What You Get When It's Done Right

You get siding that actually protects your investment. Vinyl that’s installed with proper insulation and flashing keeps moisture out and comfort in. Your house looks sharp, your utility bills drop, and you’re done dealing with exterior maintenance headaches.

The difference isn’t just in how it looks—it’s in how it performs when Connecticut throws everything it has at your house. Wind, rain, snow, and temperature swings that would damage other materials just bounce off quality vinyl siding that’s installed correctly.

We’ve been handling siding projects in East Lyme and surrounding Connecticut towns for years. We understand what coastal weather does to homes here and how to install siding that actually protects against it.

Our approach is straightforward: assess what your house needs, explain what we’re going to do, and complete the job without surprises or excuses.

Siding Installation Process Connecticut

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current siding and underlying structure. We check for damage, measure everything, and identify any issues that need addressing before new siding goes on. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your project.

Next, we remove old siding carefully to avoid damaging your house. We inspect and repair any sheathing or structural issues, then install proper house wrap and insulation. This step is where most of your energy savings come from—and where corner-cutting contractors usually skip steps.

Finally, we install your new vinyl siding with proper spacing, flashing, and trim work. Every piece gets positioned correctly so water runs off instead of finding ways behind your siding. We clean up completely and walk you through everything we did.

Vinyl Siding Replacement East Lyme

What's Included in Your Installation

Your siding installation includes complete removal of old materials, proper disposal, and thorough prep work. We handle house wrap, insulation upgrades, and any necessary repairs to sheathing or trim before new siding goes on.

You get quality vinyl siding installed according to manufacturer specifications with proper expansion gaps, secure fastening, and weatherproof flashing around windows and doors. All trim work, corner pieces, and finishing details are included.

East Lyme homes face specific challenges from coastal weather patterns and temperature swings. We account for these conditions in material selection and installation techniques. Your installation comes with manufacturer material warranties and our workmanship guarantee.

How long does vinyl siding installation take on an average East Lyme home?

Most single-family homes in East Lyme take 3-7 days for complete siding installation, depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines, especially during Connecticut’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. Prep work like removing old siding and making repairs typically takes 1-2 days, with the actual siding installation following. We don’t rush jobs to hit artificial deadlines—your house gets the time it needs for proper installation.

What's the cost difference between vinyl siding and other materials in Connecticut?

Vinyl siding typically costs 30-50% less than fiber cement and significantly less than wood or composite materials for both installation and long-term maintenance. In Connecticut’s climate, vinyl’s durability advantage becomes even more valuable because you avoid the painting, staining, and repair costs that other materials require. While premium vinyl costs more upfront than basic options, the energy savings and reduced maintenance make it cost-effective over time. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you can make informed decisions.

Will new vinyl siding actually reduce my heating and cooling costs?

Properly installed vinyl siding with updated insulation and house wrap typically reduces energy costs by 15-25% in Connecticut homes. The biggest savings come from eliminating air leaks and adding insulation during installation, not just from the siding itself. Older homes in East Lyme often have minimal or damaged insulation behind existing siding, so replacement becomes an opportunity to upgrade your home’s thermal performance. We can show you exactly what insulation improvements are possible during your siding project and estimate potential energy savings.

How do I know if my current siding needs complete replacement?

Signs that indicate replacement over repair include widespread cracking, warping, or loose panels; visible rot or damage to underlying materials; frequent painting or maintenance needs; and high energy bills despite other efficiency improvements. In East Lyme’s coastal environment, siding that’s over 20 years old often has hidden moisture damage that makes replacement more cost-effective than extensive repairs. We can assess your current siding and give you an honest evaluation of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.

What happens if there's damage to my house when you remove old siding?

We inspect for underlying damage before starting and discuss any issues we find with you before proceeding. Some damage discovery is normal, especially in older East Lyme homes where moisture may have affected sheathing or framing over time. We handle necessary structural repairs as part of the project and explain what needs fixing and why. Our goal is to solve problems permanently, not just cover them up with new siding. All structural work is included in our workmanship warranty.

Do you handle permits and inspections required in East Lyme?

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections with East Lyme building officials. Connecticut building codes have specific requirements for siding installation, especially regarding insulation and moisture barriers, and we ensure your project meets all local standards. We’re familiar with East Lyme’s permit process and inspection requirements, which saves you time and ensures compliance. Permit costs are included in our project estimates so you know total costs upfront without surprises.
