Siding Replacement in East Providence, RI
Local Siding Contractor, Based Right Here in Rumford
Siding installed by a building envelope consultant headquartered in Rumford, with the wall, house wrap and flashing fixed before the siding goes on.
Most full-home siding projects average about $17,800. Financing available.
GCR is based on Harlem Street in Rumford, so East Providence is home. We re-side houses in Riverside, Phillipsdale, Watchemoket, Kent Heights and Rumford, from older homes near the river to the post-war capes and ranches that make up much of the city.
Every GCR siding job is built from the wall out. We repair the sheathing, install the house wrap and flash every window, door and penetration before a single piece of siding goes on, because that layer is what actually keeps water out.
What We Find on East Providence Homes
Many East Providence capes and ranches were sided decades ago over a wall with little or no house wrap. When the old siding comes off we usually find rot under the windows, unflashed vents and hose bibs, and soft sheathing where water has been collecting at the base of the wall.
Capes, Ranches and Older Homes
Capes and ranches are some of the best homes to re-side: the walls are manageable, and fixing the wrap and flashing makes a real difference in how the house holds up. On older homes near Watchemoket and Phillipsdale we expect more repairs once the wall is open, and we price those after we see them.
How We Re-Side a East Providence Home
- Remove the old siding, including extra layers.
- Inspect the wall and show you what we find, with photos.
- Repair only the damaged sheathing.
- Install new house wrap, lapped so water drains down and out.
- Flash every window, door and penetration into the wrap.
- Install the siding and trim to the manufacturer's specifications, then walk the job with you.
