For homes in Easton and the Lehigh Valley Area climate, we recommend several excellent siding options: 1) Vinyl siding—our most popular choice for its outstanding value, low maintenance, and variety of styles, 2) Fiber cement siding (like James Hardie products) for superior durability, fire resistance, and authentic wood appearance, 3) Engineered wood siding that offers natural beauty with enhanced moisture resistance, and 4) Composite siding combining the best qualities of various materials for exceptional performance. Each comes in numerous styles—from traditional lap siding to decorative shakes—and dozens of colors to match any architectural style.

For an average home in Easton (approximately 2,000 sq ft), complete siding installation typically takes 7-10 working days. The timeline depends on several factors: home size and complexity, siding type (vinyl is generally quickest, while fiber cement takes longer), weather conditions, additional services like insulation or trim work, and whether we're removing existing siding. Our installation teams are highly efficient, but we never rush quality. We'll provide you with a specific timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.

Adding insulation during siding replacement is highly recommended for homes in Easton and offers exceptional value. Options include: 1) Foam board insulation installed beneath the siding, 2) Insulated siding with built-in foam backing, or 3) Housewrap with insulating properties. Benefits include energy savings of 10-20% on heating/cooling costs, improved comfort with more consistent indoor temperatures, noise reduction, and potential utility rebates. This is the ideal time to improve your home's energy efficiency, as the incremental cost during siding installation is much less than addressing insulation separately.

Siding longevity in Easton varies by material: 1) Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 30-40 years with minimal maintenance, 2) Fiber cement siding offers 50+ years of durability with periodic painting (every 15+ years), 3) Engineered wood typically performs well for 30+ years with proper maintenance, and 4) Composite siding generally lasts 40+ years with minimal upkeep. Factors affecting lifespan include installation quality, local climate conditions, sun exposure, and maintenance practices. All our siding installations include warranties covering both materials and workmanship, providing long-term protection for your investment.
