Siding
Upgrade Your Home With Durable, Low-Maintenance Protection
Siding replacement protects your home from moisture, wind, and long-term wear while improving curb appeal. For many homeowners, it’s an upgrade you only want to do once, which is why material selection and installation quality matter. We install trusted products, including Diamond Kote options, with careful preparation and attention to detail. The result is siding that looks clean, performs in Montana weather, and holds up for years to come.
- Built for Montana Weather: Materials selected to handle wind, moisture, and seasonal temperature swings.
- Clear Scope & Pricing: Detailed estimates so you know exactly what’s included before work begins.
- Craftsmanship Backed by Warranty: Every project is covered by our 2-year craftsmanship warranty.
Windows
Improve Comfort, Efficiency, and Everyday Living
Window replacement improves energy efficiency, reduces drafts, and refreshes the look of your home. Proper installation is just as important as the product itself, especially in Montana’s changing seasons. We supply and install quality windows, including Coeur d’Alene Windows, with precise measurements and clean finish work. When installed correctly, new windows make your home quieter, more comfortable, and easier to maintain.
- Proper Fit & Sealing: Installed to prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion.
- Energy-Conscious Options: Products designed to improve year-round comfort.

“We have had Chad complete several large projects for us...

“We hired MCLC Construction to extend our roof to cover our patio. I had a vision of what I wanted, I showed Chad at MCLC some pictures of designs that I liked. We worked together to come up with a design that work for our space. I am extremely please with the extended roof and with the finishing work that MCLC did to ensure the new roof didn’t look like an addition and it was part of the original house.”

FAQ
Do I need a general contractor for siding, roofing, or window replacement?
In most cases, yes. Hiring a general contractor means you have one person responsible for the full construction project, instead of trying to coordinate multiple crews on your own. That includes planning, materials, scheduling, and making sure everything comes together correctly.
As a residential general contractor, we handle exterior projects like siding, roofing, windows, and doors from start to finish. That gives the property owner a clear point of contact and helps avoid miscommunication or delays between different trades.
- One team managing the full project
- Clear communication from start to finish
- Less stress for the homeowner
How do I know what’s included in the estimate?
This is where many projects go wrong. We focus on providing clear proposals with detailed descriptions so you know exactly what is included before any construction work begins. That means materials, scope, and expectations are all outlined upfront.
We also review everything with you in person so there are no assumptions. If something changes, it gets discussed first. The goal is to eliminate surprises and give the project owner confidence in what they’re agreeing to.
- Clear scope before work starts
- Materials and labor explained upfront
- No hidden costs or vague allowances
Will the price change after the project starts?
Our goal is to avoid that entirely. One of the biggest frustrations in the construction industry is pricing that changes mid-project. We prevent that by taking time during the planning phase to understand the full scope before presenting a proposal.
If something unexpected comes up, like hidden damage behind siding or roofing, we talk through it with you before moving forward. No work gets added without your approval. That keeps the construction project transparent and in your control as the property owner.
- No bait-and-switch pricing
- Changes discussed before any additional work
- Clear communication throughout the job
How long will my project take from start to finish?
Every project is different, but we provide a clear construction schedule based on the scope of work before we begin. Smaller projects like doors or windows may take a day or two, while larger siding or roofing jobs take longer depending on size and conditions.
We stay involved throughout the job site to keep things moving and communicate progress along the way. You’ll know what’s happening and what comes next without having to chase down updates.
- Timeline discussed before work begins
- Updates provided throughout the project
- Efficient scheduling without cutting corners
Can you help with insurance claims for roofing or storm damage?
Yes. If your project involves storm damage, we can help you navigate that process. While we are not the insurance company, we can assist with documentation, photos, and communicating what is needed for your claim.
As your contractor, we help make sure the scope of work reflects the actual condition of your home. This gives the project owner a clearer path forward and helps avoid confusion during the claim process.
- Support with documentation and photos
- Clear explanation of needed repairs
- Guidance throughout the process
