Permit counts on this page are Ohio-scoped: they come only from real matched public-record permits — 5,004 permits joined to 554 contractors across 22 county jurisdictions (in Ohio: Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton). No synthetic data is used; coverage of additional counties and states is in progress, and ProFix is honest about that limitation on every leaderboard page. The Ohio TL;DR, pricing, and FAQ below are written for Ohio homeowners as a worked example — confirm your own state's licensing and permit rules before you hire.

Hiring checks for Ohio siding contractors

  • Siding installation is not state-licensed in Ohio. Like-for-like vinyl replacement usually does not need a permit; storm-damage scopes that touch sheathing, house wrap, or flashing usually do.
  • James Hardie Elite Preferred contractors carry the strongest warranty on fiber cement; GAF Master Elite covers bundled roof+siding storm jobs.
  • Storm chasers flood Ohio neighborhoods after hail and wind events — verify Ohio business registration and manufacturer cert before signing a contingency.
  • Vinyl is cheaper up front; fiber cement (James Hardie) handles Ohio weather better over a 30-50 year horizon.

Frequently asked: Ohio siding contractors

Are siding contractors state-licensed in Ohio?

No. James Hardie Elite Preferred, GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, and VSI installer are the trust signals. Siding scope often bundles with roofing on storm jobs.

Vinyl vs fiber cement (James Hardie) in Ohio?

Vinyl is cheaper ($5K-$12K for an average house) and fast to install but dents and fades. Fiber cement (James Hardie) costs $10K-$25K, lasts 30-50 years, and handles Ohio weather extremely well. James Hardie Elite Preferred contractors carry the strongest warranty.

Storm-chaser red flags?

Door-to-door pitch right after a hail or wind event, out-of-state plates, demand for a full deposit, no Ohio business registration, no manufacturer cert, and pressure to sign a contingency before your insurance adjuster has visited. Walk away from all of those.

Do I need a permit for siding replacement in Ohio?

Like-for-like siding replacement usually does not require a building permit in most Ohio cities. Storm-damage scopes that also touch sheathing, house wrap, flashing, or windows often do. Toledo and other cities may require contractor registration even when no permit is pulled.
