Siding replacement in Pittston, PA

One request instead of a week of quotes

New siding is one of the biggest jobs a house gets, and it is easy to lose a month calling around for estimates. This site gives you one place to start. It is a referral service. You fill in a short request, and we pass it to an independent local siding contractor who serves Pittston and the towns around it. They contact you to set up a visit and a written estimate. If no contractor can take it, we let you know.

You agree to any work only after you have seen the estimate, the contract and the material choices, and the plan makes sense to you.

Work you can send a request about

• Full siding replacement, the whole house or one elevation. See vinyl siding replacement.
• Storm and wind damage: torn, cracked or missing panels after a storm. See storm-damaged siding.
• Rot and moisture: soft sheathing, swollen trim, staining or mold behind old siding. See rot behind siding.
• A change of material: vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood or insulated siding. See siding materials.
• Soffit, fascia and trim that is worn, loose or letting in water or animals.

Houses in Greater Pittston

• Older housing. About 42% of homes in Pittston were built before 1940, and in Avoca and West Pittston it is about half, according to Census estimates. Many have been re-sided more than once.
• Snow and ice. The Luzerne County hazard mitigation plan notes that buildings built before 1940 may be somewhat weakened and more open to damage from heavy snow or ice.
• Wind. The same plan lists repeated wind reports of 50 knots or more for Pittston, Duryea and West Pittston between 2000 and 2024. Severe wind loss is still rated relatively low here by FEMA’s risk index, so most siding jobs come from age and wear, not storms.

Signs it is time to replace, not patch

• Warped, buckled or bulging panels that will not sit flat. Buckling is often an installation problem, so have it looked at before you assume the worst.
• Soft or spongy spots when you press on the wall, or trim that crumbles.
• Peeling paint or wallpaper inside on an outside wall, which can mean water is getting behind the siding.
• Cracks, holes and missing pieces in more than a few places.
• Faded or chalky siding across the whole house, if looks matter to you or you are selling.

One cracked panel is a repair. Several of these signs together usually mean the contractor will talk about replacing whole walls.

How a request works

1. Tell us about the house. Fill in the request form with your ZIP code, what you need, and a few plain sentences about the house.
2. We pass it on. We send your request to an independent local siding contractor who serves your area. If no contractor can take it, we let you know.
3. They contact you. They set up a visit, measure, and give you a written estimate. You decide whether to go ahead.

What to have ready

• Photos of each side of the house and close-ups of any damage.
• What is on the house now, if you know: vinyl, aluminum, wood, asbestos-cement shingles or something else.
• The look you want: profile, color, and whether you want to change materials.
• Insurance paperwork, if the damage came from a storm.

Questions to ask any siding contractor

• Will you remove the old siding or install over it, and why?
• What goes under the new siding (house wrap, insulation board, flashing at windows and doors)?
• What warranty comes from the manufacturer, and what comes from you for the labor?
• Who handles permits and dumpster or disposal?
• What is your Pennsylvania home improvement contractor registration number?

Under Pennsylvania’s Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, most home improvement contractors must register with the Attorney General’s office and put their registration number on contracts and estimates. Jobs over $500 need a signed written contract, a contractor may not take payment before the contract is signed, and you can cancel within three business days of signing. Check the registration number on the Attorney General’s website before you sign.
