Siding Experts Serving Central Maryland Since 2004
Nothing changes the way a home looks, feels, and performs like new siding. It is the finish people see from the street, the shell that keeps weather out of your walls, and a meaningful piece of your home's insulation story. Tar Heel Construction Group has been installing siding across Harford County and Central Maryland for more than 20 years, and we bring the same standard to it that made us Baltimore's Best three years running: installed clean, installed square, and installed once.
We are a family owned company based in Bel Air with a BBB A+ rating, the BBB Torch Award for Ethics, and 800+ reviews rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Two of the reviews on our reviews page are siding customers, including a 130 year old farmhouse that kept its charm and a wind damaged home our crew wrapped, sided, and left meticulous. That is not an accident. Siding is detail work, and details are what we hire for.
Vinyl Siding: The Workhorse of Maryland Neighborhoods
Modern vinyl siding has come a long way from the wavy panels of the 1990s. Today's premium vinyl holds color for decades, shrugs off Maryland humidity, and never needs paint. It is the best value in exterior remodeling, full stop:
- Dozens of colors and profiles, from classic clapboard to shakes and board and batten accents
- Insulated vinyl options that stiffen panels and add real R value
- No painting, no staining, just an occasional rinse
- The strongest cost to curb appeal ratio of any exterior upgrade
James Hardie: Premium Looks, Serious Durability
For homeowners who want the crisp, painted wood look with none of the rot, James Hardie siding is the premium play. It is dense, dimensionally stable, resistant to impact and fire, and it holds paint beautifully. On older homes and higher end remodels, James Hardie trim and lap siding deliver a finish that vinyl cannot quite match. We install both, and we will show you the tradeoffs honestly instead of steering you at the highest ticket.
What Clean and Square Actually Means
Anyone can nail panels to a wall. The difference between siding that looks sharp for 30 years and siding that oil cans, gaps, and buckles is everything you cannot see from the curb:
The Wall Behind the Wall
Old siding comes off and we inspect the sheathing underneath. Soft spots, hidden rot, and old water damage get fixed now, not wrapped up and hidden. House wrap goes on properly lapped and taped so water that ever gets behind the siding drains out instead of into your framing.
Insulation Where It Counts
Residing is the one moment you can insulate your walls from the outside without touching the drywall. Insulation board flattens imperfect walls, breaks thermal bridging through the studs, quiets road noise, and takes real weight off your heating and cooling bills. Our 130 year old farmhouse project got exactly this treatment, and the owner could not be happier with the outcome. Drag the before and after sliders in our portfolio to see transformations like it.
Straight Lines and Tight Details
Panels locked and nailed to manufacturer spec, seams staggered and planned around sight lines, J channel cut clean around every window, and trim, soffit, and fascia finished so the whole elevation reads as one crisp surface. Then a full magnetic sweep and haul away, because meticulous cleanup is a Tar Heel signature.
Storm Damaged Siding and Insurance Work
Wind rips panels loose and hail cracks and holes vinyl on the storm facing side of homes constantly in our region. If your siding took a hit, our storm damage team documents everything, helps you understand whether a claim makes sense, and handles the matching conversation with your carrier. Discontinued colors and profiles are common on older siding, and knowing how carriers handle matching is half the battle. We restore siding and roofs together on the same claim all the time, one team and one schedule.
The Sales Experience You Will Actually Enjoy
No three hour kitchen table lockdowns and no tonight only pricing. A local project manager, not a commissioned closer, walks your home with you, brings real samples you can hold against your brick and trim in daylight, and leaves you a written estimate with good, better, and best options. Not sure how to judge a quote? Our guide to reading a siding estimate breaks it down. Flexible financing with fast approval is available, and promotional plans are often running. Compare us to anyone. That confidence is why we were voted Baltimore's Best for siding and exteriors work three years straight.
