Siding Installation in Abington, PA

Abington has been building since the 1700s, so no two streets are alike — railroad-era homes, 1920s builds, and midcentury houses sit side by side. We read each home on its own and side it accordingly.

Why Abington Homeowners Hire Us for Siding

We Match the Method to the House

An early-1900s home in Glenside and a 1960s house in Roslyn need different approaches. We assess each one rather than running a one-size template across the township.

No Subcontractors — Ever

Your project is installed by our own factory-trained team. One project manager, start to finish, with direct accountability.

Careful on Tight, Dense Lots

This is a packed first-ring suburb with homes close together. We work clean, protect the neighbors’ property, and keep narrow side-yard access manageable.

Fixed Pricing & Workmanship Guarantee

The price we quote is the price you pay. Every installation carries a 10-year Monarch workmanship guarantee on the labor, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the material.

How a Siding Project Runs Here

Four steps, start to finish, handled entirely by our own crew.

Design Selection: We bring full siding samples to your door — fiber cement, premium and insulated vinyl, cedar, and metal. For older homes, we match a profile that suits the era; for midcentury houses, we focus on clean lines and efficiency.
Transparent Pricing: You get a written, itemized quote covering material, labor, township permit fee, and disposal — with a clear timeline. Financing is available for qualified homeowners.
Local Portfolio Review: We show you completed work on comparable homes nearby — across the area’s mix of eras and neighborhoods — so you see our detailing before you commit.
Contract & Scheduling: Sign at home on your schedule. The contract spells out the full scope, materials, permit handling, inspection, and the 10-year workmanship guarantee.

What Goes Wrong With Siding on Abington Homes

With housing spanning a century-plus, the problems here range from aging wood on the old stock to tired re-skins on the midcentury homes.

Rot in original wood on railroad-era homes. The late-1800s and early-1900s houses in Glenside, Roslyn, and other older sections carry original wood clapboard and trim that fails at the base and around windows after generations of weather.
Lead paint on the older stock. A large share of homes here predate 1978 and carry lead paint on exterior wood. Once we disturb more than a small area, EPA Lead-Safe handling is federally required.
Aluminum capping hiding decay. When older trim was wrapped in aluminum decades ago, moisture got sealed in instead of stopped. We routinely find soft, punky wood when that capping comes off.
Worn-out re-skins on midcentury homes. The ranchers and split-levels in Roslyn, Crestmont, and North Hills mostly wear an aging vinyl re-skin that’s now chalky, faded, and cracking — with discontinued colors that can’t be matched.
Tight-lot moisture and shade. Homes packed close together trap shade and slow drying on side walls. With about 50 inches of rain a year, those walls stay damp and grow mildew when siding lacks a drainage gap.

Why Abington Conditions Call for the Right System

This first-ring suburb just north of Philadelphia has a humid climate — cold, snowy winters and warm, wet summers, with about 10 inches of snow and close to 50 inches of rain a year. The freeze-thaw and steady moisture stress every wall, and the mix of old and new housing means the right answer changes house to house.

Material matched to age: On century-old homes, fiber cement takes a period clapboard profile and resists the rot that ruins old wood. On midcentury houses, insulated vinyl adds efficiency at a lower cost. We pick per home, not per price list.

Freeze-thaw on aged framing: Temperatures crossing freezing dozens of times each winter work moisture into every old joint. We install a full water-resistive barrier behind the new siding — something most older homes here never had.

Lead-safe handling: On pre-1978 exteriors, we contain and dispose of lead paint to EPA RRP standards, protecting your household and keeping the project compliant.

The same freeze-thaw cycles that rot old siding also lift roof edges and flashing on these older homes. If you’ve noticed leaks at the same time, our emergency roof repair team in Abington can look at both on one visit.

Siding Installation Pricing in Abington

The table below covers full siding replacement — tear-off, housewrap, basic flashing, and disposal. It does not include hidden wood-framing repair, common on the older stock and quoted separately once the wall is open. Pricing reflects the local mix of railroad-era homes and midcentury houses.

Material	Typical project	Price range	What’s included
Vinyl (entry grade)	Midcentury rancher, 1,400 sq ft	$9,400 – $12,800	Tear-off, housewrap, basic trim, disposal
Vinyl (insulated)	Split-level / twin, 1,800 sq ft	$13,800 – $18,400	Same as above + foam-backed panels
James Hardie fiber cement	Railroad-era home, 1,800 sq ft	$20,600 – $27,000	HardiePlank, HardieTrim, ColorPlus finish
James Hardie fiber cement	Larger older single-family, 2,400 sq ft	$29,200 – $38,800	Full-elevation Hardie, factory finish, trim
Cedar wood	Period restoration, 1,800 sq ft	$25,400 – $36,800	Material, prime, install — not factory finish

Common add-ons on local properties:

Lead-safe abatement on pre-1978 trim (federally required when 6+ sq ft of painted surface is disturbed) — typically $1,840 to $3,200 on an average home.
Wood-framing and sheathing repair when we find rot under old wood or aluminum capping — $6.50 to $9.20 per square foot, shown and approved before we proceed.
Soffit and fascia replacement on older homes where the original wood has soaked through — common on shaded, tight-lot side walls.

Completed Projects in Abington

In 2025 we re-sided an early-1900s home whose original wood trim had been wrapped in aluminum decades earlier. When we removed the capping, the trim beneath had rotted from trapped moisture, and the home carried lead paint throughout. We contained and removed the lead paint to EPA standards, rebuilt the damaged trim and framing, added a full water-resistive barrier, and finished in fiber cement matched to the home’s era. The crew was on site five working days. Before-and-after photos are below.

Siding Installation FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about our siding services. If you have any other questions or need more information, feel free to contact us directly.

Does Abington require a permit for siding replacement?

Yes. Abington Township requires a building permit for siding replacement, issued through its code enforcement department. As a PA-licensed contractor (#187000), we file the application, pay the township fee (itemized on your estimate), and schedule the inspection — you don’t deal with the office.

What siding is best for an older Abington home?

It depends on the era. For a railroad-era or 1920s home, fiber cement is usually the strongest choice — it takes a period clapboard profile and resists the rot that destroys old wood. For a midcentury rancher or split-level, insulated vinyl adds efficiency at a lower cost. We match the material to your specific house.

What's covered under your warranty and guarantee?

Two layers. Monarch provides a 10-year workmanship guarantee on the installation labor, which transfers once to the next homeowner if you sell. The material carries its own manufacturer’s warranty: James Hardie fiber cement carries a 30-year non-prorated transferable substrate warranty plus a 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty, and premium vinyl typically carries a limited lifetime transferable warranty. We hand over the written documentation at closeout.

Do you remove the old siding first, or install over it?

We remove it. Installing over existing siding traps moisture, hides developing damage, and voids most manufacturer warranties, including James Hardie’s. On the older homes here, removal is also how we find the rotted framing and lead-painted wood that have to be handled correctly — sealing problems under new panels only buys a few years.

How much does siding installation cost in Abington?

Full replacement runs roughly $9,400 to $27,000 for a typical home depending on material and era, with larger older homes and period restorations scaling higher. The table above breaks it down. Lead-safe abatement on pre-1978 homes is a separate line item, usually $1,840 to $3,200, and any hidden framing repair is quoted after the wall is open.
