Hi, I’m Scott Neidow, founder of Fairway Exteriors. Before starting Fairway, I spent 15 years working directly for James Hardie. That experience shapes how we approach exterior remodeling, from training standards to installation quality and the overall customer experience.
During my time at Hardie, I trained thousands of siding contractors across the country, inspected field installations, managed sales teams, led entire regions, and worked directly with the company’s CEO. Those roles reinforced a simple truth. Quality does not come from marketing or shortcuts. It comes from knowledge, discipline, and doing the work the right way.
Fairway Exteriors was built after seeing the same issue repeat itself across thousands of siding projects. Homeowners chose high-quality products, especially James Hardie, yet results varied widely based on who installed them. The material was engineered to perform. The installation often was not.
We exist to address that by applying manufacturer-level standards to every project. The same discipline used to train, inspect, and evaluate contractors is built into how jobs are designed, installed, and managed. The goal is simple. Remove guesswork, follow the standards that matter, and deliver siding work that performs the way it was designed to.
Fairway Exteriors is different because its foundation comes directly from the manufacturer. It was built by someone who spent 15 years training other contractors how to correctly install James Hardie products. When you work with Fairway Exteriors, you are working with the company led by the person who trained the market.
We do not offer one-year or five-year workmanship warranties. Every project is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty. If something was done incorrectly and you call us 15 years later, we fix it at no cost. One hundred percent of the time.
Our work is not complete until you are fully satisfied. This is not a scope-only mindset. If something is not right, we stay on the job and make it right until you are confident in the result.
We bring manufacturer-level experience and disciplined installation standards to every exterior project. Our team brings deep industry knowledge, strong installation standards, and a shared commitment to quality, communication, and long-term results.
Nicholas Ludwig leads our team supervising crews and communicating daily with homeowners as our Senior Production Manager. Nicholas grew up on a farm and was tinkering and helping out as needed. Later he honed his construction skills as a welder for several years. Eventually he moved on to being a handyman and then has spent the last few years as an experienced veteran supervising exterior remodeling crews in Kansas City.
Your exterior should reflect pride, performance, and long-term value. We take that responsibility seriously. Schedule a consultation today.
Installed the right way. Guaranteed for life.

Fairway Exteriors is an excellent siding replacement contractor. The owner, Scott, is very knowledgeable and helped a lot with design decisions. Design assistance is rarely offered with other contractors. Nick was our project manager. He was fantastic in helping us get everything we wanted and assuring the workmanship met our expectations. We had Scott or Nick (many times both) on site several times a day. We are delighted with the results. Our house has never looked so good.

Very, very pleased with the craftsmanship of the team that did our re-siding! Its a tall house with places that are hard to reach. We get compliments every day! The crew was very very good at cleaning up, never missed a day and worked until sundown. Nicholas was excellent as a project manager, great communicator! Highly recommended!!

Fairway Exteriors was recommended to us for exterior siding by another satisfied customer. Their team came out and worked hard to totally change the look of our home. They were polite and cleaned up everything each day. Scott and Nicholas kept in touch with videos of the progress. We consider this an investment in our home that will last a lifetime. We couldn’t be happier!!

Fairway stood out with their attention to detail, timeliness and communication throughout the whole installation. If you’re in the market, I’d give them a call! This is the second time I’ve had siding work performed on my home and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Scott, Nicholas and the Fairway Exteriors team did a great job installing James Hardie siding – replacing existing vinyl siding that overlaid stucco. The team performed quickly and Scott/Nicholas provided consistent progress throughout the project. As with all older houses the real work is repairing and accounting for the parts of the house that may not be true or suffering from other issues. The Fairway team addressed all issues and the final installation looked like we’ve had it all along. Would recommend.

Scott, Isaac and the crew at Fairway Exteriors do a great job! The windows installation, siding and paint have my house looking brand new! The project was completed quickly professionally and the communication throughout was appreciated. Glad we trusted our home update to Fairway exteriors.

From Scott’s initial visit to our home, we knew that Fairway Exteriors would get our business. Scott was very thorough in his estimating process which was huge for us since we are historically “do it yourself-ers” and hiring out was a big deal! His team communicated at every turn during the project so we knew exactly what they were up to and when. The job was done with excellence and the end result was more beautiful than we could have imagined! 10/10 for sure!

Superior performance in every respect from start to finish. Our 40+ yrs old bat and board wood siding had once again needed wood rot repair as well as a new paint job. We got the usual paint bids but also contacted Fairway (based on reviews) to consider replacing it with James Hardie siding. And we are glad we did. Fairway did a great job (including a new window) and in the end we ended up with more value for our dollars spent. We’ve never had a contractor more conscientious than Scott. His bid was entirely reasonable. His crew was careful and skilled. The project started and finished on time. Highly recommend.

