Overcash Siding is a locally owned siding contractor serving Cross Plains, WI, a western Dane County village on the edge of the Driftless Area along Black Earth Creek, from our De Forest base. Since 1978 we have re-sided and repaired homes here, and we offer free estimates.
Cross Plains sits where the rolling farmland of eastern Dane County gives way to the hills and coulees of the Driftless Area, and that terrain shapes the community. Homes here range from those in the walkable village center along Black Earth Creek to properties set into the surrounding ridges, and the varied setting means varied exposure that a siding contractor has to account for.
From our De Forest shop, Cross Plains is a drive to the western side of the county, and we are glad to serve a village a bit removed from the larger suburban corridors. The housing mix leans toward established homes, many of which are reaching the age where original siding is due for replacement, along with newer construction on the edges.
The hillier Driftless-edge terrain and the moisture that follows Black Earth Creek can mean more exposure for some homes, with wind funneling through the valleys and freeze-thaw working hard at any weak seam. We install and repair siding with that in mind, paying attention to fastening and moisture management so a Cross Plains home stays protected across the seasons.
Siding for the Driftless Edge
Cross Plains' setting on the edge of the Driftless Area gives it character and also a few extra exposures. Wind funnels through the valleys, and homes near Black Earth Creek deal with additional moisture. When we re-side or repair a home here, we take that terrain into account, focusing on solid fastening and moisture management so the exterior holds up where a careless install would not.
Many of the village's established homes are simply due for new siding after years of hard Wisconsin seasons. As a locally owned, owner-operated business, we give honest assessments and free estimates to help homeowners decide when the time is right.
