Roofing and siding contractors install, repair, and replace the two systems that form your home’s exterior shell — the roof above and the siding around it — along with the gutters and flashing that tie them together. Hiring one contractor for both means a single point of accountability, materials that work together, and no finger-pointing when a leak appears at the junction between them. Pete’s Builders provides roofing and siding services across Cheyenne, Laramie, and Scottsbluff, serving homeowners and businesses since 2015 with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
What do roofing and siding contractors do?
A roofing and siding contractor handles your home’s weather envelope from top to bottom:
- Roof installation and replacement — asphalt shingle, metal, and commercial systems.
- Roof repair — leaks, storm damage, flashing, and worn shingles.
- Siding installation and replacement — protecting and finishing your home’s walls.
- Siding repair — fixing hail dents, cracks, warping, and wind damage.
- Gutters — moving water away from the roof, walls, and foundation.
- Storm and hail restoration — inspecting, documenting, and repairing across the whole exterior.
Why hire one contractor for roofing and siding?
Your roof and siding aren’t separate projects — they’re one continuous barrier against water. Where they meet, at the roof-to-wall junctions, is one of the most leak-prone details on any home. When two different crews handle each side of that junction, small coordination gaps become leaks nobody takes responsibility for. One contractor manages the whole transition as a system, which typically means fewer callbacks, a cleaner result, and clear accountability. It also simplifies insurance restoration: when a single hailstorm damages both your roof and siding, one contractor can document and handle it all under one claim rather than you juggling two.
What siding options work well in Wyoming?
Wyoming’s hail, wind, sun, and temperature swings are as hard on siding as they are on roofing, so material matters:
- Vinyl siding — affordable and low-maintenance; look for impact-resistant grades given local hail.
- Fiber cement — highly durable and resistant to impact, fire, and weather, with a longer lifespan.
- Metal siding — very durable and low-maintenance, standing up well to wind and hail.
- Engineered wood — the look of wood with better durability and less upkeep.
The right choice depends on your home, budget, and how much hail protection you want — a professional assessment weighs the trade-offs honestly.
What are the signs your siding needs attention?
Watch for: cracks, holes, or dents (often hail damage); warping or buckling panels; peeling paint or rot on wood siding; loose or missing sections after high wind; moisture or mold on interior walls, which can signal water getting behind the siding; and rising energy bills, which may point to failing insulation behind damaged panels. Like roofing, siding problems worsen quietly — water that gets behind a panel rots sheathing and framing long before anything shows inside.
How do you choose a roofing and siding contractor near you?
Apply the same standards you would to any major hire:
- Licensed and insured in your state, with liability and workers’ compensation.
- Locally established with a physical address and a real track record nearby.
- Written, itemized estimates covering materials, labor, timeline, and warranty.
- Workmanship warranty — the company standing behind its own labor.
- Insurance-claim experience for hail and wind damage.
- Recent local references.
Be cautious of storm-chasing crews that appear after a hailstorm demanding cash up front, and of bids far below every other estimate — both usually end badly.
How do roofing and siding work together?
Think of your home as a shell. The roof sheds water down; the siding sheds it away from the walls; the gutters carry it clear of the foundation; and flashing seals every transition between them. If any one piece fails, the others can’t compensate — water simply finds the gap. This is why a contractor who understands the whole envelope will check your siding while inspecting your roof, and check the roof-to-wall flashing while replacing siding. Treating them as one system is what actually keeps a home dry.

Should you replace roofing and siding at the same time?
If both are aging or a single storm damaged them together, doing the work at once often makes practical and financial sense. You share mobilization costs — one setup, one crew, one project — rather than paying twice. You get a properly integrated result, because the flashing and transitions between roof and siding are detailed as one continuous system instead of being handed off between contractors. You go through one disruption instead of two. And with insurance restoration, a single claim covering both is usually simpler and faster than filing separately. That said, replacing both isn’t always necessary — if your roof is failing but your siding has years of life left, a good contractor will say so rather than upsell you. The honest approach is a full exterior inspection that tells you the actual condition of each, so you can decide whether to do them together, stage them over time, or address just the one that needs it now.
Frequently asked questions
What does a roofing and siding contractor do?
They install, repair, and replace your home’s exterior envelope — the roof, siding, gutters, and the flashing that ties them together — and handle storm and hail damage restoration across all of it.
Should I hire one contractor for both roofing and siding?
Yes, in most cases. The roof-to-wall junction is a common leak point, and one contractor managing the whole transition means fewer gaps, clearer accountability, and simpler insurance claims when one storm damages both.
What is the best siding for Wyoming’s climate?
Fiber cement and metal siding stand up especially well to hail, wind, and sun, while impact-resistant vinyl offers strong value. The right choice depends on your home, budget, and desired durability.
Does insurance cover siding damage from hail?
Often yes. When hail or wind causes the damage, homeowners insurance may cover repair or replacement minus your deductible, provided the damage is properly documented by a professional inspection.
