Boulder is hard on the outside of a house in ways a flatland city never is. Tucked against the foothills, homes here catch downslope Chinook winds that drive rain sideways behind old wood siding, intense high-altitude UV that fades and chalks south-facing walls, and the same Front Range hail that cracks brittle panels and shows up later as warped, water-stained trim. The city's housing widens the range of problems: older homes in Mapleton Hill, Whittier, and Newlands often still wear aging wood siding, while the newer builds out in Gunbarrel and North Boulder hit the age where builder-grade cladding starts to fail all at once.

That is exactly where new siding earns its keep. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned, Erie-based contractor with over a decade of experience on the Front Range, and we install fiber-cement and engineered siding specifically chosen to survive Boulder's freeze-thaw cycles, hail impact, and relentless sun rather than a mild coastal climate. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor we do manufacturer-spec installation with extensive color options and energy-efficiency upgrades, so your home looks right against the Flatirons and is backed by a long-term manufacturer warranty. Free in-home estimates, real local crews, and no storm-chaser pressure.

Built for foothill wind and hail

Boulder sits where downslope Chinook winds barrel off the Flatirons and hail rolls in off the mountains. We install hail-impact and freeze-thaw-rated fiber-cement and engineered siding fastened for the wind uplift this stretch of the foothills actually sees, not generic flatland spec.

Color that survives Boulder's UV

High-altitude sun fades and chalks ordinary siding fast on south- and west-facing walls. We install factory-finished color systems engineered for UV fade resistance, with extensive color options to match anything from a Mapleton Hill home to a North Boulder new build.

Warranty-safe, manufacturer-spec install

As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, we install to the manufacturer's specification so your siding qualifies for its long-term factory warranty, plus our own workmanship warranty. We match the material and method to the home, whether it's a home in Table Mesa or an older one in Whittier.

Common questions

What does siding replacement cost in Boulder?
Cost depends on the size of the home, how many stories, the material you choose (fiber-cement versus engineered or vinyl), and what we find once old cladding comes off, since Boulder's older Mapleton Hill, Whittier, and Newlands homes sometimes hide rotted sheathing or moisture damage behind aging wood siding. Energy-efficiency upgrades like added house wrap or insulation also factor in. We give an honest, itemized price in your free in-home estimate before any work begins.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover hail-damaged siding?
Most Colorado homeowner policies cover hail as a named peril, and Boulder's foothill position funnels some of the strongest storms in the county. Whether your claim pays actual cash value or replacement cost depends on your specific policy. We document all damage with photos that are useful for your claim, but we don't negotiate with insurers or guarantee approval. Contact your insurer directly to open a claim.
Do I need a permit, and how long does a siding job take?
Siding replacement in the city of Boulder typically requires a permit, and homes in historic districts like Mapleton Hill can carry extra design review. We pull the required permits and coordinate inspections with your jurisdiction. Most single-family installs run a few days to about two weeks depending on size, material, and weather, and we schedule the work around your calendar.