We knew we were using James Hardie from the get go, but it took us almost two years to decide on a siding company. Fairway Exteriors was not the least expensive, but we felt confident from the start, the value for the money spent was worth it. We were so pleased with our experience with Scott, Nickolas, and the crew. Great communication about the process. Clean up every evening. They guys worked hard and they had an amazing attention to detail. Everyone, we felt, went above and beyond. We highly recommend Fairway Exteriors and, if ever needed, we would use them again!

I highly recommend this company. Scott and team provided a very professional group to replace our windows as well as siding. They were on-site daily for check-in and questions. The crews were very respectful of our property, cleaning up daily after work was completed for the day. A five star company going above and beyond!!! We have our dream home now!!!

We had a great experience with Fairway Exteriors! I appreciated the careful meticulous, hard work that each person brought to the project. Isaac and Scott, project leaders, were always quick to respond to questions along with frequently kept us updated on the project timelines. I was grateful to them for when we weren’t present at home then they were flexible to send video and pictures to ask for our feedback and any decisions they needed help with. We’ve received multiple compliments from our surrounding neighbors about the work. We love our finished product!

We worked with Fairway Exteriors and had a good experience. We did both siding and windows as well and have been pleased with the work for both. We chose Fairway based on reviews from others and their pricing was competitive. The onsite installers were professional and there was always a foreman on site we could communicate directly with. He also gave us daily updates on progress, questions or issues. We had issues with a leaky exterior faucet and a gas line that they discovered and we had a third party come out to fix. Those were our only additional costs.

We had our siding replaced by Fairway Exteriors this week and are very very pleased with the result. Scott is very knowledgeable about siding and was happy to answer any questions we had on the initial consultation. The quote came in quickly and when we decided go move forward they were able to squeeze us in a lot faster than we assumed. When it came time to start Scott and Isaac were both very helpful and kept us informed of any hiccups and everything going on via group text and any questions we had they had answers. Of course a project of this magnitude isn’t cheap, but they are very competitive on pricing and have a top of the line product. We are very pleased with overall experience and would highly recommend. Before and after pictures are below.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Scott, Isaac, and the crew at Fairway Exterior. They were very thorough in communicating from beginning to the end. There were no questions left unanswered. The crew was respectful and so quick and efficient. The Hardie Board siding looks incredible and our home got a major upgrade, we are eager to show off the results. We are thrilled with this decision and will enjoy it for years to come. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Our experience with Scott Neidow and Fairway Exteriors was outstanding! We needed our siding replaced on two sides of our house, Scott recommended Hardie board. We got bids from 2 other very well known company’s, not only was Scott competitive but his attention to detail was over the top! He was on site every day checking every detail with his crews, always confirming that we were satisfied. The finished product is perfect!

Scott and his team did a fantastic job! Despite a rainy spring, our extensive project (full siding, multiple windows, new gutters, new shutters…) was completed on budget and ahead of schedule! We also had a few surprises along the way with some extra repairs for under the surface wood rot (which really needed to be repaired regardless of the new siding), but Scott’s team kept us informed and involved. The dedicated construction team was completely professional and respectful of our house and our neighborhood. Thank you so much for giving us a beautiful new/old house!

I used Scott at Fairway Exteriors for work on our home at Lake Lotawana and couldn’t be happier! Scott did an excellent job from patiently working with us on a plan for our home’s exterior through completing the installation of James Hardie siding, exterior lighting, a new garage door and new gutters. Although we decided not to add new windows and a front door, he provided bids for that work as well. Scott’s installers were professional and courteous as well as true craftsman who took great pride in their work. Scott was attentive and quick to respond to issues that arose (termites, wood rot, etc.) and helped us to resolve them. The James Hardie siding greatly improved the look and, I believe, the value of our home. I highly recommend Scott and Fairway Exteriors!

Scott was quick to get back to me anytime I had questions. He was very knowledgeable about James Hardie and took time to answer my questions. The installers were very courteous and picked up after themselves every night. No nails or trash or cigarette butts were left which we appreciated because we have grandchildren that play in the yard. We are very happy with the way the project went and how our new siding looks.

My new windows from Fairway Exteriors make my house bright and airy. The crew arrived on time and worked carefully since I have pets. Scott helped with the details to make the install go smoothly. I recommend them to anyone wanting professional workmanship and a quality product.
