Roeland Park is full of mid-century ranches, story-and-a-half Capes, and split-levels that were built between 1951 and the early 1960s. Most still wear original wood lap, cedar shingle, or hardboard siding that was never engineered for 70+ years of Kansas weather. We replace it.

Driving the streets off Roe Boulevard, Juniper Drive, and around R Park, the same four issues show up again and again on homes here:
We pull every piece of failing siding, repair the sheathing, and rebuild trim before a single new board goes on. Most contractors skip this. We do not.
Roeland Park sits in James Hardie’s HZ5 climate zone, which is engineered specifically for Midwest weather: 95-degree humid Julys, sub-zero Januarys, and the hail and wind events that the NWS Pleasant Hill office issues warnings for nearly every spring.
A few reasons James Hardie siding is the standard we recommend here:
Hardie board siding also pairs cleanly with the brick veneer most Roeland Park ranches were built with, so you keep the mid-century character while killing the maintenance.
The default for ranches and split-levels here. We typically run a 6.25 or 7.25-inch exposure to match what your house was built with.
For Cape Cod gables, dormers, and accent walls. Replaces aging cedar shake without the every-other-year fight.
The detail work that makes the difference. Tight returns at gable peaks, properly flashed window casings, and a vented soffit that actually breathes.
Built for the HZ5 zone. The most popular Roeland Park picks lately have been Iron Gray, Aged Pewter, Boothbay Blue, and Arctic White with Rich Espresso trim. We bring real sample boards to your house so you can see them in your light, against your brick.
