We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
First, we remove the old siding and nails from the walls of your house, making sure that we don’t damage the underneath sheeting so that the new siding can be installed on it easily. Depending on the size of the project and type of siding that needs to be removed, this process usually takes between 2 to 7 days. If there is no old siding to be removed, this step is skipped.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
Once we clean your walls, we inspect your sheathing and look for possible damage to it, such as rot and mold. In case of damage, we repair it before proceeding with our installation. Fortunately, most homes do not require any sheathing repairs, but if they are needed, the cost is approximately $4 per s.f., including materials and labor.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
After your home’s sheathing has been inspected and any necessary repairs have been made, we prepare its wall for siding installation. We then install the rainscreen, which consists of sheathing, building paper and flashings. A rainscreen system protects your home from water damages and will prolong the lifespan of your new siding by more than 5-10 years by allowing the air to move freely between the walls and the siding.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
After all the prep work is completed, our team of experts will start installing the new siding, a process that typically takes between 7 and 10 days, depending on the type of siding you have chosen and the size of your home. During this process, we put in a trim board around windows, doors, soffits, overcap corners and fascia boards. We also install insect screens, flashings, dryer vents and light fixture boxes, and apply touch-up paint to the nails.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
The final step is cleaning up your property, and removing and recycling all construction debris in accordance with the best practices in the siding industry.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Pennsylvania?

Yes. We meet all Pennsylvania licensing requirements and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect both your home and our installation team.

What factors influence siding installation costs?

Costs depend on your home’s size, the material you choose, and the complexity of the installation. Removing old siding, repairing damaged wood, working around tight urban lot lines, or dealing with architectural details like bay windows, brick transitions, and porches can also affect pricing. Older Philly homes often require additional prep before new siding goes on.

Why do you need to visit my home before giving a siding estimate?

Philadelphia has a wide mix of home styles – from historic rowhomes in South Philly and Fishtown to suburban properties in Northeast Philly, Roxborough, and the Main Line. An on-site inspection lets us assess the condition of your current siding, check for age-related issues, evaluate the sheathing underneath, and measure accurately. This ensures your estimate reflects the real work needed.

Can you help if I think my siding damage may qualify for an insurance claim?

Absolutely. Philadelphia sees its share of heavy wind events, snowstorms, and occasional hail. If you suspect your siding was damaged by weather, we can document what we find, provide supporting information for your adjuster, and help guide you through the claims process.

How long does the siding installation process take from start to finish?

Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on material availability, weather, and your home’s layout. Winter freeze–thaw cycles and rainy spring periods can affect scheduling, but we keep you informed every step of the way.

Can you help with local permits or historic district requirements in Philadelphia?

Yes. Many areas in and around Philadelphia — including Center City, Chestnut Hill, and certain suburban townships — have specific exterior requirements, especially for historic zones. We help with permit applications, HOA paperwork, and design approvals if needed.

How does Philadelphia’s climate affect siding performance?

The region experiences hot summers, freezing winters, and constant freeze–thaw cycles. That means siding needs to handle moisture, temperature swings, and seasonal storms. Durable materials that resist cracking, swelling, and fading perform best in Philly’s climate.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Not necessarily. As long as our team has full exterior access, we can continue installation while you’re at work or away. If we uncover unexpected issues behind your old siding, we’ll update you right away.

Will you remove my old siding before installing new materials?

In most cases, yes. A proper tear-off allows us to inspect for hidden damage, moisture issues, or outdated materials. Philadelphia’s older homes often benefit greatly from a full removal and structural check before new siding goes up.
