Siding on the Gulf Coast isn’t just a cosmetic choice. It’s the first layer standing between your home and 100-inch rain years, blowing salt, and the next named storm.
Cat5 Construction & Exteriors has spent more than 20 years replacing siding on Pensacola homes, and that experience shows up in the details most homeowners never see: how the house wrap is lapped, how flashing is cut around windows, and how fasteners are spaced for high-wind zones. We build exteriors the way we’d want them built on our own homes, because most of our crew lives right here in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties.
Every siding project we take on starts with a full inspection of the sheathing underneath. If we find rot, termite damage, or moisture intrusion, we tell you before we cover it up, not after. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s why so much of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers.
Full tear-off and replacement of aged, cracked, warped, or storm-damaged siding. We remove the old material, repair the substrate, install a proper weather-resistive barrier, and finish with the siding system of your choice.
Siding for new builds, additions, and garages across Pensacola. We coordinate with your builder or handle the exterior scope ourselves, including trim, soffit, and fascia.
Wind-lifted panels, hail dents, woodpecker holes, and water damage. We match existing profiles and colors as closely as possible so repairs don't stand out.

Siding is only as good as the trim around it. We replace rotted fascia, install vented soffit for attic airflow, and wrap trim in materials that won't rot in Gulf humidity.
Pair your siding project with new windows, gutters, or roofing so everything ties together and gets done in one coordinated schedule.
Between Ivan, Sally, and every tropical system in between, Pensacola homeowners have seen what happens to siding that was installed to the minimum standard. Panels blow off at the seams. Water works in behind trim. Wood rots from the inside out. Twenty-plus years of storm seasons have taught us exactly where siding fails on the Gulf Coast, and we build to prevent it.
That means fastener schedules that meet or exceed Florida’s high-wind requirements, properly integrated flashing at every window and door, and drainage-plane house wrap installed so that water that gets behind the siding has a way back out. We also account for the daily reality here: salt air within a few miles of the bay, summer humidity that never quits, and UV that fades cheaper products in a few seasons.
We walk the exterior with you, inspect for hidden damage, and discuss material options that fit your home and budget.
A clear, itemized scope with product selections, timeline, and warranty terms. No surprises later.
We pull the permit, order materials, and give you a firm start date.
Our own trained crew does the work, with a project manager on site and daily cleanup.
We inspect every wall with you, pass the final inspection, and hand over your warranty paperwork.
When you hire a local siding contractor, you get someone who knows the permitting process at the Escambia and Santa Rosa building departments, understands the wind-zone requirements for your specific address, and has worked on homes just like yours, from mid-century block houses in East Hill to newer construction in Pace and coastal properties out on Perdido Key. You also get a contractor you can actually reach after the job is done.
Our project managers answer the phone. Our estimates are written, itemized, and honored. And our crews clean the job site every day, because your neighbors are our neighbors too.

We install every major siding type and we’ll give you an honest opinion on which one makes sense for your house, your neighborhood, and your budget.
The most popular choice for Pensacola homes, and for good reason. Fiber cement resists rot, termites, fire, and wind, and holds paint far longer than wood in our humidity. Available in lap, board-and-batten, shingle, and panel styles. Ideal for homeowners who want a long-term, low-maintenance exterior.
Budget-friendly, never needs painting, and modern wind-rated vinyl performs far better than the products from 20 years ago. We install heavier-gauge, high-wind vinyl with proper nailing so it stays on the house when the weather turns.
The look of real wood with treated, resin-bonded strands that resist moisture and insects. A strong choice for homeowners who want warm, natural grain without the upkeep of cedar.
Vertical siding with raised battens, popular on farmhouse, coastal, and modern Pensacola homes. We install it in fiber cement, engineered wood, or vinyl depending on your goals.
Siding is only as good as the trim around it. We replace rotted fascia, install vented soffit for attic airflow, and wrap trim in materials that won't rot in Gulf humidity.
Not sure what will look right? We bring samples to your home so you can see colors in real Pensacola sunlight, and we'll help you pair siding, trim, and accent materials that work together.
Straight answers to the things people want to know before they hire anyone to build on their property.

When comparing top-rated siding contractors in the Pensacola area, look beyond star ratings and check for a local address, a valid Florida license, proof of insurance, and reviews that mention how the contractor handled problems, not just how the job looked on day one. Cat5 Construction & Exteriors has built our reputation on referrals from Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pace, and Milton homeowners who've trusted us through multiple storm seasons.
Twenty-plus years of local experience, our own installation crews instead of subcontractors, installations that meet Florida high-wind code, honest inspections of the sheathing before we cover anything up, and a company that's still going to be here when you need warranty service. We're a Pensacola business, not a storm-chasing crew that leaves town after hurricane season.
Yes. Cat5 Construction & Exteriors specializes in siding installed for Gulf Coast conditions. Our crews use corrosion-resistant fasteners, high-wind nailing schedules, integrated flashing, and drainage-plane house wrap on every job. We've replaced siding on homes damaged by Ivan, Sally, and every tropical system in between, and we build to keep it from happening again.
Start with contractors that have a physical presence in the Pensacola area, then verify their Florida license on the DBPR website and ask for a certificate of insurance. Get a written, itemized estimate, ask who actually does the installation, and confirm there's a workmanship warranty. Cat5 checks every one of those boxes, and we're happy to provide documentation before you sign anything.
