, you’ll hear about it immediately, not on the invoice. We believe the best business relationships are built on straightforward communication, and that’s how we operate on every single job.

HOW IT WORKS
Our Siding Installation Process
Here’s what to expect when you work with I&G Construction Services.
1
Free On-Site Assessment
We inspect your home’s current siding condition, measure the exterior surfaces, discuss material options, and provide a detailed written estimate. If your current siding can be repaired rather than fully replaced, we’ll tell you — even if it means a smaller project for us.
2
Material Selection and Planning
We help you choose the right siding material, profile, and color for your home. We bring samples when possible and discuss how different materials perform in East Tennessee’s specific climate conditions. Once you make your selection, we order materials and schedule your project.
3
Tear-Off and Inspection
We remove your existing siding and inspect the sheathing, house wrap, and flashing underneath. If we find rot, moisture damage, or missing moisture barrier — we address it before any new siding goes up. This step is critical. Putting new siding over damaged sheathing or missing house wrap is the single most common shortcut we see from other contractors, and it guarantees problems down the road.
4
Preparation and Weather Barrier
We repair or replace any damaged sheathing, install new house wrap if needed, and ensure proper flashing around all windows, doors, and wall penetrations. This moisture management system is what actually protects your home — the siding is the outer layer, but the weather barrier behind it is the real defense.
5
Siding Installation
Our crew installs your new siding, soffit, fascia, and trim following manufacturer specifications. Proper installation includes correct fastener placement, appropriate overlap, expansion gap allowances for temperature movement, and precise cuts around windows, doors, and utilities. We follow manufacturer guidelines because your warranty depends on correct installation.
6
Final Inspection and Cleanup
We walk the finished exterior with you, checking every wall, every trim detail, and every transition point. We clean the jobsite completely — removing all old siding, debris, packaging, and fasteners from your property. We don’t consider a project done until you’re satisfied and the site is clean.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Siding FAQ for Tri-Cities Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners in Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and surrounding areas.
Siding costs depend on your home’s total exterior square footage, the material you choose, and the complexity of the installation (number of windows, doors, corners, and trim details). As general ranges for the Tri-Cities market: vinyl siding runs approximately $4 to $8 per square foot installed, fiber cement siding ranges from $8 to $14 per square foot installed, and engineered wood falls between $6 and $11 per square foot installed. A typical full-home siding replacement in the Tri-Cities ranges from $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on home size and material selection. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing.
All the siding types we install perform well in East Tennessee when installed correctly with proper moisture management. Vinyl is the most affordable and the most maintenance-free. Fiber cement (James Hardie) offers the best overall durability, fire resistance, and resistance to humidity-related issues — it’s the premium choice. Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) offers a genuine wood appearance with built-in protection against moisture and termites. The best choice depends on your budget, your aesthetic preferences, and how long you plan to stay in the home.
A full siding replacement on an average-sized Tri-Cities home typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Larger homes, homes with complex trim details, or projects that require significant sheathing repair underneath may take longer. Weather can also affect the timeline — we don’t install siding in rain. We provide a clear timeline estimate before work begins.
In many cases, yes. We work to match the profile, color, and style of your current siding as closely as possible. Exact color matches depend on the age and manufacturer of your existing siding — some older colors and profiles have been discontinued. We’ll let you know upfront whether a close match is achievable or if a section replacement with a complementary product makes more sense.
In most cases, yes — especially if your current siding is old, damaged, or was installed without proper house wrap and flashing. New siding with a fresh moisture barrier and insulated options can reduce air infiltration and improve your home’s thermal envelope. Some siding products, like insulated vinyl siding, include built-in foam backing that adds R-value directly to the wall assembly.
