A fast-growing northwest suburb
Maize was founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1915, and for most of its history it was a small farm town northwest of Wichita. That changed quickly. The 2020 census counted 5,735 residents, up from 3,420 in 2010, and 2,289 housing units, up from 1,284. Most homes in Maize today were built in the last few decades, many in subdivisions with homeowners associations.
Newer homes, newer siding questions
When most homes in a town are relatively new, siding projects look different from those in older suburbs. Instead of rotted hardboard or asbestos shingles, Maize homeowners usually deal with:
- Hail cracks and holes in vinyl, concentrated on the walls facing the storm.
- Wind damage to panels and corners on homes near open land.
- Color matching when only part of a wall is damaged and the vinyl has faded.
- Heat distortion on vinyl near reflective windows or dark surfaces.
- Upgrades from builder-grade vinyl to thicker, insulated or fiber cement siding.
Builder-grade vinyl and hail
Many new homes are built with economical vinyl that is thinner than premium products. It looks fine when new, but thinner panels crack more easily in hail, especially in cold weather. When a storm damages several walls, an insurance claim may pay to replace the damaged siding with like kind and quality. Some homeowners use that moment to upgrade by paying the difference for a thicker vinyl, insulated vinyl or fiber cement. Look for certified vinyl products; the Vinyl Siding Institute's program verifies they meet the industry standard. See vinyl siding and best siding for hail in Kansas.
Insurance claims in a newer neighborhood
After a big hailstorm, entire Maize streets can need siding and roofs at once, and door-to-door contractors arrive quickly. The Kansas Insurance Department recommends taking photos before permanent repairs, getting more than one bid and being cautious about signing over your insurance benefits. See how to file a hail damage claim and storm chasers and door-to-door contractors.
Matching damaged siding
Matching is a common sticking point on newer homes. Even if the original product and color are still made, siding on the south and west walls fades, so new panels may not blend. Options include:
- Replacing the entire damaged wall so the color change falls at a corner.
- Using spare panels left by the builder, if you have them.
- Asking your insurer how your policy handles matching.
Heat-distorted vinyl
In tightly spaced subdivisions, sunlight reflected off a neighbor's low-E windows can concentrate on a wall and warp vinyl panels into waves. It is a known issue across the industry. Fixes include replacing the warped panels, adding screens or awnings to the reflecting windows, or using a more heat-tolerant material on the affected wall.
HOAs
Most Maize subdivisions have homeowners associations, and many require approval for exterior material or color changes, even when replacing like for like after a storm. Get approval in writing before ordering.
Upgrading a newer home
For homeowners planning to stay, a re-side can make a newer home stand out:
- Fiber cement for a painted look and better hail resistance. The national Cost vs. Value report showed fiber-cement siding replacement recouping more than its cost at resale in 2025.
- LP SmartSide for deep wood grain.
- Stone veneer to extend a wainscot or add a feature wall.
Permits
Maize is an incorporated city; check with the City of Maize about permits and contractor requirements. Homes outside city limits in unincorporated Sedgwick County fall under MABCD, where siding repairs of 400 square feet or less within 12 months are exempt from permits. See the permit guide.
