From new construction cladding to emergency storm repairs, Forge Siding delivers field-tested Siding across Fort Washington and the surrounding MD service area. Call today for a free on-site estimate.
Forge Siding has been handling Siding projects across Fort Washington, MD for over fifteen years. Our lead installers carry manufacturer certifications on every major cladding system we work with — fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood, steel — and our crews don't sub out the skilled work to whoever's available that day. The same team that estimates your job is the team that executes it.
We work on everything from single-family homes in residential neighborhoods to commercial cladding on multi-family buildings and light industrial structures across MD. If it involves protecting a building's exterior envelope, we have the tools, the certifications, and the track record to handle it properly.
Licensed, bonded, and carrying full general liability plus workers' compensation in MD — not because it's optional, but because those protections matter for homeowners who invite a crew onto their property. Ask for our certificate of insurance before signing anything; we provide it without hesitation.
Most siding problems start small and quiet — a missed fastener, a failed caulk joint, a crack that looks cosmetic. By the time interior moisture damage appears, the repair scope has usually doubled. Watch for these early signals.
Cracked panels aren't just cosmetic — they're open invitations for moisture infiltration. Any crack that reaches through the panel face needs attention.
Water staining on drywall near exterior walls is one of the clearest indicators of a failed building envelope. By the time interior damage is visible, moisture has usually been active behind the cladding for weeks or months.
Warped vinyl often means panels were installed too tight — no expansion room for thermal movement. Over time, buckling creates gap points where panels separate at the lock, letting wind and water in.
Exterior paint peeling within two to three years of a repaint is almost always a substrate or back-priming issue. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix.
Fastener issues are quiet until they're catastrophic. A section that blows off in a windstorm — and the water damage that follows — costs far more to fix than a fastener re-drive.
Air leakage through a compromised siding system can account for 10–20% of HVAC load. Addressing the envelope often produces measurable utility savings alongside the repair value.
Every service below is performed by our own licensed crews — not passed off to a subcontractor network. We carry the tools, the product certifications, and the field experience for every scope we quote.
New siding installation covers everything from the housewrap to the trim: starter strip, flashing at all penetrations, panel installation per manufacturer spec, and finishing trim at corners, windows, and the roofline. We work on new construction alongside GCs and handle full tear-off replacements on existing homes. Our Fort Washington, MD crews are certified on vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and steel panel systems — and we carry each product's installation manual on every job.
For insurance-related repairs, we produce a detailed damage documentation package — panel-level photos, square footage by elevation, material specifications — formatted for adjuster review. We've worked with every major carrier operating in MD and understand what documentation a claim requires.
Each cladding material has its own installation requirements, failure modes, and maintenance profile — and a crew that treats them all identically is a crew that will make material-specific mistakes. Our Fort Washington, MD specialists understand fiber cement's silica cutting protocols and back-priming requirements, vinyl's thermal expansion characteristics and lock-engagement tolerances, and wood's moisture content sensitivity and end-grain sealing needs. We don't sell you a product and then install it generically.
Property managers and HOA boards working with us get a dedicated project point of contact, building-by-building scheduling, and standardized documentation — including permit records, warranty registrations, and post-project photo files — formatted for HOA board records and reserve fund reporting.
On replacement projects, we replace trim components that are damaged or compromised regardless of the primary panel material — because leaving old, failing trim behind a new siding installation creates the exact problem the new siding was supposed to solve.
A professional siding inspection before buying or selling a Fort Washington, MD property gives you panel-level condition documentation that general home inspectors can't produce. We use calibrated moisture meters, close-range panel assessment, and caulk probe testing to generate a written report with photo documentation and a priority-ranked deficiency list. Pre-purchase inspections have identified sheathing moisture damage on properties where the general inspection reported the siding as "functional."
There are plenty of siding contractors in MD. Here's what separates the ones worth hiring from the ones who cost you twice — once for the job and once for fixing what they did wrong.
Our written estimates don't disappear after the handshake. They become the contract, and the final invoice reflects the estimate scope. If something changes, we issue a written change order before doing additional work.
We don't schedule jobs we can't start within a reasonable window. If our current backlog means a delay, we tell you upfront and give you realistic dates — not optimistic ones.
An unlicensed crew on your property creates liability exposure for you, not just for them. Our credentials are public record and we never hesitate to provide documentation.
A warranty that isn't in writing isn't a warranty. Ours is a document you can file, reference, and enforce.
We sweep for fasteners and nails every afternoon before leaving, protect landscaping and driveways with staging tarps, and haul debris off-site rather than leaving a roll-off on your driveway for weeks.
Documentation that exists only in our files doesn't help you. We hand over a complete close-out package at final walkthrough, organized and ready for your records.
No mysteries, no moving goalposts. The same documented process runs on every project we take in MD.
Your first call goes to a real dispatcher who asks the right questions. We arrive at the site assessment with the tools to measure, probe for moisture, and give you an accurate picture of what the project actually involves.
The estimate is a document, not a handshake. It lists every component — panels, trim, housewrap, fasteners, labor, permit fees — so you know exactly what's included before signing.
Material is ordered against the confirmed schedule. We don't start jobs with missing material. Your crew arrives on day one with everything staged and a clear sequence plan for the project.
Surprises are handled on your schedule, not ours. We document unexpected findings with photos, give you the repair cost in writing, and proceed only with your explicit sign-off.
The walkthrough isn't a formality. If anything isn't right, we note it and fix it before considering the project closed. Our reputation runs on completed projects, not signed contracts.
If our workmanship doesn't meet the standard we committed to in writing, we come back and make it right at no additional charge. That's not a marketing statement — it's the language in our warranty document, signed at project close. Our Fort Washington, MD clients get a document they can actually reference, not a slogan.
Call +1-844-782-0929 to Get StartedThree bids, three different approaches. Forge Siding was the only contractor who showed up with a moisture meter at the estimate visit and flagged elevated readings behind our north-facing panels before we even discussed product. That kind of diagnostic thoroughness sold us immediately.
Emergency call on a Saturday night after wind blew off eight panels on the back wall. Someone actually answered. Crew was on site Sunday morning, boarded up the exposed section, and had permanent panels installed by Tuesday. I'd been skeptical of "24/7" claims from other contractors — this is what it actually looks like.
I manage a 34-unit HOA community in Fort Washington, MD. Coordinating siding work across occupied buildings requires planning most contractors don't have. Forge Siding did building-by-building scheduling, communicated directly with residents about staging dates, and completed the project three days ahead of the contracted timeline. Comprehensive documentation delivered before final payment was due.
Had a historic cedar profile on our 1920s home that needed matching for a repair section. Forge Siding sourced a custom-milled profile from a sample board, got it approved through the preservation office, and executed a repair that's completely indistinguishable from the original. Real expertise for an unusual requirement.
The crew found rotted sheathing on the west wall during tear-off. Called me immediately, showed me exactly what they found with photos, and gave me the change order before touching anything. The whole process was transparent from start to finish — that's exactly how contractors should handle unexpected conditions.
The daily communication system — a morning text with the day's plan and an afternoon report of what was completed — kept me in the loop without requiring me to check in on them. They finished on schedule and the property was completely clean when they left for the last time.
