Why Glenshaw homeowners trust us for Siding
Real, verified reviews from homeowners across PA.
Siding Built for Glenshaw's Hills and Weather
Glenshaw sits in the rolling hills of Shaler Township north of Pittsburgh, where older ranch homes and split-levels line the streets alongside newer construction. Richards Siding works on both, matching materials and methods to the age and style of each house we visit.
Familiar With Allegheny County Homes
From the brick-and-frame homes built in the 1950s post-war boom to newer builds off Mt. Royal Boulevard, we know how Glenshaw houses are put together and what their siding needs to hold up.
A Full Menu of Siding Options
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and repairs — whatever your Glenshaw home calls for, we install it correctly the first time, with attention to flashing and drainage behind every panel.
Estimates Before Anything Starts
We walk the property, explain what we see, and put the numbers in writing before any work begins. No pressure, no surprise add-ons once the crew arrives.
Glenshaw Winters Are Rough on Siding
Shaler Township sees real freeze-thaw cycles every winter — ice forms in seams and cracks, then expands as temperatures swing. Add in humid summers rolling up from the Allegheny River valley, and older siding in the 15116 area often shows cracking, buckling, or moisture stains behind the panels before homeowners even notice a problem.
Richards Siding Installs for the Long Haul
Richards Siding installs with correct expansion gaps and sealed seams so panels can move with the temperature without cracking. We check the sheathing underneath for hidden moisture damage before any new siding goes up, so problems don't get covered over instead of fixed.

Richards Siding works on single-family homes throughout Shaler Township as well as small commercial buildings along Mt. Royal Boulevard and Route 8. Every job gets the same attention to sealing, flashing, and finish work.
Seasonal Timing Matters
We schedule installs around Glenshaw's weather to avoid trapping moisture behind panels during humid stretches or installing in conditions that make vinyl brittle.
Preventive Checks Save Money
A short inspection can catch a cracked seam or loose panel before winter ice turns it into a bigger repair. We flag issues honestly, even minor ones.
Energy Performance
Older Glenshaw homes often have thin or missing insulation behind the siding. Adding an insulated option during replacement can noticeably steady indoor temperatures.

Why Glenshaw Homeowners Replace or Repair Siding
These are the issues that most often bring Glenshaw homeowners to us.
Freeze-Thaw Cracking
Water in small cracks freezes, expands, and widens the damage every winter until panels split or pull loose.
Storm Damage
Wind and hail off the hills can dent or crack panels, especially on older siding that's already brittle.
Moisture Behind Panels
Humid summers push moisture into gaps, which can lead to rot or mold on the sheathing if left unaddressed.
Fading and Chalking
Years of sun exposure leave older vinyl and paint looking dull or powdery, even when the siding still functions.
Rising Energy Bills
Uninsulated or gapped siding lets more heat escape in winter, driving up costs in older Glenshaw homes.
Pest Entry Points
Warped or gapped panels give insects and small animals a way into wall cavities.
Preparing to Sell
New siding is one of the more noticeable upgrades for buyers touring homes in the neighborhood.
Outdated Look
Some homeowners simply want a style or color update to modernize a home built decades ago.
Areas We Serve Around Glenshaw
Frequently Asked Questions About Siding in Glenshaw
How does Glenshaw's weather affect siding choice?
Winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and summers bring humidity, so we typically recommend vinyl or fiber cement — both handle temperature swings without warping the way some other materials can.
How long does a siding replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Glenshaw take two to four days depending on size and material, weather permitting.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We'll walk the property, look at the current siding, and provide a written estimate at no cost or obligation.
Can you match my existing siding for a partial repair?
We do our best to match color and profile, though sun-faded siding can be difficult to match exactly. We'll be upfront if a full section replacement will look better than a partial patch.
What siding materials work best for older Shaler Township homes?
Fiber cement holds up well on older frame homes, while insulated vinyl is a popular budget-friendly option that also helps with energy costs.
Do you handle storm damage repairs?
Yes, we respond to wind and hail damage and can advise on working with your insurance company for the repair.
