Schedule Your Free Siding Inspection
A proper siding inspection on a Fortville home takes time, and we treat it that way. Our crew walks every elevation and checks panel laps for separation, trim for cracking or pull away, flashing at windows and transitions, and soffit and fascia for soft spots or wind damage. We look for the telltale signs of storm impact (cracked or pitted panels, dented aluminum trim, wind lifted courses) and the slower signs of age like UV fading, failed caulk, and moisture staining behind loose panels. Every finding is documented with photos you can keep for your records or an insurance claim. Catching a small issue on a Fortville home early is the difference between a targeted repair and a full wall rebuild later.
I agree to be contacted by Fortville Siding Company regarding my inquiry.
Siding that touches the ground is siding on a countdown. Grade against the bottom course wicks moisture up the wall, splash back keeps it fed, and the clearances the manufacturer required disappear a landscaping project at a time. Across Fortville and Hancock, the rot at the bottom of a wall almost always traces to a rule about inches that got buried along with the foundation line.
Second opinions are free at Fortville Siding Company, and sometimes ours is that your Fortville siding has years left. A wash, a caulk cycle, and two panel repairs beat a reside when the wall underneath is sound, and homeowners hear that math even though it pays us less. Across Hancock, the calls we talked out of a project this year are the referrals that carry next year, and the model is exactly that patient.
Home built before 1978? Then the wall coming off is a procedure, not just a project. Fortville Siding Company scopes older Fortville exteriors that way: containment planned, removal controlled, and the dust treated as the hazard it is. Call (765) 978-5086 for the estimate that says how the old material leaves, not only what the new material costs.

Local Expertise, Real Results
A siding job is judged from the sidewalk in five years, not from the driveway on day one.
The corners, the J-channel, and the window surrounds are where siding jobs get judged. Fortville Siding Company treats trim as finish carpentry on Fortville homes, mitered tight and sealed right, because the field panels only look as good as their edges.
Fortville Siding Company serves Fortville and the surrounding Hancock County communities, including Fishers, McCordsville, Greenfield, Pendleton, Ingalls, and Lapel. Founder Aaron Christy started the company in 2018 after years of siding work across central Indiana, and that same trade focus still drives how our crews show up on a Fortville job site. We are licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and our crews are local to the region. Whether you own a century old home near Broadway or a newer build on the north side of Fortville, you get the same careful approach.
Every project in Fortville starts with a real inspection, not a quick glance from the driveway. We walk the elevations, photograph panel condition, laps, trim, and flashing, and put findings in writing so you can see exactly what we saw. From there you get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, so there is no guessing about what is included. On the work itself, we care about the details other crews rush past: proper fastening, clean cuts around windows, and trim that lays flat. No invented certifications, no sales theater, just siding done right.
Our Promise
Our promise to Fortville homeowners is simple and specific. First, a free on site inspection before we ask you to commit to anything, including photo documentation you keep. Second, an honest written estimate with itemized scope, transparent line items. Third, clean workmanship on your siding, backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to the standard manufacturer coverage on the materials we install. That is the standard, whether the job is a single wall repair or a full replacement.
The Standard We Hold on Fortville Walls
Serving Fortville and Hancock with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
Central Indiana storm seasons keep us busy, and hail events like the one recorded at Fortville in March 2025 are exactly the kind of damage we are set up to assess. We prioritize storm calls, document cracked panels and dented trim carefully, and get you a written scope quickly so repairs can move forward.
Fortville Homes We Know
Fortville housing runs from pre-1940 wood clapboard downtown to post-2000 vinyl and fiber cement on the north and east fringes. We have worked on both ends of that range, and we know how each system fails, from brittle early vinyl to caulk lines that no longer hold on older trim.
Full Scope, One Crew
You get the same team from inspection through the final walkthrough. That means the person who documented your siding damage is the same one making sure the finished wall lines up correctly. No handoffs, no confusion about what was promised on the front end.
Claim Documentation Done Right
When Fortville storm damage is involved, paperwork matters as much as the repair. We photograph impact points, note affected elevations, and write a scope your insurance carrier and adjuster can actually work with. You keep copies of everything for your own records.
Real Jobs. Real Results.

What to Expect Before Our Fortville Crew Arrives
The first step for any Fortville project is an on site walkthrough. We look at every elevation, check panel condition, laps, trim, flashing, and soffit and fascia, and photograph anything that shows storm impact or age wear. If the home is in one of the wind exposed subdivisions like Mt. Vernon North or Beyers Estates, we pay extra attention to the sides that catch the worst weather. Before we talk about scope, we make sure you can see what we saw. That way the conversation about repair versus replacement is grounded in the actual condition of your siding.
Next comes the written estimate. You get an itemized scope with materials, labor, and any related trim or flashing work spelled out, so there are no surprise adds later. If there is a storm damage claim involved, we hand you the photo documentation and written findings you need for your insurance carrier, and we work directly with your adjuster on scope questions when they come out to a Fortville property. works with your insurance carrier, and we do not name drop carriers. Your claim stays yours, and we support it with clear evidence.
Once the scope is approved, we schedule the work at a time that fits your calendar. On the day of the job, our crew protects landscaping and hard surfaces around the home, stages materials cleanly, and installs the siding system with attention to fastening pattern, lap spacing, and trim detail. When we are done, we walk the property with you in Fortville, review each elevation, and address anything that does not look right before we pack out. Cleanup includes a magnet sweep for fasteners and a full debris haul.

