Siding work in Mocksville and Davie County
Mocksville sits about 25-30 minutes west of our shop on Reynolda Road, off I-40 and Highway 601, and the siding work out here looks different from the dense subdivision work we do closer to Winston-Salem. Davie County’s housing stock spans 50-plus years of individually-built homes — the 1880s-to-1920s Victorians around the courthouse square downtown, mid-century ranches scattered across the county, and farmhouses sitting on multi-acre lots out along the country roads. That range is exactly why siding here is a job for crews who understand the envelope, not just how to hang a panel.
We bring the same standards to Mocksville that we bring to Clemmons or Kernersville. The difference is mobilization: longer driveways, more distance from the truck to the wall, and more planning around material staging on larger lots. Our in-house W-2 crews — no subs — handle the drive without skipping the detailing or the cleanup at the end.
Siding is a system, not just a covering
Most siding failures aren’t failures of the material. They’re failures of what sits behind it — the house wrap, the flashing at windows and doors, the kickout flashing where siding meets a roof, the J-channel details around penetrations. When water gets behind siding, it stays there and rots whatever wood it can reach. By the time it shows on the outside, the OSB sheathing has been wet for years. On older downtown Mocksville homes, that’s often where we find the real damage: layers of aluminum or 1960s-70s siding over sheathing that was never properly flashed.
Our installs assume water will get behind the siding eventually, so every element — wrap, flashing, drainage gaps — exists to give that water somewhere safe to go.
What we install in Mocksville
- Fiber cement (James Hardie): The premium standard for the Southeast. It doesn’t burn, rot, or feed termites, and it holds paint 12-15 years. We see it most on the larger custom and acreage homes around Davie County where owners plan to stay long-term. Hardie’s warranty depends on correct fastener type, blind nailing, and gap details — we’re trained on the spec.
- LP SmartSide engineered wood: A real-wood look with a treated coating that resists rot and termites. It’s the natural fit for the modern farmhouse builds going up on the county’s outskirts.
- Vinyl (CertainTeed, Mastic): A reasonable choice when budget matters, including rentals and outbuilding conversions. We install premium-grade only — not the thin contractor stock that warps in summer heat.
- Cedar shake: For the historic homes downtown where nothing else gives the right look.
What a proper install includes
- Full tear-off of existing siding, including old aluminum common on the county’s mid-century ranches
- Sheathing inspection and replacement of any rotted OSB or plywood
- House wrap (Tyvek or equivalent), properly lapped and taped — not stapled at random
- Window and door flashing with peel-and-stick membrane at head, jambs, and sill
- Kickout flashing where siding meets a roof — the single most common detail done wrong on older homes
- Trim and finish carpentry — corners, frieze board, water table, window surrounds
- Final paint on primed Hardie installations
Many Davie County properties also have detached garages, workshops, or pole buildings. We quote siding on those regularly, often as part of a primary-home project.
