Siding Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your home’s current condition and discuss your goals. We measure everything, check for underlying issues, and explain your material options without pushing unnecessary upgrades.

Next, we handle permits and order materials. Installation starts with proper preparation – protecting landscaping, removing old siding carefully, and addressing any sheathing issues we find.

The actual installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. We install house wrap, insulation, and siding with proper overlap and fastening. Final walkthrough ensures everything meets our standards and yours before we consider the job complete.

What's Included In Your Installation

Complete siding replacement includes removal of existing materials, disposal, and proper preparation of your home’s exterior. We install house wrap and insulation where needed to improve energy efficiency.

You get quality vinyl siding in your choice of colors and styles, professionally installed with stainless steel fasteners. All trim work, soffit, and fascia coordination is handled as part of the project.

Lyme’s coastal location means we pay extra attention to moisture barriers and ventilation. Your installation includes proper flashing around windows and doors, plus cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it.

How long does vinyl siding installation take on a typical home?

Most residential siding projects in Lyme take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines, especially during Connecticut’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and communicate any delays immediately. Preparation work like removing old siding and addressing underlying issues often takes longer than the actual installation, but rushing this phase leads to problems later.

What's the difference between cheap and quality vinyl siding?

Thickness makes the biggest difference. Quality vinyl siding is thicker, resists impact better, and holds its color longer. Cheap siding looks fine initially but fades, cracks, and warps within a few years. The installation matters just as much – proper fastening, adequate expansion gaps, and correct overlap prevent most siding failures. You’ll spend more upfront for quality materials and installation, but you avoid replacement costs and constant repairs down the road.

Do I need permits for siding replacement in Lyme?

Usually yes, especially for complete siding replacement projects. Lyme requires permits for most exterior work to ensure proper installation and code compliance. We handle permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically adds a week to project timelines but protects you legally and ensures the work meets current building standards. Skipping permits can cause issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims.

How does vinyl siding perform in Connecticut's coastal climate?

Vinyl siding handles coastal conditions well when properly installed. Salt air doesn’t cause corrosion like it does with metal siding, and vinyl won’t rot like wood in humid conditions. The key is proper installation with adequate ventilation behind the siding to prevent moisture buildup. Quality vinyl siding expands and contracts with temperature changes without cracking, making it ideal for Connecticut’s temperature swings. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners and proper flashing to ensure long-term performance.

What maintenance does vinyl siding require after installation?

Very little compared to other siding materials. Annual washing with a garden hose removes most dirt and mildew. Stubborn stains come off with mild detergent and a soft brush. You’ll never need to paint, stain, or seal vinyl siding. Occasionally check for loose pieces after severe storms, but quality installation rarely has issues. The biggest maintenance task is keeping gutters clean so water doesn’t overflow onto the siding, but that’s true for any exterior material.

How much does vinyl siding installation cost in Lyme?

Costs vary significantly based on your home’s size, current condition, and material choices. Basic vinyl siding installation typically ranges from $8-15 per square foot installed, while premium options can reach $20+ per square foot. Additional costs include permit fees, disposal of old materials, and any necessary repairs to underlying sheathing. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific project. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners who prefer to spread payments over time.
