Siding That Looks Right and Holds Up
Siding installation and repair in Fort Lauderdale serves the portion of the residential and commercial market where stucco isn't the right answer — buildings with wood-framed construction designed for siding products, properties undergoing exterior material upgrades from wood to low-maintenance alternatives, and commercial applications where contemporary siding profiles produce an architectural aesthetic that stucco cannot match. Fort Lauderdale's coastal climate demands siding products with genuine moisture resistance, UV stability, and in hurricane-prone locations, wind resistance appropriate for Broward County's design pressure requirements. At Planet Construction FL, we install and repair siding with product selection and installation practices calibrated for South Florida's demanding conditions.
Failing Siding Damages Everything Behind It
The Planet Construction Approach
Cracked, warped, or missing siding isn't just a curb appeal problem — it's a water intrusion problem. Once moisture gets behind the siding, it damages framing, insulation, and interior finishes long before you notice anything from the outside. Florida's UV, humidity, and storms accelerate every kind of siding failure, and patch jobs with mismatched materials make the damage more obvious, not less.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Call (754) 301-6747Is fiber cement siding good for Fort Lauderdale's climate?
Fiber cement is one of the best siding choices for Fort Lauderdale's coastal climate. It resists moisture absorption — unlike wood, which swells, warps, and rots in South Florida's humidity. It doesn't corrode in salt air — unlike steel or aluminum. It resists UV degradation better than vinyl, which can fade and become brittle in Fort Lauderdale's intense sun. It is fire-resistant. And it accepts paint finishes that can be refreshed when the surface weathers, extending the product's effective service life well beyond that of vinyl siding's factory finish.
Can siding be installed over existing stucco in Fort Lauderdale?
In most cases, yes — siding can be installed over existing stucco where the stucco is sound and provides a suitable base for the furring strips and siding attachment. The existing stucco is typically left in place, furring strips are fastened through the stucco into the structural framing, and the housewrap and siding are installed over the furring. Where existing stucco is significantly deteriorated or delaminated, removal before siding installation is the better approach. We assess the existing stucco condition during the site evaluation for each siding project.
How much does siding installation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Fiber cement siding installation in Fort Lauderdale typically ranges from $8 to $18 per square foot installed, depending on the profile, trim complexity, and substrate conditions. Vinyl siding is less expensive — typically $5 to $12 per square foot installed. Substrate repair, window and door flashing work, and disposal of existing cladding are additional line items that are specified separately in our project proposal after site assessment.
How long does siding installation take?
Fiber cement siding installation on a typical Fort Lauderdale single-story home takes 5–10 days including preparation and trim work. Larger homes, multi-story applications, and projects requiring significant substrate repair take longer. We provide a project-specific timeline at the proposal stage based on the scope confirmed during the site assessment.
