"We used Integrity Windows and Siding back in 2012 to replace our siding and half of our windows (one of the windows did break shortly after installation - it was quickly replaced at no cost, no questions asked). Fast forward to 2023, we again sought out Integrity and Howard to install some of the remaining windows. Howard is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, explains options, kept us informed during the process and sells a quality window at a fair price. Mike, who has been with Integrity for 20+ years, was very careful during the installation - clearly he knows what he is doing! The windows look great, work great and keep us warmer. We highly recommend Integrity and Howard for your next project. We couldn't be happier."

Vinyl siding is generally less expensive than wood siding. The lower cost of vinyl is due to less expensive materials and simpler installation compared to the premium materials and rigorous installation standards of wood siding. While vinyl siding installation starts at around $6,000, wood siding involves higher costs for both materials and labor. If budget is a primary concern, vinyl may be the more cost-effective option.
With proper maintenance, wood siding can last 40 years or more. Regular cleaning, sealing, and staining protect it against rot, insect damage, and moisture. Maintaining it and making prompt repairs helps preserve its durability and appearance over the years.
Installing wood siding on a 1,500-square-foot house costs about $12,500 on average. This cost reflects the investment in quality materials and professional installation. You can reduce expenses by choosing more affordable wood types or handling some of the work yourself, though it's important to weigh the trade-offs to ensure lasting results.
Yes, you can replace vinyl siding with wood siding, provided your home's structure meets all relevant building codes. This process requires a thorough inspection of the underlying framework, proper installation of a breathable house wrap, and maintaining at least a six-inch gap from the ground for effective moisture management. When done correctly, this upgrade can enhance your home's visual appeal and durability.
Yes, new wood siding can sometimes be installed over existing siding if the original material is in excellent condition and the structure is sound. This approach requires careful evaluation of the current siding, consideration of the added weight, and adherence to clearance and moisture control guidelines. Proper installation ensures a durable upgrade and improved curb appeal.
