At 570 Remodeling, we protect your most valuable investment: your home.
Wilkes-Barre homes take a beating — the Wyoming Valley winters, the freeze-thaw cycles through March and April, the wind that comes down off the mountain — and your siding is the first line of defense against all of it.
From full replacements on older row homes near Public Square to targeted repairs on newer construction, we handle the full range of exterior siding work in Wilkes-Barre — here’s what that includes:
We install vinyl, fiber cement (Hardie Board), and wood siding on Wilkes-Barre homes. Vinyl is a smart, low-maintenance choice for the wet springs and cold winters we get here. Fiber cement is harder, more impact-resistant, and holds paint longer — it’s a good fit for the older row homes and pre-war construction common throughout the city where the exterior needs to stand up for decades. Wood siding is still the right call in certain situations, and when it is, we install it correctly with proper back-priming and moisture management built in from the start.
Not every job is a full tear-off. If a storm took out a section of your siding, or if freeze-thaw damage has buckled or cracked panels on one side of your house, we can repair or replace just what’s needed — matching materials and profiles as closely as possible. On older Wilkes-Barre homes, we often find moisture damage or rotted sheathing underneath failing siding, and we address that before anything new goes on. Covering up a problem doesn’t fix it.
Soffit and fascia take the brunt of ice damming and water runoff in this climate, and they’re often the first things to rot on older homes in Wilkes-Barre. Once that wood starts to go, it opens the door for moisture to get into the roof deck and rafters. We replace deteriorated soffit and fascia with materials that hold up — wrapping fascia boards properly so water can’t work its way behind them again.
Years of Wilkes-Barre weather — road salt spray, mold from wet springs, diesel soot near Market Street — build up on siding surfaces and make even newer homes look tired. Power washing before a paint job, before new siding installation, or just as standalone maintenance makes a real difference. We use the right pressure settings for the material — high-pressure washing on vinyl or older wood siding done wrong causes more damage than it fixes.
Gutters and siding work together. Gutters that are pulling away from the fascia, clogged, or improperly pitched put water right back against your siding and foundation. We install new gutters and can replace sections that have failed, making sure the whole drainage system is doing what it’s supposed to. When we’re already on-site for a siding project, it makes sense to look at the gutters at the same time.
If your existing siding is coming off anyway, that’s the time to address what’s underneath it. Proper house wrap and insulation under your new siding does two things: it keeps moisture from getting into your wall assembly, and it tightens up the thermal envelope of your home. On the older homes throughout Wilkes-Barre — many of them built with minimal insulation and no weather barrier at all — this step alone can change how the house performs through winter.
Wilkes-Barre homeowners have a lot of contractors to choose from, but not all of them know older construction, local weather patterns, or how to handle what they find behind failing siding on a 90-year-old city home — here’s why homeowners in this area call us:
Freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on siding fasteners, caulk joints, and panel seams. Wilkes-Barre winters aren't just cold — they cycle through freezing and thawing repeatedly, which works siding loose over time in ways that don't show up until water is already getting in. We install with that in mind: proper fastening schedules, appropriate expansion gaps, and sealed penetrations that won't fail after the first hard winter.
A tight exterior means lower heating bills through the long NEPA winters. Older homes in Wilkes-Barre lose a significant amount of heat through gaps in siding, deteriorated house wrap, and poorly insulated walls. New siding installed over rigid foam or quality house wrap isn't just cosmetic — it actually changes what you pay to heat the place from November through March.
New siding isn't a small purchase, and we don't treat it like one. We give you an honest assessment of what needs to happen, what it will actually cost, and what you can expect the finished product to look like. No inflated scopes, no change orders for things we should have caught during the estimate, no surprises when the invoice comes.
Siding, power washing, and gutters often make the most sense as one scope of work. When we're already mobilized on your Wilkes-Barre home, cleaning the exterior and addressing the gutters at the same time saves you money on labor and means everything gets done right in the right sequence — gutters don't get dirty again from power washing, and new siding doesn't go up next to clogged or failing drainage.
Here’s how a siding project with us works from the first call to finished installation:
Call us or fill out the contact form and we’ll be in touch to schedule your free in-home consultation — no pressure, just a real conversation about your home and what it needs.
We take on a limited number of siding projects at a time so every job gets the attention it deserves. If you’re thinking about new siding or have damage you’ve been putting off, it’s worth getting on the schedule sooner rather than later.
