What Siding Should I Put on My North Dakota Home?
It depends on your budget and how much maintenance you want to sign up for. We install vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement (including James Hardie), and LP SmartSide engineered wood. Each one earns its place, and each has trade-offs.
Vinyl
is the budget-friendly workhorse. It never needs painting, shrugs off moisture, and comes in a huge range of colors. The trade-off: it’s the thinnest material we install, so extreme cold can make it brittle and hail leaves more of a mark.
Insulated vinyl
adds a layer of rigid foam bonded to the back of each panel. That means a warmer house in January, a quieter house year-round, and panels that resist hail and dents noticeably better than standard vinyl. It costs more, but ND winters give that money back over time.
Fiber cement (James Hardie)
looks like real wood, doesn’t burn, doesn’t rot, and takes hail better than anything else we install. It’s the most durable siding we offer and holds its color for decades. The trade-offs are a higher price tag and a heavier product that demands proper installation, which is exactly why installer choice matters.
LP SmartSide engineered wood
gives you the warm look of wood without wood’s problems. It’s treated against rot and insects, handles cold-weather, and carries one of the strongest warranties in the industry. It does need repainting eventually, like any wood-look product.

Did the Last Hailstorm Damage Your Siding Too?
Probably. The same hail and high-plains wind that damage Bismarck roofs routinely crack, dent, and puncture siding on the same side of the house. The good news: it’s often one insurance claim, and we handle both.
Siding damage is easy to miss from the driveway. Hail leaves half-moon cracks in vinyl, dents and chipped coating on other materials. And wind can loosen panels that look fine until the next storm peels them off. Insurance companies pay attention to this damage, but only if it’s documented properly and on time.
Here’s where working with one local contractor pays off. Instead of a roofer pointing at your siding and saying “call somebody,” we inspect the whole exterior, document everything in one report, and coordinate the full scope with your adjuster. One claim, one crew, one point of contact. If your home took storm damage this season, start with a free inspection or read more about how we handle storm damage roof repair.
Insurance claims have deadlines. Don’t let the clock run out on damage you haven’t found yet.
How Do I Know It's Time for New Siding?
Walk around your house and look for cracked or warped panels, faded or chalky color, soft spots, peeling paint inside the house, and heating bills that keep creeping up. Any of these means it’s worth a free siding inspection.
Some problems are cosmetic. Others mean water is getting behind the siding, and that’s the one you can’t ignore. Moisture trapped against the wall leads to rot and mold you won’t see until it’s expensive.
When repair makes sense: damage limited to one small area, siding that’s otherwise in good shape, and matching panels still available.
When replacement makes sense: widespread cracking or warping, moisture getting behind the panels, siding so old the color can’t be matched, or hail damage across whole walls. If insurance is covering storm damage, replacement is often the smarter path anyway.
We’ll tell you which one your home actually needs. If a $400 repair solves it, that’s what we’ll recommend.
What Happens During a Siding Replacement?
It’s simpler than most homeowners expect: a free estimate, a design session to pick your material and color, then usually three to five days of work for an average home. We tear off the old siding, fix what’s underneath, and install the new one.
Step by step:
- Free estimate. We measure, inspect, and give you options in writing.
- Material and color selection. Real samples, at your house, in your light.
- Tear-off. Old siding comes down and we inspect the walls underneath. This is where hidden rot gets found and fixed, not covered up.
- Moisture barrier and insulation. The layer that keeps ND weather out and your heat in.
- Installation. Panels, trim, and detailing around windows and doors.
- Cleanup and walkthrough. Magnetic sweep for nails, haul-away, and a final walk with you.
- Warranty delivery. Your manufacturer and workmanship coverage, in writing.
You don’t need to be home during the work, and we protect landscaping and keep the site clean every day.
How Much Does New Siding Cost in Bismarck?
For most Bismarck homes, a full siding replacement lands somewhere between $12,000 and $35,000. That’s a wide range because the price depends on a lot of things.
Here’s what moves the number:
Home size is the biggest factor. Siding is priced by the area covered, so a two-story home costs more than a rambler with the same footprint.
Material choice is the lever you control most. Standard vinyl sits at the affordable end. Insulated vinyl runs more. Fiber cement and LP SmartSide cost the most upfront but last the longest and handle hail the best.
Trim and details add up on homes with lots of corners, gables, and windows.
Insulation and moisture barrier upgrades cost more on install day and pay you back every winter on the heating bill.
If a storm caused the damage, insurance may cover most or all of the project, which changes the math completely. Either way, the only number that matters is the one for your house.

