Siding Contractors Portland replaces siding in Cumberland, Maine, a town that runs from Casco Bay at Cumberland Foreside inland through Cumberland Center to West Cumberland on the Windham line. Each job starts with the tear-off and any sheathing repair, then new wrap and flashing go on under the chosen siding, whether vinyl and LP SmartSide inland or fiber cement and cedar shingles by the bay.

New siding answers paint that keeps peeling and boards that let cold air in. Near the bay the flashing faces wind-driven salt rain, while inland the bottom courses face freeze-thaw and deep snow.

Cumberland's installed averages, drawn from many quotes, come to $1,000 to $1,250 a square for vinyl and $1,625 to $2,000 for James Hardie fiber cement. We look at every wall in person before writing a price.

Why Choose Us to Re-Side a Cumberland House?

Cumberland homeowners choose us because the town holds two different siding problems, and we price each house for the one it actually has. A siding replacement on a Foreside shore home is planned around salt rain, while one on a West Cumberland farmhouse is planned around frost and deep snow.

  • Foreside walls on Casco Bay wrapped and flashed for salt rain that blows sideways off the water

  • West Cumberland sills and bottom courses checked for the rot that deep snow leaves behind each spring

  • A written price up front, and any permit question settled with Cumberland Code Enforcement before work starts

  • One trade: siding replacement
  • Price in writing up front

What Siding Works Best Across Cumberland's Three Villages?

The best siding for a Cumberland house changes as the road runs inland from the bay. We lean toward fiber cement at the Foreside and LP SmartSide farther out, with vinyl as the honest budget choice anywhere in town.

Fiber Cement on Cumberland Foreside Homes

Cumberland Foreside sits on Casco Bay along Route 88, and its shore homes take rain carrying salt off the water through every fall storm. James Hardie fiber cement stands up to that weather without rotting, and we set it over taped housewrap so any water behind the boards drains back out.

Lots within 250 feet of the water sit in the town's shoreland zone, and Cumberland asks for a Shoreland Zoning Permit for construction there. We check with the town early whether a re-side on your lot counts, so the paperwork is settled before the schedule is set.

Vinyl Siding Replacement Around Cumberland Center

Around Cumberland Center, much of the housing is newer subdivision and custom construction with straightforward walls. When the original siding on one of those houses has faded or cracked, new vinyl is usually the smartest money spent in town.

Vinyl is the cheapest of the four sidings per square and needs no paint, though thin panels ripple on a long sunny wall as they heat up and shrink back in the cold. We price a thicker panel for those walls and bring color samples, so the new siding suits the rest of the street.

LP SmartSide on West Cumberland Farmhouses

West Cumberland is the rural end of town on the Windham line, where older farmhouses from Cumberland's farming days sit beside newer custom homes on bigger lots. On a farmhouse, the tear-off often turns up two or three layers of old siding over a sill that has sat in snow for generations.

LP SmartSide gives these houses the look of painted clapboards for less than fiber cement, and the boards hold up well to an inland freeze-thaw winter. Sheathing repair on an old farmhouse gets its own line on the price once the wall is open.

What Siding Replacement Services Do We Offer in Cumberland?

Our siding replacement services in Cumberland give the layers behind the boards as much attention as the side of the house everyone sees.

  • 01Vinyl and LP SmartSide inland, James Hardie fiber cement and cedar shingles near the bay, chosen for the village the house sits in
  • 02Old siding stripped and hauled away, with rotted sheathing and sills rebuilt before the new wrap goes on
  • 03Window and door flashing with new trim, plus rigid foam insulation added to the open wall if you want it

Farmhouses and older village homes in Cumberland can carry lead paint under later siding, and the EPA's lead-safe renovation rules apply when those boards come off a house built before 1978. Where an old asbestos layer is the concern, leaving it in place under new siding keeps the cost down, and we will price that option too.

How to Get New Siding on a Cumberland Home

  1. Brown and white sided home in Cumberland, Maine: Two men stand in front of a two-story house with brown horizontal siding, white trim, and gray roof, examining the facade on a sunny day with green lawn and pine trees visible.

