Installing vinyl siding over existing materials is possible in many Shirley homes, but it depends on the current siding’s condition and type. Wood, aluminum, or thin vinyl siding in good condition often provides a suitable base, potentially saving removal costs.
However, Shirley’s humid coastal climate makes moisture concerns critical. If existing siding has water damage, rot, or insulation problems, removal is necessary to prevent trapped moisture that leads to mold and structural issues. A thorough inspection determines the best approach.
Installing over existing siding adds thickness that affects window and door trim, electrical outlets, and other exterior features. We evaluate these factors and recommend whether overlay installation makes sense for your specific situation, considering both cost savings and long-term performance.
