BearTooth Builders installs fiber cement, vinyl siding, soffit systems, and window flashing engineered to resist 90 mph winds, subzero freeze-thaw cycles, and relentless UV exposure across central Wyoming.
From first-install fiber cement facades to emergency window flashing repairs, our crews handle every component of your building envelope — with precision and zero shortcuts.
Every project begins with a thorough moisture inspection and wind-load assessment. We specify materials rated for Wyoming's harsh climate zone before a single panel goes up.
See How We Work →James Hardie® and equivalent board products installed with climate-correct joint sealing. Resists rot, pests, and impact far beyond wood or vinyl alternatives.
High-insulation and standard vinyl siding in a full range of styles — Dutch lap, beaded, board-and-batten. Low maintenance with color-stable UV inhibitors.
Vented and solid soffit panels in aluminum, vinyl, or steel. Properly ventilated eaves prevent ice dams and attic condensation — critical in Wyoming winters.
Self-adhering flexible flashing tapes, rigid head and sill pan flashings, and through-wall drainage mat systems that keep driving rain and snowmelt out for good.
Corner boards, frieze, band boards, rake, and decorative millwork that completes the cladding system. We cut, prime, and install for a seamless, weather-tight envelope.
Hail damage, failed caulking, rotted panels, moisture intrusion — we diagnose and remediate siding, soffit, and flashing failures before they become structural problems.
Composed of Portland cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, fiber cement handles what Wyoming throws at it — 100°F summer days, -30°F January lows, 90+ mph wind events, and softball-sized hailstorms — without cracking, warping, or fading. It's the material we recommend most frequently, and for good reason.
Cement-based composition cannot absorb water the way wood does, eliminating the rot and mold cycle that destroys traditional siding in high-humidity or snow-melt conditions.
Factory baked-on ColorPlus® finish or field-applied exterior paint bonds to cement differently than wood, maintaining curb appeal for a decade or more between recoats.
No cellulose on the surface means insects have nothing to eat. This is particularly valuable in the mixed agricultural zones surrounding Casper.
From full re-sides on aging ranch homes to commercial soffit systems on new-build retail, our portfolio reflects the breadth and quality of our craft.

Anyone can hang siding. We engineer exterior systems that seal the thermal envelope, manage bulk water, and remain airtight through decades of Wyoming weather extremes. Here's what sets us apart.
We assess thermal bridging, vapor drive direction, and wind uplift loads before selecting any product — then install per IRC and ASCE 7 wind exposure requirements.
Our crews hold current James Hardie® and LP SmartSide® installation certification — required to activate full product warranties that protect your investment.
We provide a binding project calendar before mobilization. Daily progress photos are shared so you're never wondering what happened while you were at work.
We don't upsell. We specify the right product for each microclimate condition, budget, and aesthetic goal — then back every installation with a workmanship warranty.
All fiber cement, vinyl, and flashing products are sourced from US-headquartered manufacturers with Wyoming climate zone certifications — no gray-market imports.
Every estimate includes a full scope-of-work PDF specifying product names, installation methods, fastener schedules, and warranty details — so there's no ambiguity at invoice time.
After job completion we provide a full project photo set, all warranty registration documentation, and a 12-month check-in visit at no extra cost.
A transparent, five-stage process designed to keep you informed and the project on schedule from day one.
We discuss your goals, existing conditions, and budget to determine the right scope before any measurements are taken.
Full written scope with product specs, installation methods, timeline milestones, and line-item pricing. No surprises.
We provide physical samples and digital renderings to confirm color, profile, and finish before ordering any material.
Certified crews mobilize per schedule. Daily briefings and photo documentation keep the project transparent start to finish.
We inspect every fastener, joint, and flashing detail with you present, register all warranties, and document completion.
Not all cladding products perform equally in Wyoming's climate. This side-by-side comparison helps homeowners and builders make informed decisions before committing to a product specification.

At 5,150 feet elevation, Casper ranks among the windiest cities in the US. Add subzero January lows, hailstorm frequency, and intense UV at altitude — and the exterior envelope must be engineered beyond minimum code to survive 30+ years intact.
Casper's open basin geography places most structures in ASCE 7 Wind Exposure Category C or D. Our fastener schedules are designed accordingly — not just to code minimum.
Wyoming's front range is one of the most hail-active regions in North America. Class 4-rated fiber cement and impact-resistant panels can eliminate the need for frequent insurance claims.
Materials that absorb moisture will crack at freeze-thaw interfaces. We specify and detail products that drain freely and dry rapidly to resist cyclic moisture damage.
UV radiation increases roughly 5% per 1,000 ft of elevation. At 5,150 ft, Casper's UV index reaches levels that accelerate paint degradation on inadequately protected surfaces.
"After the June hailstorm destroyed our old vinyl, BearTooth did a full re-side in fiber cement. Three years later it still looks brand new. The flashing work around our bay window stopped a leak that had been plaguing us for years."
"Very professional from start to finish. They gave me a detailed written estimate, showed up exactly when they said, and cleaned up every evening. The soffit ventilation they installed made a huge difference in my attic temperatures that summer."
"I'm a property manager and have used BearTooth on four different buildings now. Their window flashing work on our 1970s strip mall eliminated every single moisture complaint from tenants. Responsive, skilled, and trustworthy."
BearTooth Builders was founded in Casper by tradespeople who grew up in Wyoming and understood that exterior cladding here is not a cosmetic choice — it's a structural decision. Our founder spent years watching imported construction practices fail in local conditions before building a company around climate-first specification.
Today we operate a crew of 20+ certified installers across Natrona, Carbon, and Converse counties. We handle everything from new-construction envelope packages to single-panel hail replacements with equal care and attention to detail.
Every installer on our team has completed manufacturer certification training and participates in annual continuing education on building science, moisture management, and code compliance updates.
We stand behind every project with layered warranty coverage — from manufacturer product warranties activated through certified installation, to our own labor workmanship guarantee.
Activated through certified HardiePlank® or equivalent installation. Transferable to subsequent home buyers.
Lifetime limited manufacturer warranty on qualifying vinyl products. Coverage includes fading, cracking, and impact defects.
Our own labor warranty covers all installation defects including flashing, fastening, and sealing failures attributable to our work.
