We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
We remove existing siding carefully, preserving the underlying sheathing. This step typically takes between 2 and 7 days, depending on project size and existing siding type. Stucco and stone walls, for example, take longer. Of course, if you’re installing siding on a new wall or home, this step is not needed.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
We inspect the sheathing for rot, mold, or damage, making necessary repairs if needed. If we find any sheathing that needs to be repaired or replaced, we’ll take care of that before we begin the next step. This step may take a few hours to several days, depending on the damage to the existing sheathing.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
After sheathing inspection and repairs, we prepare your walls by installing building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh for protection against water damage.
Optionally, we offer the installation of a rain screen, which allows airflow between the sheathing and siding to keep the walls safe from the humidity outside. This step is well worth it, as it can add anything from five years to a decade to the life span of your siding.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
Siding installation usually takes between 7 and 10 days, depending on the siding type and home size.
It may take longer if you choose decorations such as custom trim boards around doors and windows, separating boards, fascia boards, etc. During this stage, we add trim boards, insect screens, flashings, and more to ensure a seamless, weather-resistant finish.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
We clean up your property, removing and recycling all construction debris, adhering to industry best practices. By the time we’re done, you’d never even know the work took place!

FAQ

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

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

Pittsburgh’s homes range from early 1900s houses in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Bloomfield to larger suburban properties in Cranberry, Mt. Lebanon, and Upper St. Clair. An on-site visit allows us to evaluate the condition of your current siding, look for issues caused by freeze–thaw cycles, confirm measurements, and assess the structure beneath. This ensures your estimate is accurate and reflects the real scope of the project.

What factors determine siding installation costs in Pittsburgh?

Costs depend on your home’s size, chosen materials, and the level of prep work needed. Pittsburgh’s older homes often require additional repairs, moisture-barrier upgrades, or insulation improvements. Steep hillsides, tight lots, and unique architectural features like dormers, porches, and brick transitions can also influence labor time and overall price.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Pennsylvania?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, including liability coverage and workers’ compensation. This protects your property and our installation team throughout every phase of the project.

Can you help if storm damage might be an insurance claim?

Definitely. Western Pennsylvania experiences strong winds, heavy rains, hail, and winter storms. If you believe weather has damaged your siding, we can document the findings, provide details for your adjuster, and guide you through the claims process.

Do you help homeowners choose the right siding colors and styles?

Yes. A mix of brick, wood, and modern exterior styles makes design guidance valuable. We’ll help you explore textures, trim packages, and color combinations that complement your home and perform well in Pennsylvania’s four-season climate.

Do you have examples of siding projects completed in Pittsburgh?

Yes. We maintain a gallery of before-and-after photos from homes throughout the Pittsburgh region. These images can help you visualize different siding materials, profiles, and colors.

Do I need to be home during the installation?

Not typically. As long as we have access to the exterior, our crew can work while you’re away. If we find hidden issues after removing the old siding, we’ll contact you immediately.

How long does new siding usually last?

Siding longevity varies by material, but most products last 25 to 50+ years. Fiber cement and engineered wood offer excellent performance in regions with cold winters and humid summers.

Do you remove old siding before installing the new material?

In most cases, yes. A full tear-off allows us to inspect the sheathing for rot or moisture damage – common issues in Pittsburgh’s older homes – and ensures the new siding is installed correctly.
