We explain the vinyl siding replacement and installation process, share practical tips for maximizing your investment, and demonstrate why choosing knowledgeable professionals matters for your home and your family.
What Makes Expert Vinyl Siding Replacement and Installation Essential?
New Jersey’s climate exposes homes to humid summers, cold winters, and unpredictable storms. As certified siding professionals, we know that poorly-installed or aging siding isn’t just an eyesore—it can put your home at risk for leaks, mold, high energy bills, and even structural damage. Our crews are exceptional with many years of experience with replacement and installation techniques and each project is completed to the highest standards.
We recommend premium vinyl siding for its proven durability, weather resistance, and attractive appearance. Our work is backed by manufacturer warranties and our commitment to stand by you long after the job is done.
Our Experience: The Step-by-Step Vinyl Siding Replacement & Installation Process
1. Thorough Assessment and Honest Recommendations
Every successful project at Design a Castle begins with a free, comprehensive inspection. We assess your existing siding, insulation, windows, and moisture barriers, then provide honest, transparent recommendations—no sales pressure, just clear facts.
2. Safe Removal of Old Siding
Our skilled installers carefully remove deteriorated siding, checking for hidden water damage or rot along the way.
3. Installing Certa Wrap House Wrap for Lasting Protection
As members of our crew will tell you, proper house wrap installation is critical. We exclusively use Certa Wrap for superior defense against moisture, drafts, and mold. Every seam is securely taped to create a continuous shield—an important detail that we see amateur installers frequently miss.
4. Adding Atlas Foam Insulation for Enhanced Comfort
Our customers regularly report lower utility bills and quieter homes after we install Atlas foam insulation. These rigid panels add energy efficiency, improve wall strength, and help dampen outside noise—a real perk for families on busy streets or near highways.
5. Precision Vinyl Siding Installation
We proudly use Charter Oak Dutch Lap and Clap Board vinyl siding, recognized for its durability, style, and performance. Each detail—from double 4 1/2″ Dutch Lap or Clap Board panels to rolled-edge nail hems—reflects over two decades of hands-on expertise. Our crews use manufacturer-approved fasteners, pay careful attention to expansion gaps, making sure siding panels are level and ensuring each panel is secured to existing studs for stability. These best practices protect your investment and are part of why our work stands the test of time.
- Double 4 1/2″ Dutch Lap or Clap Board profile with natural woodgrain texture
- 3/4″ projection for depth and shadow
- Wind-resistant rolled-edge nail hem
6. Custom Z-bend Starter Course: Preventing Common Water Issues
As seasoned professionals, we’ve seen firsthand the damage caused by improper base sealing. We fabricate and install a custom Z-bend starter course to encapsulate and seal the wall base, preventing water and insect intrusion — a crucial step for New Jersey’s wet seasons. Not many siding companies take this extra step.
7. Board and Batten Accents for Authentic Curb Appeal
Based on local architectural trends and customer feedback, we offer decorative Board and Batten panels for garage peaks and accent walls. These personal touches make your home stand out and reflect your unique taste.
8. Simonton 5050 and 5500 Series Energy-Efficient Window Replacement
As part of our comprehensive service, we replace builder-grade windows with Simonton 5050 Series vinyl replacement units—trusted nationwide for their Energy Star rating, Low E glass, durability and tilt-in cleaning convenience. Fiberglass insulation around each window ensures a draft-free, comfortable interior. Dozens of reviews highlight how much more comfortable these upgrades make our clients’ homes year-round.
9. Installing New Gutters and Downspouts for Total Protection
We complete the exterior transformation with new seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts to direct water away from your home’s foundation and provide better drainage.
