Siding Contractors in North Yarmouth, ME

Homeowners looking for siding contractors in North Yarmouth, ME usually own one of two kinds of house: a colonial or cape built in the 1980s, or a farmhouse that already shows up on the town's 1871 map. Our siding replacement work on either one starts at the lowest courses, where snow rests against the boards from December into March.

North Yarmouth siding replacement is the subject here: new siding for a rural town of single-family homes, most of them built between 1970 and 1999, plus older farmhouses near the village center. The work covers the whole wall, from the old boards coming off to new boards going on over fresh housewrap.

Inland winters do the damage in this town. Snow banked against the lowest courses and ice at the eaves push water behind the siding, so we open those spots first and repair the sheathing before anything new goes up. North Yarmouth has no local historic review, which leaves the choice of material to the owner.

Averaged across many siding quotes, vinyl in North Yarmouth comes to about $950 to $1,200 per square, and LP SmartSide to about $1,425 to $1,775.

Why Do North Yarmouth Owners Hire a Siding-Only Crew?

North Yarmouth owners hire a siding-only crew because inland siding fails from the bottom up, and a crew that re-sides houses all season knows exactly where to look. Snowbanks and roof runoff work on the lowest boards long before the upper walls show any wear.

  • Lowest courses and sills opened first on houses off Routes 9 and 115, where plowed snow leans on the wall all winter

  • Village farmhouses re-sided with a clapboard exposure and corner boards that suit their age, even though the town asks for no historic review

  • The permit question settled with the North Yarmouth code office before your price is final, since siding is missing from the town's permit table

What Siding Suits a North Yarmouth House?

LP SmartSide suits most North Yarmouth houses, because it shrugs off a hard freeze and a chunk of thrown ice better than vinyl does and still reads as painted wood beside the old farms. Vinyl remains the smart call on a tight budget with plain, simple walls.

LP SmartSide on 1980s Colonials and Capes

A North Yarmouth colonial from the 1980s is now about forty years into its first siding, and the shaded wall facing the woods usually gives out first. We replace those boards with LP SmartSide lap, which arrives primed from the factory and takes paint in whatever color the house calls for.

On a wooded lot that shaded side stays damp longest after the thaw. We hold the bottom edge of the new boards well above the soil and leave the gap the maker specifies at every trim joint, so meltwater has a way out.

Painted Clapboards on Village Center Farmhouses

Around the village center and out along the old farm roads, North Yarmouth still has houses from the late 1700s and the 1800s, many with a connected ell or barn. These walls get painted clapboards in wood or fiber cement, laid at the narrow exposure the original boards had.

The town has no historic district and no design review, so the decision is yours alone. Federal lead-safe rules govern how old painted boards come off a house this age, and the EPA's renovation page explains what that means for a North Yarmouth farmhouse.

Sheathing and Sill Repair Where Snow Sits All Winter

Snow piled against a North Yarmouth wall melts by day and refreezes by night, and the water it drives behind the bottom boards ends up in the sheathing and the sill. When the tear-off shows soft wood there, we cut it out and replace it before any housewrap goes on.

Ice dams at the eaves do the same damage at the top of the wall, so we check the upper sheathing under the roof edge too. That repair is priced by what we actually find, and you see the number on paper before we close the wall.

    Settle the permit, then re-side

    North Yarmouth's permit table does not list siding, so we ask the code office about your house and file where a permit is needed. The crew then works one wall at a time, wrapping each section before it opens the next.

How to Choose Siding Contractors in North Yarmouth, ME

You choose siding contractors in North Yarmouth, ME by asking what they expect to find at the bottom of your walls, before anyone opens a color chart. A contractor who has re-sided inland houses brings up the sill and the clearance to the ground without being asked.

Next, ask whether they tear off or cover over, and what happens to the price if the sheathing turns out soft. The answer should spell out how rot repair gets priced, in writing, before the job starts.

Last, ask who deals with the town. On a North Yarmouth job we put the permit question to the code office ourselves, and the written price reaches you before a single board comes off.

Who Needs New Siding in North Yarmouth, Where and When?

White colonial home with new siding: Two-story white vinyl-sided colonial house with black roof, brick chimney, and white trim on large windows, situated on gravel driveway with stone walls and evergreen trees in North Yarmouth, Maine.

  1. Which North Yarmouth houses need new siding most often?

    The North Yarmouth houses that need new siding most often went up during the 1970s and 1980s and still wear their first siding. Farmhouse owners call us too, usually after one more summer of scraping clapboards that no longer hold paint.

  2. Where on a North Yarmouth house does siding fail first?

    Siding on a North Yarmouth house fails first along the bottom two or three courses and under the roof edges, where melting snow and ice dams send water behind the boards. Shaded walls on wooded lots come next, since they dry slowest after a storm.

  3. When should a North Yarmouth re-side be scheduled?

    A North Yarmouth re-side should be scheduled for late spring through fall, once the frost is out of the ground and the snowbanks are gone from the walls. We look at houses and write prices all winter, so your job is ready to start when the ground firms up.

How Much Does Siding Replacement Cost in North Yarmouth?

Siding replacement in North Yarmouth costs about $950 to $1,200 per square for vinyl and $1,550 to $1,900 per square for James Hardie fiber cement, installed. Each square covers 100 square feet of wall, and these figures average hundreds of siding quotes rather than pricing any one North Yarmouth house.

House sizeWall areaVinylLP SmartSideJames Hardie
Small20 to 25 squares$19,000 to $29,500$28,500 to $44,500$31,000 to $47,500
Medium25 to 32 squares$24,000 to $38,000$35,500 to $57,000$38,500 to $61,000
Large32+ squaresfrom $30,500from $45,500from $49,500

Installed North Yarmouth averages per square of wall. Each one includes the tear-off and haul-away plus new housewrap with flashing and trim, while sheathing repair gets priced once the wall is open.

What does cedar shingle siding cost in North Yarmouth?

Cedar shingle siding in North Yarmouth averages about $2,375 per square installed, which puts a medium house at roughly $59,500 to $76,000. We suggest it mostly for farmhouses that wore shingles once, since the hand labor puts it at the top of the range.

What pushes a North Yarmouth siding price toward the top of the band?

A North Yarmouth siding price climbs toward the top of the band on a two-story house with a long farmhouse ell, because every extra corner and window adds trim and flashing. Rot found along the sill during the tear-off pushes it higher still.

Can new siding go over the old on a North Yarmouth house?

New siding can go over the old on a North Yarmouth house when the wall underneath is flat and sound, and it is the lower-cost route. It makes the most sense where the old layer is asbestos cement shingle or lead-painted clapboard, which then stays sealed in place instead of coming off.
