Siding installers are pretty clever people, especially those crews
working at long established shops. They routinely do minor finish
carpentry as part of their installations. Look over the firms in the
yellow pages and give one a call. They will send out a field estimator
to give you a quote and you can decide whether it is fair to your
budget.
