Vinyl Siding Installation Horsham PA
When Your Home's Exterior Makes You Embarrassed to Come Home
Kevin from Fort Washington called me last fall standing in his driveway shaking his head. "Jim, my neighbors all have beautiful homes and mine looks like it belongs in a different decade. This old aluminum siding is faded, dented, and falling off in places."
His 1970s aluminum siding had taken a beating over the decades. Hail damage from three different storms, fading from UV exposure, and several sections that were pulling away from the house. The worst part was around his front entrance where everyone could see the damage.
Four weeks later, his house looked completly transformed with new CertainTeed Monogram vinyl siding in a rich charcoal color. "I can't believe it's the same house," his wife told me. "Now I'm proud when people drive by."
Quality vinyl siding installation doesn't just protect your house - it makes you excited to pull into your driveway again.
Why Vinyl Siding Works Perfect for Montgomery County Homes
Pennsylvania weather is tough on home exteriors, but quality vinyl siding handles everything our climate throws at it. Unlike wood that rots or aluminum that dents, vinyl siding maintains its appearance and protection for decades with minimal maintenance required.
Vinyl Siding Benefits Over Other Materials
-
Never needs painting or staining like wood siding requires
-
Won't dent from hail or flying debris like aluminum siding
-
Resists moisture infiltration that causes wood rot and insect damage
-
Available in dozens of colors that won't fade in UV exposure
-
Insulated options improve energy efficiency year-round
-
Easy cleaning with garden hose maintains like-new appearance
The cape cod on Maple Glen Road installed vinyl siding 15 years ago. While neighboring wood-sided homes need repainting every 5-7 years, their house still looks perfect with just occasional washing.
What to Do Right Now (Before We Arrive)
Document Current Siding Problems and Damage
Take photos of any loose sections, damage from storms, or areas where moisture might be getting behind the siding. This helps us assess what needs attention beyond just cosmetic improvement.
Research Color Options That Complement Your Home
Vinyl siding comes in many colors and styles. Consider your roof color, landscape, and neighborhood character. We bring samples to help you visualize different options on your specific house.
Plan for Complete Exterior Coordination
Siding installation often reveals other exterior issues. Windows, doors, trim work, and gutters should coordinate with new siding for best appearance and performance.
Where Poor Siding Creates Expensive Problems
Energy Efficiency Loss Through Air Infiltration
Old or damaged siding lets conditioned air escape and outside air infiltrate. Insulated vinyl siding creates thermal barrier that reduces heating and cooling costs significantly.
Moisture Damage Behind Failed Siding Systems
Water getting behind siding causes wood rot, insulation damage, and interior moisture problems. Quality vinyl installation with proper house wrap prevents moisture infiltration that destroys homes from inside out.
The colonial in Blue Bell had moisture problems for years before they discovered the old wood siding was allowing water infiltration. Replacing rotted sheathing and framing added $8,000 to what should've been just a siding project.

We examine your existing siding, house wrap, and structural condition. Identify any moisture damage or insulation problems that should be addressed during installation.

Preventing Siding Problems Through Quality Installation
Proper Fastening Prevents Wind Damage
Correct nail placement and spacing ensures siding stays attached during high winds. Wrong installation techniques cause panels to pull loose during storms.
Adequate Ventilation Prevents Moisture Issues
Proper soffit and ventilation integration allows air circulation behind siding. Prevents condensation that causes mold and structural damage over time.
