Why Choose Forge & Quill for Maine Siding?
Architectural Integrity & Aesthetic Precision
Whether you’re renovating a historic Southern Maine home or crafting a sleek, modern building, we tailor siding to match each structure’s unique architectural language. From restoration-grade cedar shingles to modern fiber cement or composite siding, every choice reflects both historical accuracy and design vision.
Material Excellence & Environmental Consideration
We prioritize materials that balance beauty, durability, and eco-responsibility. Options include:
- Cedar & Natural Wood — rich character, authentic splitting/shingle profiles, and exceptional natural insulation.
- Fiber Cement — durable, low-maintenance, and available in a wide palette of factory finishes.
- Engineered & Composite Cladding — high-performance, rot-resistant, and ideal for coastal exposure.
- Reclaimed OEM or Specialty Orders — for precise historical restorations where matching original materials matters.
Each approach aligns with our sustainability ethic and yields a resilient exterior designed to stand up to Maine’s coastal climate.
Precision Installation & Weather-Proofing
A new Maine siding job isn’t just about slapping up panels, it’s about high-performance assembly. Our team:
- Ensures proper insulation and continuous water-resistive barriers.
- Carefully integrates flashings, trims, and moldings to direct moisture away.
- Applies meticulous finishing including trim coats, caulking, fastener alignment, and detailing that preserve aesthetics over time.
Comprehensive Project Coordination
As licensed general contractors, we oversee your siding from concept to completion, ensuring seamless integration with roofing, windows, trim, and architectural elements. We handle permitting, scheduling, and cleanup—providing you a streamlined, stress-free process.