    See the walls in person

    Each wall of your Cumberland house gets measured in squares, and we test the sills by hand where snow piles up each winter. The price then comes back to you in writing.

  2. Re-sided colonial in Cumberland, ME: Two-story house with white upper story and sage green lower story, brick chimney, multiple windows, gravel driveway, stone wall, surrounded by trees in autumn.

    Strip and rebuild wall by wall

    With any permit from Cumberland Code Enforcement in hand, we take the siding off one wall and fix its sheathing before wrapping it. New boards go on before the next wall opens, so only one side of the house is exposed at a time.

  3. Re-sided colonial in Cumberland, Maine: Two people standing in yard facing a two-story house with gray vinyl siding, white trim and windows, gray roof with chimney, surrounded by evergreen trees.

    Walk all four sides together

    Together we circle the finished house and look at the corners and window trim from the ground. Anything you want looked at again gets a second pass then.

How Do You Choose Siding Contractors in Cumberland, ME?

You choose siding contractors in Cumberland, ME by asking how they would handle your end of town. A crew that plans a Foreside re-side the same way it plans one in West Cumberland is ignoring either the salt or the frost.

Ask what happens when the tear-off finds a soft sill or a rotted corner post, and how that repair gets priced. A clear answer before work starts beats a change order halfway up the wall.

Then ask how the windows will be flashed and whether the housewrap seams get taped. On every Cumberland siding replacement we take on, each opening gets flashed and each seam gets taped before a single new board goes up.

Who, Where and When: Re-Siding a Cumberland House

Re-sided colonial in Cumberland, Maine: Two-story house with golden cedar shake siding, white trim, and copper-brown roof shingles set on green lawn with water visible in distance.

  1. Which Cumberland homeowners tend to need new siding?

    Cumberland homeowners who tend to need new siding own older village and shore homes where paint will not stay put, or newer houses whose first siding has faded and cracked. Buyers fixing up a house before they move in call us as well.

  2. Which walls of a Cumberland house give out first?

    The walls of a Cumberland house that give out first face the bay at the Foreside, while inland the trouble starts at the bottom courses where snow sits against the boards until April. Those spots get our closest look on the first visit.

  3. What time of year suits a Cumberland re-side?

    The time of year that suits a Cumberland re-side runs from the spring thaw into late fall, once snowbanks are off the sills and before cold weather stops sealant from curing. A visit in February or March lets the work begin as soon as the ground firms up.

How Much Does New Siding Cost in Cumberland?

New siding in Cumberland costs an average of $1,000 to $1,250 a square installed in vinyl, against $1,625 to $2,000 a square for James Hardie fiber cement. LP SmartSide sits between them at $1,500 to $1,875, and every band here is pooled from many siding quotes, so treat it as a guide to where a house falls.

House sizeWall areaVinylLP SmartSideJames Hardie
Small20 to 25 squares$20,000 to $31,000$30,000 to $46,500$32,500 to $49,500
Medium25 to 32 squares$25,000 to $40,000$37,500 to $59,500$40,500 to $63,500
Large32+ squaresfrom $32,000from $47,500from $51,500

Built from Cumberland's per-square averages and the wall area for each size. Stripping and hauling off the old siding is in every band, along with new wrap and flashing at the windows. Trim is in there too, while sheathing repair waits until the wall is open, since nobody can price rot through siding.

How much do cedar shingles cost on a Cumberland house?

Cedar shingles on a Cumberland house cost about $2,475 a square installed, which puts a medium house near $62,000 to $79,500. We recommend cedar mainly for Foreside shore homes that were built to wear it.

Why do two Cumberland houses the same size get different prices?

Two Cumberland houses the same size get different prices because of what sits behind the siding and how hard the walls are to reach. A farmhouse with a soft sill and a tall gable costs more to re-side than a newer colonial with sound sheathing.

Is covering the old siding cheaper in Cumberland?

Covering the old siding is cheaper in Cumberland, and it is a fair choice when the old layer contains asbestos and the wall under it is dry and solid. Where rot is likely, we recommend the full tear-off instead.
