Fiberglass Composite Siding Replacement
A Balanced Combination Of Great Value, Lasting
Performance, And Head-Turning Style
Choosing the right siding or cladding system for your Northern VA–Suburban Maryland property can be a headache. Various great materials exist today like fiber cement, vinyl, or composite siding, but they tend to shine in some features and be duller in others.
Since opening our doors in 1981, we’ve seen everything the market has had to offer over the years. Whether it’s new siding and roofing or the latest entry doors, windows, and decking, we’re not often surprised. That was… until Alside released their Ascend Composite Siding system, designed to check every box and be in a class all its own:
- Enduring Performance
- High-End Aesthetics
- Innovative Design
- Low Maintenance
- Realistic Woodgrain
- Lifetime Warranty
Alside’s composite cladding is a first-of-its-kind solution that offers superior value and efficiency at a competitive price. They make it with a patented “(GP)22” technology, which combines a Glass-Reinforced Polymer and Graphite-Infused Polystyrene that looks INCREDIBLE.

I’d definitely recommend them for quality, timely work….
The Shiner crew provided a prompt response to our request for an estimate, accommodated our schedule to set up the work, and then came at the time promised to do the work. They finished quickly, notwithstanding the horrendously hot weather, and left after providing a detailed description of all they did. I'd definitely recommend them for quality, timely work.

Met with Ryan in early August to have some roof work done. He gave us a couple of options to choose from but we thought it best to go with a full roof replacement. Price was reasonable and around what I expected. The crew was great and cleaned up after the work was done. When I found out that the skylight blind they installed wasn’t working. Gave Shriner a call and Meynor came out the next day to fix it. When he wasn’t able to Shriner ordered and installed a new blind within a week. Highly recommend
I highly recommend them….
Shiner Exteriors were very professional from start to end. I called several companies to compare and even though they were not the cheapest I decided to go with them because of their extensive experience and service. They did a fantastic job of fixing my roof after a lightning strike. I highly recommend them.
We’re very happy with their work….
We used Shiner to replace our roof. Their prices were very reasonable, they answered all of our questions and were very transparent throughout the process. We had a few heavy rains shortly after the new roof was installed and had no leaks. We're very happy with their work.
A dependable, reasonable and honest business
There were no attempts to “up-sell” any other services
Fiberglass Composite Cladding FAQs
We love questions! Don’t be shy; ask away. We’re happy to provide professional guidance and insight to help ensure you love your new exterior. Here are some common questions we get regarding siding installation and repair.
Can I Get Help With Design & Color Matching?
Sure! Alside’s 20 designer-inspired colors are beautiful. But maybe coming ‘close’ to matching your home’s other colors isn’t enough. In that case, Alside partners with Sherwin-Williams to provide color-match formulas for the entire Ascend product line. Your Shiner project consultant will help ensure your coloring is picture-perfect.
Can I See What It’ll Look Like Before Installation?
Yes! When you go through the product line with your project consultant, they’ll have a tablet with a visualizer application. It’s an easy-to-use program that allows you to see your home’s appearance with different color combinations (planks, board, and batten). It has a before-and-after format, so you can see how your home looks now vs. after we install an Ascend system.
Am I In Your Service Area?
Shiner Exteriors is based in Sterling, Virginia. That said, we serve the entire Northern VA–Suburban Maryland region. Or, as many call it, the Suburban Maryland area (DMV). Please visit our Service Areas page for more information. If you’re still unsure, please contact us, and we’ll quickly let you know whether we can reach you.
What Other Siding Systems Do You Specialize In?
Along with the Ascend composite cladding system, we work with premium vinyl siding (also from Alside) and James Hardie fiber cement siding. This gives you three different high-performance material systems with tons of customization options.
Your Shiner consultant will walk you through the differences and similarities of each and their price points relative to the scope of your project.
What Other Kinds Of Exterior Remodeling Do You Offer?
Shiner transforms the exteriors of both homes and businesses. We offer residential roofing and commercial roofing, as well as window replacement, entry door replacement, residential decking, and gutter replacement/protection.
Can I Finance My Siding Project With Shiner?
Yes, financing exterior remodeling projects is common. The process is easy, and we offer a variety of plans to help you get the work done now rather than waiting. Just let your consultant know you’re interested, and they’ll walk you through everything. You can also visit our Financing page for more information.
What Do You Mean Ascend Siding Is ‘Low Maintenance’?
Thanks to Alside’s innovative ‘stack lock’ design, the planks fit tightly together to create a durable barrier that only needs to be occasionally cleaned. You never need to invest in a costly paint job or worry about touch-ups. But that’s not all; there’s no gaps, cracks, or nail holes to caulk!
What’s Special About Ascend Board & Batten?
First, it’s sizable, with a 10’’ board and 2’’ batten that add depth and a handcrafted appeal. Also, because of its design, there are no individual fasteners or anything to fill in or touch up after installation. Finally, the Cedar Mill grain, texture, and matte finish fit well with a wide variety of design options.
Do You Do Siding Repairs?
We sure do. We can repair the most common kinds of siding, whether the repairs are limited or extensive due to causes like storm damage. Please visit our Siding Repairs page for more information. If it’s an emergency, don’t hesitate to call our office at (703) 560-7663.
How Long Will My Siding Project Take?
Our ‘average’ siding project takes 3-5 days. However, siding is often combined with other exterior remodeling projects like replacing windows and entry doors or roofing. As the project scope increases, the timeline elongates. Rest assured, every phase of your project will be scheduled in advance and well-coordinated with you.
