The Importance of Proper Siding Installation for Your Home.
Siding lasts its full life only when it’s nailed and overlapped correctly. Gaps let water behind the panels, where it can rot the wall sheathing.
Choosing the Right Siding Material
Vinyl, wood and metal siding each have trade-offs in cost, upkeep and look. We install CertainTeed vinyl and polymer siding, and our estimator will walk you through the options for your house and budget.

How much does new siding cost in Lancaster County?
Siding prices vary more than roofing because jobs range from one wall to a whole house. For the siding jobs we sold from November 2024 to October 2026, prices ran from a few thousand dollars for one wall or a repair to $8,800 or more for larger jobs, and a full re-side runs higher. Our free estimate prices the material options side by side.
Which siding is best for a Central Pennsylvania home?
Standard vinyl costs the least and never needs paint. Insulated vinyl adds a foam backing that stiffens the panel and cuts heat loss through the wall studs. Polymer shake and shingle siding gives the look of cedar without the upkeep and costs more. We use CertainTeed siding, which comes in vertical, horizontal, shake and shingle styles.
How long does vinyl siding last?
Quality vinyl siding typically lasts 20 to 40 years. Correct nailing and overlap during installation matter as much as the panel, because siding that is nailed too tight buckles as it expands in summer heat.
Should I repair my siding or replace it?
Repair makes sense when the damage is limited to a few panels and the same profile and color are still made. Replace when panels are cracked or warped across several walls, when there is moisture or rot behind the siding, or when the color is discontinued and a patch would stand out.
Can new siding lower my energy bills?
Insulated siding can, because the foam layer reduces heat loss through the wall framing. Standard vinyl adds little insulation on its own. If energy savings matter to you, ask us to price insulated siding next to standard panels.
Is Greenawalt Roofing a siding company too?
Yes. Siding is one of our core trades, and Lancaster County readers voted us First Place for Siding in the 2026 LNP | LancasterOnline Readers’ Choice Awards, alongside First Place for Roofing and Spouting. We can replace siding, gutters and the roof in one project.
