Learn MoreFrom Call to Completion
{We start with a free visit to your Franklin property — no pressure, no sales pitch. One of our experienced estimators walks the perimeter, checks the current exterior condition, takes measurements, and listens to what you want from the project. You'll get a clear, itemized written estimate that breaks down material, labor, and any prep work needed.
Most estimates are completed in a single visit of 30 to 60 minutes. If we spot anything unexpected — moisture damage, deteriorated sheathing, or problem areas around windows — we'll flag it honestly so there are no surprises on installation day. Our goal at this stage is information, not a signature.
Once you've reviewed the estimate and have questions answered, we help you select the right material for your home and budget. Whether you're choosing between vinyl profiles, weighing the value of insulated backing, or comparing fiber cement to engineered wood, we give you honest guidance based on what we've seen hold up in Franklin, KY's conditions.
Scheduling is handled around your availability. We give you a firm installation window, order your materials in advance, and confirm everything before the crew shows up. You won't be left wondering when we're coming — clear communication is part of how we work.
On installation day, our crew arrives on time, sets up site protection for your landscaping and walkways, and gets straight to work. Old siding is removed methodically, the sheathing is inspected, and any substrate issues are addressed before new material goes up. We work to manufacturer specifications so your product warranty stays fully intact.
Throughout the day, a lead installer oversees the work and is available to answer questions. We don't rush through tricky areas like window flanges and corner returns — those spots require patience and precision, and that's exactly what they get from our team.
Before we pack up, we do a complete walkthrough of the finished exterior with you. We check panel alignment, trim seams, corner consistency, and every area that was worked. If you spot something that doesn't look right, we address it on the spot — not weeks later.
We clean the site completely, dispose of all old siding material, and leave your property better than we found it. You'll receive documentation for your warranty registration and a direct contact for any follow-up. The goal is that you feel completely confident in the work before we call the job done.
What You Should Know
Understanding what separates a lasting siding installation from a problematic one starts with what's behind the panels. At SOS Roofing and Siding, we inspect every substrate before installation begins on any Franklin job. Rotted sheathing, insufficient house wrap coverage, and improperly flashed windows are the most common root causes of siding failures — and they're all detectable before installation starts if you know what to look for.
When the sheathing checks out, the next layer is the water-resistive barrier — commonly called house wrap or building wrap. This membrane is what actually manages moisture intrusion if any water gets past the siding panels. It has to be lapped correctly, taped at all seams, and integrated properly with flashing at windows and doors. A house wrap installed in a hurry or without proper taping at penetrations is nearly as useless as no house wrap at all.
Trim and corner work matters more than most homeowners realize. The J-channel where siding meets a window, the corner posts at building corners, and the soffit returns all determine how the finished installation looks and how water behaves at the most vulnerable points. Rushing through trim work produces crooked reveals, gaps that collect moisture, and panels that eventually buckle because expansion gaps weren't maintained.
Most manufacturer warranties on siding products are contingent on proper installation, and proper installation means following the manufacturer's printed installation guide to the letter. When installers deviate from those specs — wrong nail patterns, insufficient fastener depth, missing starter strips — the warranty can be voided even if the product itself is high quality. Every installation SOS Roofing and Siding completes is done to manufacturer spec so that warranty coverage stays fully intact for Franklin homeowners.
On the day of your installation, here's what the experience looks like from a homeowner's perspective: the crew arrives, introduces the lead installer, and walks you through what will happen. Your landscaping is covered or protected before removal begins. Old panels and materials are loaded into a container or truck throughout the day so debris doesn't accumulate on your lawn. You can come and go freely — most homeowners don't need to be present the entire time, though you're welcome to check in any time.
