Financing Options for Siding Installation & Repair
New England weather is the toughest test a siding job can get. Forty-plus freeze-thaw cycles a year, salt air on the coast, ice on the gable ends, wind off the ocean and pollen baked into the south side every spring. Bad siding stops looking good in five years and stops protecting the house in ten. Good siding does both jobs for thirty.
We have been doing exterior work in the Merrimack Valley, Southern New Hampshire, and Maine since 1976. Full siding replacements, panel repairs, and the associated carpentry that almost always comes with it - fascia, rake boards, and the plywood substrate behind the existing siding. Every job carries manufacturer-backed guarantees.
Why Your Siding Matters
What good siding actually does for your house.
Siding is the layer between your home and a New England year. When it works, you stop thinking about it. When it fails, the house tells on it fast.
Weather Protection
Good siding sheds water, wind, and snow before it reaches the sheathing or the framing. The cost of replacing siding is always less than the cost of repairing what failed siding lets in.
Energy Efficiency
Properly installed siding with insulation and house wrap behind it cuts air infiltration, holds heat in the winter and out in the summer, and lowers the bill at both ends of the year.
Curb Appeal & Value
The first thing a buyer or appraiser sees is the siding. New siding routinely returns 70 to 85 percent of its cost on resale and resets the visible age of the house from the curb.
Stops Hidden Damage
Loose, cracked, or warped siding is a slow leak you cannot see. Water gets behind the panels, soaks into sheathing, rots the framing, and finds the insulation. Catching it early is a siding job. Catching it late is a renovation.
What We Do
The full siding job, not just the panels.
Siding work is almost never just siding. By the time the old panels come off, there is often rotted fascia or soft plywood underneath that has to be addressed before any new material can go on. Our in-house siding team handles the full scope, from tear-off through final cleanup, on every project.
- Full siding replacementsComplete tear-off of existing siding, surface preparation, and installation of new high-quality material.
- Siding repairPanel replacement, damaged section repair, storm damage, and patch work on existing systems.
- Associated carpentryInstallation and replacement of fascia boards, rake boards, and plywood substrate.
- Surface preparationRemoval of existing or damaged siding, inspection of underlying structure, and prep of the exterior surface so it is even, solid, and ready for new material.
- Material, color, and finish selectionGuidance on the right materials, colors, and finishes for a lasting result on your home. Samples and options brought to the on-site estimate.
- Manufacturer-backed guaranteesEvery installation carries manufacturer-backed product warranties.

Tear-Off & Surface Prep

Associated Carpentry
Fascia boards, rake boards, and plywood substrate replaced where needed before the new siding goes on.

Walkthrough & Cleanup
Final inspection with you, full cleanup, magnetic sweep for nails.
Associated Carpentry
Siding installation often involves work behind the panels.
Siding sits on top of a structure. If the underlying components are weathered or compromised, addressing them is part of doing the siding work correctly. Our siding repair and installation services include the associated carpentry that often comes with a project.
- Fascia boardsInstallation or replacement of fascia behind the gutter line and along the roof edge.
- Rake boardsReplacement of weathered or damaged rake boards along the gable ends of the home.
- Plywood substrateSoft or damaged plywood behind the existing siding replaced before new material is installed.
- In-house crewsThe carpentry is handled by the same team doing the siding installation, on the same project, with the same manufacturer-backed warranties.
Seasonal Maintenance
How to keep siding working through a New England year.
Even premium siding needs eyes on it twice a year. Catching a popped panel or a leaking trim joint in season is a 20-minute fix. Catching it after the freeze is a wall.
Spring
Wash off winter salt, mildew, and pollen with a soft rinse. Walk the perimeter and check for panels that popped, loose trim, or any seam where ice movement opened a gap.
Summer
Check the south and west sides for sun fading or warping. Verify all seams are sealed at the window and door flashing. Trim back shrubs that touch the siding.
Fall
Walk the perimeter again before the first freeze. Seal any cracks, check for pest entry points, and make sure gutters and downspouts are pushing water away from the walls.
Winter Watch
Ice and snow against the siding are normal. Ice working under panels is not. If you see daylight where a panel meets trim or sheathing, call before the next thaw.
How we quote a siding job.
Every siding project is different. Square footage, material, profile, color line, the amount of carpentry behind the existing siding, window and door count, and trim detail all move the number. That is why we do not publish prices online - the only honest number is the one written down after a foreman has walked your house in person and checked what is actually behind the old panels.
Here is what you can count on: a free on-site estimate, a written quote before any work begins, and financing options if you want them. We provide siding repair as well as full replacements, so if your project is suited to a repair we can quote that as well.

Common Questions
What homeowners ask before they pick up the phone.
The questions we get on the estimate call, answered straight.
What siding services does Merrimack Valley Roofing & Gutter provide?

Every installation carries manufacturer-backed guarantees. Family-run since 1976, BBB A+ Accredited, fully licensed and insured, with crews across NH, MA, and Southern Maine.
How does Merrimack Valley Roofing & Gutter quote a siding installation?
Every siding project is quoted on-site, in writing, before any work begins. A foreman walks the entire exterior, looks at the existing siding and trim, talks through options for materials, colors, and finishes with you, and leaves with a written estimate. We do not publish prices online because the honest number depends on square footage, the materials selected, profile, color, window and door count, and the amount of carpentry repair behind the existing siding. The estimate is free, there is no obligation, and the price on the written quote is the price.
Can you repair siding instead of replacing the whole house?
Yes. We provide siding repair services for damaged panels, storm damage, and isolated sections. Whether repair or full replacement makes sense depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the underlying structure. A foreman will walk through the options on the on-site estimate and quote the work appropriately.
Do you do the associated carpentry too, or do I need a separate carpenter?
Yes. Our in-house siding team handles the associated carpentry on the same project, including installation or replacement of fascia boards, rake boards, and plywood substrate. One crew, one project, manufacturer-backed warranties on the installation.
What warranty comes with siding installation?
All siding installations carry manufacturer-backed product guarantees. Specific warranty terms (length, what's covered, transferability) depend on the product line and are reviewed in writing on the estimate before you sign anything.
Do you offer financing on siding projects?
Yes. Financing is available on siding and exterior projects. Monthly payment options are reviewed on the estimate so you know what the numbers look like before you commit.
Do you offer emergency service for siding damage?
