What are the main types of house siding?

Vinyl, fiber cement, aluminum, engineered wood, natural wood and masonry-style claddings. In Springfield, PA the common existing types are vinyl and aluminum over older wood or asbestos-cement shingles. For new siding, most owners compare vinyl and fiber cement. HomeGuide's cost guide breaks down the price of each material.

Compare the two leaders on fiber cement vs. vinyl.

Can you paint vinyl siding instead of replacing it?

Yes, if it is sound and tight to the wall. Use a paint rated for vinyl and ask about color first, since darker colors absorb more heat and can warp panels. Check the siding maker's terms before painting. HomeGuide prices painting vinyl at about $1 to $3 per square foot.

These are published national estimates from the sources listed, dated where the publisher dates them. They are not a quote for your house; we set a price only after a free inspection and measure.

What is the best time of year to replace siding in Delaware County?

Spring through fall is easiest, but siding can go on most of the year. Vinyl is more brittle in deep cold and needs careful handling; fiber cement needs dry weather for painting and caulking. Angi notes spring and fall are busy seasons, so book early if you have a deadline.

More siding questions

Is new siding noisy to install?
Tear-off and nailing are loud during working hours. Most of the noise is in the first days, when old siding comes off.
Will new siding make my house warmer?
Siding alone adds little insulation, but a new weather barrier and sealed gaps cut drafts. Insulated vinyl adds a foam backing. Ask about both at the estimate.
Do I need to move anything before work starts?
Clear patio furniture, grills and planters from the walls, and take fragile items off interior walls on the sides being worked on, since nailing can shake them.
Can new gutters go up while the siding is being replaced?
Yes, as an add-on to a siding replacement, priced as a separate line on the estimate. Gutter-only jobs are not something we take on. Mention it on the form and the fascia and downspout spots get a look during the free inspection.
