Siding Replacement Designed for Connecticut Homes
Connecticut has no shortage of siding contractors, and sorting through estimates, materials, and sales pitches can turn a straightforward project into a drawn-out headache. If you're at the stage where you just want someone to help you figure out what your house actually needs, that's a conversation Burr Custom Exteriors has been having with Connecticut homeowners since 1969.
Fiber cement often comes up early in that conversation, and our James Hardie Elite Preferred status carries real weight. Our installers complete ongoing James Hardie training, follow the manufacturer's requirements closely, and meet James Hardie's qualification and review process in addition to what we tell you ourselves. We choose every material and detail to protect your investment and keep your home looking its best for decades.
More Than a Tear-Off and Reinstall
Your siding has one job in the summer, and a vastly different one come January, and Connecticut homeowners need it to handle both. That’s why we focus on complete installations and whole-house replacements, including the trim, soffit, and fascia work that properly finishes an exterior. Whether you're updating an older home, working through a larger renovation, or installing siding on new construction, we're with you from the first decision to the last detail.
A full replacement is a separate conversation. Once your current siding has reached the end of its life, the goal shifts to addressing performance and appearance at the same time. We’ll remove the old material, prepare what's underneath, and install the replacement with close attention to trim and transitions, so the finished exterior looks unified. And none of that holds together without trim, soffit, and fascia, so we plan for them from the start. Treated as one project instead of four separate ones, that's how a tear-off turns into an exterior you're proud of.
Siding Materials for Connecticut Homes
Connecticut homes deal with moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and, if you're close to the shoreline, salt air layered on top of everything else. Burr offers two primary siding options for Connecticut homes: James Hardie fiber cement and cedar shake. We help homeowners compare these materials based on architecture, maintenance preferences, exposure, and the overall exterior design.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement is popular among Connecticut homeowners who want a traditional siding look without constant upkeep. It resists moisture, rot, and insects, which makes it a solid match for New England's unpredictable seasons.
As a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, we install these products to the manufacturer's specifications. That's not just a formality. It directly affects how long your siding lasts and if your warranty coverage applies down the road.
Cedar Shake Siding
Cedar shake has deep roots in New England architecture, and it's still a favorite for homeowners who love the warmth and natural variation you only get with solid wood. We offer cedar for anyone drawn to that traditional coastal look.
Installing cedar takes specific know-how, since wood responds to humidity and temperature in ways other materials don't. Spacing and fastening decisions during installation affect performance, and a little ongoing maintenance helps preserve its appearance.

How We Move Your Project Forward
A siding project touches your entire exterior, so it helps to know what happens between your initial phone call and the day we wrap up. We keep the process simple, with a dedicated project manager and a team that stays accountable to you the whole way through.
Consultation
We don't put together recommendations from a distance. One of our design consultants will visit your home, inspect your current siding up close, and flag anything worth factoring into the plan from the beginning.
Recommendation
Once we understand what you're hoping to accomplish, we’ll put together a detailed proposal. You'll see the materials we recommend, the design direction we suggest, and what the project involves overall.
Installation
Our technicians will prep your exterior and install the new system with care around manufacturer requirements, trim details, and tight transitions. Your project manager will also keep you posted as the project progresses.
Support
The relationship doesn't end when our crew packs up their tools. Manufacturer warranties apply to qualifying products, and we back our own installation with coverage on top of that, giving you long-term peace of mind.
That mix of careful planning, honest communication, skilled installation, and follow-through after we leave is what we mean by “Life Improving Home Improvement.”
Why Choose Burr Custom Exteriors?
As a second-generation, family-owned company, we've spent more than five decades remodeling Connecticut homes. Our experience with James Hardie siding, cedar, trim details, and full exterior projects shapes how we plan each siding replacement, while past customers' experiences speak to what it's like to work with our team. Visit our reviews page to hear directly from homeowners we’ve partnered with, including several who've hired us more than once.
We also know a whole-house siding replacement is a significant investment. That's why we offer financing options for homeowners who'd rather spread the cost out over time instead of putting off a project because of timing alone. Paired with manufacturer and workmanship warranty coverage, these options give you more room to plan the project on your own terms.