What we see most often on Fortville siding systems
Fortville homeowners typically call us about these scenarios.
Missing Kick-Out Flashing
Where a roof edge meets a sidewall, a small kick-out flashing diverts hundreds of gallons a season away from the wall. Most rotted sheathing Fortville Siding Company opens up in Fortville traces back to this one missing piece. We install the kick-out, repair the wall assembly that paid the price, and close it back up with the detail done right.
Whole Course of Siding Gone After Wind
Uplift finds the bottom lock first. Once one end of a course is pried free the wind runs the length of the panel and takes it off the wall, which is why straight line wind leaves a clean horizontal gap rather than a hole. The panels still standing on that elevation are worth checking too · a lock that is only half engaged looks fine from the driveway.
Water Getting Behind the Siding
Siding is a rain screen, not a waterproof shell; the water resistive barrier behind it does the real sealing. When Fortville homes leak at windows and corners, the barrier and flashing details are usually the failure, not the panels. Fortville Siding Company diagnoses behind the cladding before quoting, because new siding over a bad barrier leaks on day one.
Fiber Cement Set Too Close to Grade or Deck
Fiber cement holds up well, but it wicks. Sit the bottom course down on a slab, a deck board, or a roof surface and it pulls water up into the plank and stays wet at the cut edge. James Hardie publishes minimum clearances to grade, roofing, decks, and other horizontal surfaces, and meeting them is a condition of the warranty · Fortville Siding Company installs to the current published instructions.
Something Nesting Behind the Panels
Woodpeckers work the gable ends and the trim boards, and once there is an opening, wasps, squirrels, and mice use it. The hole is a direct path for rain, but the bigger problem is nesting material packing the cavity and holding water against the sheathing. Patching the panel without closing the entry point just hides the tenants.
Repair Panels That Do Not Match
Color lines get discontinued, and the panels already on your house have weathered for years, so even the correct color code comes out of the box brighter than the wall around it. Whether an insurer pays to redo an undamaged elevation for appearance depends on your policy wording. Fortville Siding Company tells you what will and will not blend before the repair, not after.

Fortville on Our Sheathing Allowance
4.9 stars across 2,307+ Google reviews.
"The part I cannot see is the part I asked the most questions about. They walked me through how the wrap laps and how it ties into the window flashing before any panels went up, and took pictures of all of it. I still have the file."
"The lights, the hose bib, the dryer vent, and the meter all got proper mounting blocks instead of a bead of caulk holding things together. It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between looking finished and looking done."
"Wind took most of the panels off the north wall. They matched the profile close enough that you have to be shown where the repair is, and they were straight with me from the start that an exact color match on siding that old was not going to happen."
What Comes Up on Every Fortville Estimate
Straight answers to the questions Fortville homeowners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Siding Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Fortville homeowners deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.
Hail Cracking Panels And Trim
Hail passed over Fortville on March 30, 2025, and it is a regular part of central Indiana spring seasons. Impact can crack or pit vinyl, dent aluminum trim, and chip fiber cement on the exposed elevations. When we are called in, we inspect every side, document each hit with photos, and write a scope that separates cosmetic damage from panels that need to come off.
Straight-Line Wind Damage
High wind events over 60 mph, like those documented in January 2024 and March 2023, are the most common cause of full panel blow off in this area. Loose fastening or aged nail hems give up first, and once one course lifts, the row above it follows. We reset or replace lifted courses and check the fastening pattern on nearby elevations before it happens again.
Freeze And Thaw Cycles
Indiana winters swing between hard freezes and thaws, and that movement works fasteners loose and opens gaps at butt joints. Water finds those gaps, and by spring you have hidden damage behind panels that still look fine from the curb. Our inspection includes checking laps and joint caulking that winter tends to break down.
Moisture Behind Aging Siding
On older Fortville homes with early generation vinyl or aged wood clapboard, failed caulk and cracked panels let water get behind the cladding. Once it is behind the wall, it stains sheathing and rots trim from the back side out. We pull suspect panels, check what is happening underneath, and repair the substrate before new siding goes on.
Choosing the Right Siding for Fortville Homes
An honest breakdown of the three siding systems we install most frequently.
Vinyl siding is the most common choice on Fortville homes, especially in the post-2000 subdivisions on the north and east edges of town. Homeowners pick it because it is cost effective, comes in a wide range of colors and profiles, and handles central Indiana weather well when installed correctly. Modern vinyl has better impact and UV resistance than the early panels found on many mid century ranches, and replacement work often means a noticeable step up in durability compared to what was originally on the home.
Fiber cement is the upgrade a lot of Fortville owners consider when they want something more durable than standard vinyl. It resists hail impact better, holds paint for years, and does not warp or soften under sun exposure on wind exposed elevations. The tradeoff is a higher material cost and a heavier install, but on homes that catch full weather on all four sides, the longer service life and better hail resistance usually justify the upgrade for owners planning to stay put.
James Hardie fiber cement siding is a premium option chosen by Fortville homeowners who want a long service life and a specific architectural look. It handles hail, wind, and freeze and thaw cycles well, and it holds finish color longer than most alternatives on the market. The tradeoff is upfront cost and a more involved installation, so it makes the most sense on homes where the owner plans to stay long term or where an HOA architectural review calls for a higher grade material.
