Siding carries out two jobs together, and merely one of them is visible. It establishes how your home appears at the road — and it serves as the shield that holds water away from the structure beneath it. If siding lets go, the cost is rarely restricted to the surface.

The Roofing Company takes on exterior work for residents across Westmoreland County Pennsylvania. We have deliberately focused our siding offering on James Hardie fiber cement systems, owing to the way fiber cement hold up in a climate like Pennsylvania’s.

The Reason We Recommend James Hardie Systems

Fiber cement holds up differently from traditional vinyl and from natural wood in the specific ways that are decisive locally:

• The material does not distort or deform under summer sun the way certain plastic materials can.
• Freezing and thawing action is specifically the condition that wears down a lot of siding options in Pennsylvania, and the material is built to handle it.
• Wood-boring insects do not attack it, and it won't decay the way timber siding will.
• The material holds color considerably longer than many alternatives, which cuts what you spend on it later.
• Fire resistance — fiber cement is non-combustible, which counts considerably more to some homeowners than others.

None of this holds up a careless install, however. Fiber cement has defined handling standards — gaps, nailing, flashing, and joint treatment — and handling them badly negates the reason you chose it in the first place. It may also jeopardize the factory guarantee.

Siding Jobs We Handle

• Complete siding replacement – taking off the existing siding, checking whatever is behind it, and installing the replacement system properly.
• Siding patch work – in cases where an issue is limited and a full redo is not called for.
• First-time siding and trim installation.
• New siding alongside a roof replacement – scheduling the two in one pass often proves more economical on a project and on the budget.

Where Siding and Trim Installations Cause Trouble

Like a roof, the problems are almost always at the details rather than across the open areas:

• Weather flashing at window openings and door openings. Moisture which gets behind an opening and has no path to escape will stay within the assembly.
• The water-resistive barrier beneath the boards. The siding is not a sealed skin; whatever sits under it does a great deal of the real job.
• Clearances. Fiber cement has mandated clearances at grade, at roof lines, and at projecting surfaces. Eliminating these up seems neater and creates failures down the road.
• Attachment along with seam treatment. These are specified by the manufacturer deliberately.

The Things That Determine Siding Cost

The material costs above standard vinyl in both as the product and in installation — fiber cement is considerably heavier, gets cut by other means, and carries installation standards which absorb real time to meet. What moves the number beyond that choice:

• Taking off the current exterior, and the condition turns out to be under the old material. The wall board damage and a failed drainage barrier are common things to find and are not visible beforehand.
• Corner and trim detail. Outside corners, window and door casings, band and water table detail. That scope represents where an exterior installation either looks considered else looks unfinished, and trim stays labor.
• Wall complexity. Gables, returns, bays, and each further window.
• Continuous insulation and a rainscreen assemblies. Genuine performance gains worth considering at the point at which the exterior is off, and available at almost no other time.

The Ten-Year Installation Guarantee

With this material, the workmanship is not a side matter from the system — it determines whether the manufacturer warranty stands at all. This is why eligible exterior jobs through The Roofing Company come with a ten-year Installation Guarantee. If an eligible problem trace back to the way we installed it inside that decade, we return and correct it — without a bill.

The separate factory warranty on the material itself holds in addition to ours, according to the manufacturer's requirements. Given that the product coverage may hinge on proper installation, those two are considerably more entwined than they are with certain materials.

Hiring The Roofing Company

We're a family-run business, three generations in construction. This shapes the way we price work: a specific scope that says exactly what will be performed, images of what we encountered, and an honest description of which elements are a problem now as opposed to what can reasonably wait.

We further run a veteran discount, and a customer referral bonus: when someone you send us books a full home project, we send $250 back to you. Program terms do apply.
