Silver Stag Exteriors provides siding replacement throughout Fountain and the surrounding El Paso County area. Most siding failures are not siding failures. They are water management failures behind the siding, where the housewrap, flashing, and drainage plane either work together or do not. Siding installed over a compromised weather barrier looks correct for about three years. We detail the wall assembly properly, then install the finish material you actually want.
What matters specifically in Fountain
Housing stock
A mix of established mid-century homes and newer subdivisions, with a large military community tied to Fort Carson. Turnover is higher than average, which makes pre-sale exterior work common.
Weather exposure
Same hail corridor as Colorado Springs with slightly lower elevation. Wind-driven rain against south and west elevations is a recurring siding and window issue.
Areas we serve here
Cross Creek, Countryside, Ventana, and the rest of Fountain.

Siding questions from Fountain homeowners
Fiber cement or vinyl?
Fiber cement holds up better to hail and sun, takes paint well, and looks substantially better on most homes, but it costs more and is heavier to install. Vinyl is cheaper and effectively maintenance free, but it can crack under hail impact and its color options fade over time. On the Front Range specifically, hail exposure pushes a lot of homeowners toward fiber cement or engineered wood.
Can you replace just the damaged section?
Sometimes. Partial replacement works when the existing siding is a current product line and the color still matches, which becomes less likely the older the siding is. We will tell you honestly whether a patch will look like a patch.
Do I need to replace the housewrap too?
If the siding is coming off, yes, in almost every case. Old housewrap is frequently torn, improperly lapped, or missing flashing at the openings. Reusing it to save a few hundred dollars is how you end up doing the job twice.
How long does siding take?
A typical single-family home runs about one to two weeks depending on size, material, and how much substrate repair is uncovered once the old siding is off.
