Fiber-cement and engineered siding installed to manufacturer spec to take Golden's Clear Creek Canyon wind, foothills hail, and high-altitude UV.

Family-owned · Licensed & insured · 4.9★ from 150+ Front Range reviews · Owens Corning Platinum Preferred

Golden's location against the foothills decides how long siding actually lasts here. The high-altitude UV is stronger, so it chalks paint and dries out old wood and composite siding faster than the chart says, while the gap at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon channels strong downslope and Chinook winds that strip loose boards and drive rain behind anything that isn't fastened and flashed correctly. Add the foothills hail that regularly clips this stretch of the Front Range, and the original siding on a lot of Golden houses is aging out ahead of schedule. CR Custom Exteriors is a family-owned contractor based up the road in Erie, and we've worked these exact conditions for more than ten years.

That's why we steer Golden homeowners toward fiber-cement and engineered siding rather than the materials these houses were often built with. From the older brick and clapboard in Downtown / Historic Golden to the wind-exposed lots in Golden Heights and Eagle Ridge and the newer builds out in Mesa Meadows and Stonebridge at Fossil Trace, the right product and the right install change house to house. We do manufacturer-spec installation with extensive color options, optional energy-efficiency upgrades, and long-term manufacturer warranties, and we back it with a 4.9-star rating across 150+ Google reviews and honest, no-pressure free estimates.

Spec'd for canyon wind and hail

Golden's downslope and Chinook winds out of Clear Creek Canyon pry at loose siding, and foothills hail dents and cracks it. We install impact-resistant fiber-cement and engineered siding fastened and flashed to manufacturer spec so it holds up to the wind uplift and impact this town actually sees.

Built to beat high-altitude UV

At Golden's elevation against the foothills the sun chalks paint and degrades old wood and vinyl on south- and west-facing walls. Fiber-cement and engineered siding hold their factory color far longer, with extensive color options and the chance to add insulation for lower heating bills.

Right approach for every Golden home

Historic clapboard in Downtown / Historic Golden, wind-exposed homes in Golden Heights and Eagle Ridge, and newer builds in Mesa Meadows and Stonebridge at Fossil Trace all need a different plan. We match the product, profile, and detailing to each home's age and exposure instead of running one template across town.

Common questions

What does new siding cost on a Golden home?
Every project is priced individually by square footage, material (fiber-cement or engineered), and how much trim and detailing the home needs. Wind- and hail-exposed houses up toward Golden Heights and the foothills often need extra flashing and fastening, which we'll spell out in a written line-item quote after a free in-home estimate. No ballpark numbers and no high-pressure sales.
Will siding hold up to Clear Creek Canyon wind and foothills hail?
That's exactly what we install for. Fiber-cement and engineered siding are far more impact- and wind-resistant than the wood, composite, or older vinyl on many Golden homes, and we fasten and flash to manufacturer spec so the wind funneling out of the canyon can't work boards loose. If hail or a storm damaged your existing siding, we can inspect it and document the damage properly for an insurance claim.
Do I need a permit, and how long does a Golden siding job take?
Full siding replacement typically requires a permit, and we pull all required permits and handle the jurisdiction so you don't have to. Most homes complete in about one to two weeks depending on size, exposure, and weather. We give you a timeline at contract signing and keep you updated through demo and install.
