Residential Siding Replacement in Springfield, PA and Delaware County

What does a home siding replacement include?

A full replacement removes the old siding down to the sheathing, repairs soft or missing sheathing, adds a water-resistive barrier, flashes windows, doors and penetrations, then installs new siding and trim. On a Springfield, PA house from the 1950s, the sheathing and window flashing are where surprises usually turn up.

We price each of those steps separately so you can see where the money goes.

What we look at before quoting

• What is on the wall now. Vinyl, aluminum, wood or asbestos-cement shingles each come off differently; asbestos-cement is handled by a licensed abatement company, never by us.
• Sheathing. Houses of this age can have board or fiberboard sheathing rather than plywood. Soft spots get replaced before anything new is nailed up.
• Openings. Windows and doors set decades ago rarely have modern flashing tape. New flashing goes in as part of the job.
• Masonry joints. Where siding meets a brick or stone front, the transition needs flashing and a clean sealant joint.
• Trim and soffits. Fascia and soffit condition is noted, and wrapped or replaced if you want it done at the same time.

How long does siding replacement take?

Most full siding replacements on a typical two-story house take one to two weeks of work on site, longer for fiber cement than vinyl and longer when sheathing needs repair. HomeGuide puts a 2,000 square foot Hardie board job at 7 to 14 days. Weather and abatement scheduling can stretch the calendar.

Adding new gutters to a siding job

Downspouts are strapped to the very walls being resided, and the gutters hang from fascia that often gets new trim cladding in the same visit. If yours are dented, sagging or simply the wrong color for the new siding, you can add new gutters to the siding replacement. They are offered only alongside siding work, never as a separate job, and they appear as their own line on the written estimate so you can keep or drop them. Pick New gutters with a siding job on the form.

Should I replace siding or repair it?

Repair when the damage is limited and the rest of the siding has years left. Replace when damage is widespread, water has reached the sheathing, or the siding is near the end of its life. Angi suggests replacement once repairs reach about half the cost of new siding, and repair when they stay under roughly 30%.