Will New Siding Actually Lower My Heating Bills?
Yes, if it’s done right. Old, cracked siding lets wind drive cold air into your walls. New siding with a proper moisture barrier and insulated panels seals the house, and homeowners typically notice the difference during the first winter, both in comfort and on the bill.
North Dakota is hard on a house exterior in ways milder states never see. Temperature swings of 60 degrees in a week make cheap materials expand, contract, and crack. Snow piles against the bottom courses of siding for months. Spring melt tests every seam around your windows and doors.
That’s why we build for this climate specifically: insulated panels that add a real layer of warmth to your walls, a continuous moisture barrier so melting snow never reaches the wood underneath, and materials rated for extreme cold so panels don’t turn brittle in January. Your siding is your home’s winter coat. In Bismarck, it should be a good one.
Can I Finance a Siding Project?
Yes, and more easily than most homeowners expect. Wegner offers 0% interest for 6 years, no-money-down and no-out-of-pocket programs, and a Price Beat Guarantee. New siding doesn’t have to wait for a savings account to catch up.
- 0% interest for 6 years financing available
- No money down / no out-of-pocket programs
- Price Beat Guarantee
- Free estimates, always
Ask about financing when you call. It takes a few minutes to see what you qualify for.
What Warranty Comes With New Siding?
Two layers of protection. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the product itself: James Hardie and LP SmartSide both back their siding for decades against defects. On top of that, Wegner’s workmanship warranty covers the installation. If it was installed wrong, we fix it. Period.
That second layer matters more than most homeowners realize. Manufacturer warranties can be voided by poor installation, so the crew putting your siding on is protecting your product coverage too. You get both warranties in writing at the final walkthrough.
Why Choose Wegner for Siding in Bismarck?
Because we’re the local, licensed contractor who can handle your whole exterior, not just one piece of it. Family-owned since 2011, ND licensed and insured, hundreds of five-star reviews, and ranked #58 among the Top 100 roofing contractors in the country.
Our exterior crews live and work here, which means they know what a Burleigh County winter does to a house and they’ll still be in town when your warranty needs honoring. And when a storm hits both your roof and your siding, you don’t need two contractors and two headaches. One local company handles the inspection, the claim documentation, and both projects.
If your roof needs attention too, start with your Bismarck roofing contractor and we’ll look at everything in one visit. We also install windows and gutters, so the whole exterior can be handled under one roof.
Where Do You Install Siding?
Our crews are based at 533 Airport Road in south Bismarck and work across the metro daily. We cross the river to Mandan constantly, where river-valley wind is brutal on older siding, and serve the newer neighborhoods in Lincoln just southeast of town.
North along Highway 83, we take on projects in Wilton and Washburn, and we head west to Hazen regularly.
If you’re anywhere in Burleigh County or the surrounding area, we’ll come take a look. Rural properties are welcome. Farmhouses and shops take hail the same as everything else out here.
What Bismarck Homeowners Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Siding
How much does new siding cost in Bismarck?
Most full siding replacements in the Bismarck area run between $12,000 and $35,000, depending on home size, material, trim detail, and insulation. Storm damage covered by insurance changes the math entirely. A free estimate gives you the exact number for your home.
What's the best siding for North Dakota winters?
Insulated vinyl, fiber cement, and LP SmartSide all perform well here. Insulated vinyl adds warmth, fiber cement is the most durable against hail, and LP SmartSide balances wood looks with cold-weather toughness. The best fit depends on your budget.
Does insurance cover hail-damaged siding?
Often yes, especially when the same storm damages your roof. The key is thorough documentation and filing before your claim window closes. We inspect the whole exterior, document roof and siding damage together, and coordinate with your adjuster on one claim.
Vinyl or fiber cement: which should I choose?
Vinyl costs less and never needs painting, but hail hits it harder. Fiber cement costs more upfront and handles hail, fire, and rot better while holding its look for decades. If you plan to stay in the home long-term, fiber cement usually wins.
How long does siding last in North Dakota?
It varies by material. Quality vinyl typically lasts 20 to 30 years, while fiber cement and LP SmartSide can go 30 to 50 with basic upkeep. Hail is the wildcard here, which is why impact resistance is worth weighing when you choose.
Can you repair or replace my siding and roof at the same time?
Yes, and it’s often the smarter way to do it. One local contractor, one schedule, and when a storm caused the damage, frequently one insurance claim. We inspect both, document everything together, and coordinate the full project so you’re not juggling two companies.
