The 2026 Oklahoma Siding Awards

Start with the 2026 city winner if they hang the material you want, then call that shop. Get wrap, flashing, and trim on the written estimate. Ask who is on site the week they start.

Price depends on material, square footage, tear-off, trim, and access. Vinyl is usually the lowest bid. Engineered wood sits in the middle. Hardie, fiber cement, and brick cost more up front. Ask the shop to split labor and materials on the written estimate.

Product line and color, square footage, tear-off or reside, housewrap, flashing, trim, soffit, paint or factory finish, dumpster, and start window. If wrap and flashing are missing, the cheap number is usually a thinner scope.

Fiber cement and Hardie handle hail, heat, and ice better than thin vinyl. Wood looks right on older homes but needs paint and rot checks. Match the material to the storm risk on your street.

Repair works when damage is local: a few cracked boards, one wall, chimney wrap, or trim rot. Full replacement makes sense when the wrap is failing, paint will not hold, water is behind the skin, or you are changing material.

Most cities have one winner. Start there if they hang the material you want. Call that shop and get wrap, flashing, and trim on the written estimate.

A typical Tulsa house is days, not months, if weather holds. Homeowners on this issue describe whole-house wraps in a week and smaller chimney or gable jobs in a day or two. Ask about start date, crew size, and whether they tear off and hang in the same week.

Ask the shop who pulls the permit and whose name is on it. Some jobs need a permit, some do not. Get that answer in writing so the start date is not a surprise.

Most homeowners stay home. Expect noise, outdoor crews, and daily cleanup. If you will be out of town, ask who locks the site and how they reach you. One Tulsa Renew homeowner wrote that a wrap finished while they were away and the yard was cleaned.

Tear-off removes the old skin so the crew can see sheathing, wrap, and rot. Hanging over existing siding is faster and can hide problems. After Oklahoma hail or a leak, ask to see the wall before you agree to reside over it.

After hail, some shops help walk the claim with the adjuster. Ask who talks to insurance, what the supplement process is, and whether the walls and the roof are one ticket. Get the scope in writing even when insurance is paying.

Ask for the manufacturer warranty on the product and a workmanship warranty from the shop. Burnett publishes a live-in-the-home workmanship warranty. Other shops state their terms on the bid. Read what is covered after wind and hail.
