Exterior Services We provide:

Siding Installation and Replacement

Worn, damaged, or outdated siding compromises both your home's protection and its appearance. We install and replace siding on homes throughout Lexington and Richland Counties, recommending materials appropriate for South Carolina's humidity and temperature swings. We handle removal, installation, trim, and cleanup.


Gutter Installation and Replacement

Properly functioning gutters protect your foundation, your landscaping, and your roofline. We install gutter systems sized and positioned correctly for your home's roof pitch and drainage needs. If your current gutters are pulling away, leaking at seams, or inadequately sized for our rain events, we assess and replace them.


Window Replacement

Older windows are a significant source of energy loss in South Carolina homes, where cooling costs dominate the annual utility bill. We install replacement windows that improve energy efficiency, reduce outside noise, and update your home's appearance. We handle the full installation including trim, caulking, and cleanup.


Exterior Doors

Entry doors and exterior door frames take significant wear in our climate. We install and replace exterior doors, ensuring proper fit, weatherproofing, and security.


General Exterior Upgrades

If your exterior project does not fit neatly into one category above, call us. We assess what your home needs and give you an honest recommendation.

Why Exterior Work Matters in South Carolina Specifically

The Midlands climate is harder on exterior building materials than many homeowners realize. High summer temperatures, persistent humidity, heavy rain events, and occasional wind create conditions that accelerate the deterioration of siding, trim, caulking, and window seals. George Boulware's 50 years of South Carolina construction experience means we specify and install materials appropriate for what your home actually faces.

Frequently Asked Questions — Exterior Remodeling

  • Do I need a permit for siding replacement in Lexington or Richland County?

    For like-for-like siding replacement, a permit is typically not required. If the project involves structural changes or work on windows and doors, permitting requirements may apply. We assess your specific project and handle any required permits.

  • How long does exterior remodeling take?

    Siding replacement on a typical Midlands home runs three to five days depending on size and complexity. Window replacements are often completed in one day. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate.

  • Can I hire Ole South for just one exterior service, like gutters only?

    Yes. We offer each service individually. You do not need to hire us for a full exterior project to receive quality work on one component.

  • What siding materials do you recommend for South Carolina?

    Fiber cement siding performs exceptionally well in our climate — it resists moisture, holds paint well, and stands up to our temperature swings better than vinyl or wood in most applications. We give you an honest comparison based on your home and budget.
