Siding Replacement in Loretto, Pennsylvania
Loretto homes near Saint Francis University and throughout the surrounding hills deal with a longer, colder season than most of Pennsylvania. Richards Siding replaces failing siding with materials chosen specifically for that elevation and climate, not a generic regional recommendation.
Elevation-Rated Materials
We select vinyl and fiber cement rated for wide temperature swings, since Loretto sees more freeze-thaw cycling than towns at lower elevation.
Sheathing Checked First
Every tear-off includes an inspection of the sheathing underneath. Rot or moisture damage gets repaired before new siding goes on.
Built Around Older Homes
Many Loretto properties date back decades. We adjust our installation approach to framing that isn't always perfectly square.

Old Siding in Loretto Fails Quietly
Cracked caulk and warped panels let moisture behind the wall long before staining shows up outside. By the time a homeowner notices a soft spot, sheathing and insulation may already be damaged.
A Full Replacement Fixes It at the Source
We remove the old siding completely, repair any damaged sheathing, add a proper weather barrier, and install new siding sealed correctly at every seam and corner.
