Siding Installation in Mount Pocono, PA

At nearly 2,000 feet, Mount Pocono gets the heaviest snow in the region — and it’s a town of A-frames, chalets, and second homes. We install siding built for that altitude and for owners who aren’t always here to watch it.

Why Mount Pocono Homeowners Hire Us for Siding

Built for the Heaviest Snow

At 1,988 feet on the Pocono Plateau, this borough sees more snow and deeper cold than the valley. We fasten and flash for that load — not for lowland weather.

We Work With Absentee Owners

Many homes here are weekend or seasonal. We manage the whole project remotely — quote, permit, install, photos — so you don’t need to be on site.

No Subcontractors — Ever

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

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 — fiber cement in cedar and board-and-batten profiles, insulated vinyl, real cedar, and metal. For chalets and A-frames, we match the mountain look while upgrading durability.
Transparent Pricing: You get a written, itemized quote covering material, labor, borough permit fee, and disposal. For out-of-area owners, we handle approvals and send progress photos throughout. Financing is available for qualified owners.
Local Portfolio Review: We show you completed work on comparable chalets, cabins, and lake-community homes nearby, so you see how we detail steep gables and snow-exposed walls.
Contract & Scheduling: Sign remotely or in person. The contract spells out the full scope, materials, permit handling, inspection, and the 10-year workmanship guarantee.

What Goes Wrong With Siding on Mount Pocono Homes

At this elevation, snow and ice are the dominant force — and second homes that sit empty for weeks rarely get problems caught early.

Heavy snow-pack crushing the lower walls. Snow drifts here pile high and stay for months. The weight and the constant melt-and-refreeze split bottom courses and force moisture into the wall.
Ice dams on steep A-frame and chalet roofs. The signature steep gables shed snow onto the walls below and form heavy ice dams. Meltwater backs up behind the siding and rots the sheathing where flashing was never done right.
Failed stain and rot on cedar and board-and-batten. The cedar siding common on chalets needs regular re-staining. On a second home that goes years between visits, the finish fails, the wood greys and rots, and small leaks go unnoticed.
Unnoticed damage on empty homes. A cracked panel or a wind-torn seam on an occupied house gets fixed fast. On a seasonal home, water gets in for months before anyone sees it.
Wind-driven exposure on open lots. Many homes sit on cleared or ridge lots with no windbreak. Driven snow and wind pull at any siding that wasn’t fastened with the right pattern and clearances.

Why Mount Pocono Conditions Call for the Right System

On the Pocono Plateau, winters are long, cold, and snowy — nearby Camelback averages around 50 inches of snow a year, and the high, open terrain here gets the full force of it. That snow-and-ice load is what stresses a siding system, so the install details decide how long it lasts.

Snow load and freeze-thaw: Months of snow against walls and endless freeze-thaw punish every joint and fastener. We use proper expansion gaps, the correct nailing pattern, and impact-resistant materials where the exposure demands it.

Ice-dam defense: Steep chalet roofs make ice dams almost inevitable. A full water-resistive barrier behind the siding catches the meltwater those dams force behind the panels — the number-one failure point on mountain homes.

Low maintenance for second homes: Fiber cement and insulated vinyl hold their finish for decades with no staining or painting — the right call when the house sits empty between visits.

The same ice and snow load that damage siding also drive ice dams and lift flashing on steep Pocono roofs. If your property has roof or gutter trouble at the same time, our emergency roof repair team in Mount Pocono can look at both on one visit.

Common add-ons on local properties:

Sill and bottom-course repair from snow-pack and ice damage — $6.50 to $9.20 per square foot, shown and approved (with photos for remote owners) before we proceed.
Upgraded ice-and-water detailing on walls below steep gables, where ice dams drive moisture behind the siding.
Lead-safe abatement on pre-1978 cabins (federally required when 6+ sq ft of painted surface is disturbed) — handled to EPA RRP protocol, quoted separately.

Completed Projects in Mount Pocono

In 2025 we re-sided an A-frame chalet in Mount Pocono whose cedar had greyed and rotted after years between owner visits, with ice-dam damage on the walls below the steep gable. We removed the failed cedar, rebuilt the affected sheathing, added a full water-resistive barrier, and finished in low-maintenance fiber cement with a cedar profile. We sent progress photos throughout, since the owners live out of state. The crew was on site five working days. Before-and-after photos are below.

Can you handle a siding project in Mount Pocono if I live out of state?

Yes — most of our work here is for second-home owners. Mount Pocono Borough requires a building permit for siding replacement, and as a PA-licensed contractor (#187000) we file it, schedule the inspection, and send progress photos throughout. You can approve the quote and any added repairs remotely.

What's the best siding for a chalet or A-frame in the Poconos?

At this elevation, the priority is snow and ice resistance plus low upkeep. Fiber cement is the strongest choice — it takes a cedar or board-and-batten profile that suits the mountain look, resists rot, and never needs re-staining like real cedar. Insulated vinyl is the budget-friendly alternative that still handles the cold well.

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 owner 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 sheathing damage, and voids most manufacturer warranties, including James Hardie’s. On mountain homes, removal is the only way to find the snow, ice, and freeze-thaw damage the old panels are hiding — and on a seasonal home, that damage is often months old.

How much does siding installation cost in Mount Pocono?

Full replacement runs roughly $11,600 to $28,400 for a typical cabin or chalet depending on material, with larger mountain homes and cedar restorations scaling higher. The table above breaks it down. Snow-related sill repair and ice-and-water detailing, if needed, are separate line items we approve with you first — with photos if you’re not local.

Can siding be installed in winter?

Fiber cement can — Hardie’s specs allow installation in temperatures colder than even Pocono winters usually reach. Vinyl is the limit: panels turn brittle below freezing and can snap during cutting. Given how long and snowy winters run at this elevation, almost all exterior work here is planned for late spring through fall.
