Siding and roofing share the same flashing details at every wall, and a siding crew that does not understand that will create roof leaks. We pulled every siding company Google lists in Royal Oak, MI, checked which ones actually have an address in town, read their reviews, and went through their websites to build this list.
How we chose this list: Siding companies are sorted by Google rating weighted by review count. Companies based in Royal Oak come first, and where the city has fewer than five we added the nearest well-reviewed companies and say where they are based. The Exterior Painters is ranked first because it is where we send our own customers; see the disclosure below. This list is updated for 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a siding company based in Royal Oak?
None of the siding companies listed here are based in Royal Oak. The Exterior Painters has offices in Rochester Hills and Plymouth. Michigan Siding and Deck Company is based in Waterford, about 16 miles away. A-1 Vinyl Siding Co. is based in Chesterfield, about 21 miles away. All three serve Royal Oak homes from those locations.
Should siding or the roof be replaced first?
In most cases, the roof should go first. Roof work can involve flashing and drip edge where the roof meets the walls, and tear off debris can scratch or dent new siding. Finishing the roof first lets the siding crew tie their work in cleanly afterward. If both are due, plan the timing so the roofer and siding contractor are not working against each other.
Do siding contractors need a license in Michigan?
Yes. Siding on a home requires a Michigan residential builder or maintenance and alteration license for work over $600. Ask any contractor for their license number before you sign. Manufacturer programs such as James Hardie Elite Preferred and LP BuildSmart are the credentials to look for if you want installers trained on a specific product.
Does Roofing Army install siding?
No. Roofing Army does roofing only. For siding and wood and trim replacement, Roofing Army sends its own customers to The Exterior Painters, which is run by the brother of Roofing Army's owner. If you are planning siding work and want to know the condition of your roof first, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Royal Oak.
