A different kind of siding project
An aging or damaged exterior changes how a building reads to the people who use it, whether tenants, customers, or staff. For most property owners, re-siding is a planned capital improvement rather than an emergency, which leaves time to weigh materials, budget, and timing before work starts.
Siding an occupied building differs from siding a house because the building does not close for the work. Materials need a place to stage without blocking parking or traffic, entrances and walkways stay clear and safe, and the crew works elevation by elevation so the rest of the building keeps functioning. At the end of each day, the site is left safe and presentable, not just at the end of the job.
What the work involves
What a commercial re-side involves
A commercial re-side starts with assessing the existing exterior, removing what is there, and checking the condition of what is behind it before new material goes up. From there, new siding, trim, and finish go on across elevations that are usually larger and simpler in shape than a house's. The work also carries requirements a house project does not. Materials and equipment need a staging area that does not block parking or customer traffic, entrances and walkways stay clear and safe the entire time, the crew moves elevation by elevation so the rest of the building keeps functioning, and the site is left safe and presentable at the end of each work day, not just at the end of the job.
Materials for a commercial exterior
Vinyl is the entry point on cost and the lowest-maintenance option, though it is the least resistant to impact of the three. Fiber cement is heavier and more dimensionally stable, and it holds paint well, which matters when a building's color is part of how people recognize it. Engineered wood is a wood-based option with more impact resistance than vinyl. LP SmartSide is the engineered-wood line we are a certified installer of, and the credential is explained in full on our LP SmartSide page. On a larger commercial elevation, the maintenance a material demands tends to compound over time, and that is usually what tips the decision one way or the other.

Why Tallgrass
Licensed and insured
We are licensed and insured. Liability exposure on a commercial property is higher than on a house, which is exactly why this matters more here than anywhere else on this site.
Local, and on a normal schedule
Tallgrass is family and locally owned, established in 2015, with over two decades of combined trade experience. We work Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with weekends by appointment.
Work sequenced around an open building
The work moves elevation by elevation so your building keeps functioning, entrances and walkways stay clear, and the site is left presentable at the end of each day. This is how the job is run, not a promise about how little you will notice it.
Common questions about commercial siding
There is no single best material. It depends on the size of the elevations, how much maintenance the building can absorb over time, and whether the building's color is part of how people recognize it. Vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood each fit a different set of priorities.
Yes. Work moves elevation by elevation so the building keeps functioning, and entrances and walkways stay clear throughout. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with weekends by appointment, and we set the schedule with you before work starts.
Material, total wall area, stories and how much is reachable from the ground, how many openings, corners, and transitions there are, and whether trim and soffit are included all factor in. So does what we find once the old siding comes off. A free estimate covers the specifics.
Yes. We handle the full permitting process on any job where a permit is required, and requirements vary from one jurisdiction to the next. We take care of it as part of the project rather than leaving it for you to manage.
