Residential Siding Installation in Northern Michigan

Exterior siding plays an important role in the appearance and protection of your home. Proper installation helps create a reliable exterior barrier while improving the overall character of the property.

Complete siding replacement

Each siding project is planned around the structure, existing exterior conditions and the homeowner’s preferences for appearance, performance and maintenance.

Siding Replacement for Existing Homes

Older siding can fade, crack, loosen or deteriorate after years of exposure to Northern Michigan weather. Damaged siding may also allow moisture to reach the materials underneath, potentially affecting the long-term condition of the home.

Replacing worn exterior siding can refresh the appearance of your property while creating an opportunity to inspect and address underlying exterior concerns. Bartholomew Construction can remove aging siding, prepare the exterior and install a new siding system with careful attention to details around windows, doors, corners and rooflines.

Siding for New Homes and Home Additions

Exterior siding is one of the most visible design elements of a newly constructed home. The siding profile, color, texture and trim details all contribute to the finished character of the property.

Bartholomew Construction installs siding for new homes, additions, garages and other residential structures. When siding a home addition, we work to create a consistent transition between the existing house and the new construction.

Our siding installation services can be coordinated with roofing, windows, exterior doors, decks, porches and other parts of a larger construction or remodeling project.

Exterior Siding Options

Different siding materials offer different combinations of appearance, durability and maintenance. We can help homeowners consider siding options based on the style of the property, surrounding landscape and level of upkeep they prefer.

Exterior siding options may include:

Vinyl siding
Engineered wood siding
Traditional wood siding
Fiber-cement siding
Vertical board-and-batten siding
Horizontal lap siding
Shake and shingle-style siding accents
Mixed siding styles and exterior details

Material availability and suitability can vary by project. Our team can discuss appropriate options and help you choose an exterior finish that complements your home.

Vinyl and Low-Maintenance Siding

Vinyl siding is a popular choice for Northern Michigan homes because it is available in many colors and profiles while requiring relatively little routine maintenance. It does not need to be painted and can provide a clean, consistent appearance for homes, cottages and garages.

Other engineered and composite products may offer the appearance of traditional materials with reduced maintenance requirements. Selecting the right product can help balance the desired appearance with long-term care and performance.

Wood and Engineered Wood Siding

Wood siding provides a natural appearance that works especially well with wooded, rural and waterfront properties. Horizontal boards, vertical siding and shingle-style details can create a traditional Northern Michigan look.

Engineered wood siding offers a similar visual character while being manufactured for improved consistency and durability. Proper installation, finishing and ongoing maintenance are important considerations when selecting natural or engineered wood products.

Siding Designed for Northern Michigan Weather

Northern Michigan homes experience snow, ice, rain, wind, summer sunlight and repeated freezing and thawing. Exterior siding must be installed with these seasonal conditions in mind.

Proper flashing, moisture management, fastening and attention to openings and transitions are essential parts of a dependable siding installation. Bartholomew Construction brings local construction experience to every project, helping create exterior systems suited to Northern Michigan’s climate.

Soffit, Fascia and Exterior Trim

A complete exterior siding project often involves more than the siding itself. Soffit, fascia, corner boards and trim around windows and doors contribute to both the appearance and performance of the finished exterior.

Bartholomew Construction can incorporate new exterior trim, soffit and fascia into siding replacement and installation projects. These finishing details help create a cohesive appearance while protecting important transitions around the home.

Siding for Cottages, Garages and Pole Barns

In addition to residential homes, we install exterior siding on cottages, detached garages, workshops, pole barns and other structures. New siding can help coordinate additional buildings with the home or give an older structure a cleaner, more finished appearance.

Whether your project involves one building or several structures across the property, we can help develop an exterior approach that fits the setting.

I hired Trevor in April of 2024 to rebuild the exterior of a house in Gaylord that had sat vacant for 30 years. The house was way worse than either of us had imagined initially. His team persisted and never comprised the quality of work. They are all very experienced carpenters and take pride in doing the job right. We ended up having to reassess the costs and plan several times. He rebuilt large portions of the house framing. Replaced all the windows and doors. Rebuilt the decks and installed all the new metal siding. Thank You for taking on a project that daunted others and making sure it was completed. Here are a few before, during and afters.

Trevor and his crew built us a beautiful pole barn and we love it. Trevor's attention to detail and pride in his work are top notch. They worked in the most bitter cold as well as the sweltering heat. His electricians and concrete people were great. All of the people involved with building our barn were skilled, pleasant and fun to be around. We could have gone with a lower bid but we are so glad we didn't. You get what you pay for! I hope we have the chance to hire Trevor again. We won't hesitate to call him. Plus, they liked my cookies and sandwiches! :) Thank you Trevor and crew.

Trevor and crew have framed a couple of houses for me and found him to be honest , pay attention to detail and keep a clean site. I found minimal waste of material and ability to communicate and understand what I was looking for. I’d recommend Trevor and crew if your willing to work with schedule as the good contractors are extremely busy and hard get. Ron Turner - Home Town Builders Inc.
