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.

We are repeat customers of Shiner and recently had our deck replaced. The Shiner experience was exemplary. The Shiner President set high expectations with us regarding the deck crew and the Trex decking material. The crew exceeded our expectations with their workmanship and attention to detail. Communication with Shiner was well coordinated on all levels. The resulting deck is well built and more beautiful than we anticipated.

THANK YOU ALL AT SHINER FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT…
After a bad storm caused damages to our roof & gutters (hail) we had every roofing company within a 100-mile radius knocking at our door. Not 1 of them wanted to show us an estimate- they just wanted our insurance company's information. I recalled my brother telling me he had had his roof replaced so I put a call to him. I knew my brother would not allow anyone without experience and trustworthy to do his home repairs. That is when I called. Even after we decided to move forward with this AND put a sign in our yard with Shiner's logo we still had "storm chasers" from roofing companies knocking or putting a card in our door. It was a very trying time for us. This company is reliable, their crew does excellent work, and they are extremely respectful & polite. At the end of the day our roof was done and there was a thunderstorm. When I walked outside, they had finished but had yet to pick up their equipment and old roofing. I found them under a tree in the yard and had to ask them a few times to please come on the porch or the garage and get out of the rain. The same goes with the office staff. They worked with me through all my questions and kept me updated about the work. It took a while to get the project started, but we knew there would be a delay due to the substantial number of homes damaged from the storm and the time it took to get things completed with our insurance company who also kept us updated. Between Erie & Shiner we felt like we had a grip on what was going on, what do expect and how to handle things we needed to do. The only thing I am sorry about is that it took so long for me to get this review written. As far as the other questions listed below about the price are concerned, I do not feel I can answer. Our insurance company paid a great deal of this and leaving us with the deductible, replacement of a few sheets of plywood and some of the gutter work that needed replacement but was not caused by storm damage, which was our responsibility. And, since I could not get an estimate from anyone OTHER than Shiner when I tried, I have nothing to compare prices. I looked for reliable and honest, and I saw that in this company. That beats price any day. THANK YOU ALL AT SHINER FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB.
We highly recommend this company !…
We contacted Shiner Exteriors for some major roof and gutter works and are extremely pleased with the entire process. The company is very responsive. Joe Francis visited our home in no time, did a thorough investigation, gave us clear explanations about the issues, and offered several options for renovation and repair. The roof and gutter crews delivered fast, efficient and highly professional work. The teams are extremely dedicated and work together like a very well-oiled machine. It was a pleasure to watch them make progress. We are extremely pleased with the result! Also the clean up afterwards was perfect. Thank you! We highly recommend this company ! Marc Quintyn McLean
We could not be happier with our renovation
I give them the highest recommendation
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.
