About vinyl siding installation

Premium vinyl siding is the fastest way to a tight, low-maintenance exterior. Today's thicker panels come in clapboard, Dutch lap, board-and-batten and shake profiles and in colors that were not possible a generation ago. The projects shown on this site include CertainTeed Monogram vinyl siding, used to replace rotting wood clapboards and 1970s metal siding on Portland homes. Vinyl moves with temperature, so how it is hung matters as much as which panel you pick.

What the job involves

  • Old siding is removed and the wall is checked for soft sheathing and past leaks.
  • House wrap and flashing go on first, with extra care around windows, doors and roof-to-wall joints.
  • Starter strip, J-channel and corner posts are set straight and level so every course lines up.
  • Panels are nailed in the center of the slots and left loose enough to expand and contract through a Maine winter and summer.
  • Trim is wrapped or replaced with low-maintenance millwork so there is nothing left to paint.

Signs it is time

  • You are tired of repainting wood clapboards every few years
  • The existing vinyl is faded, cracked, or loose after wind storms
  • The budget needs a whole-house result rather than one premium wall
  • You want an insulated panel to take the edge off drafty walls

What affects the price

  • Panel grade and thickness, and whether it is insulated
  • Profile: clapboard, Dutch lap, board-and-batten or shake
  • Amount of trim, soffit and fascia wrapped or replaced
  • Tear-off and sheathing repairs
  • House height and access

Every job is priced from a free on-site estimate, with a fixed-price written proposal before work starts.
