Siding Built for Ford City's Older Housing Stock
Ford City grew up around the river and the old plate glass works, and a lot of that early-1900s housing is still standing today. Richards Siding works often on these older homes, where original wood siding and trim have usually been through several repairs over the decades.
Experience With Early-1900s Homes
Many houses in Ford City were built close together on narrow lots during the town's industrial growth. We know how to work efficiently in those tight spaces.
Full-Service Siding Options
Vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and insulated siding are all installed and repaired by our crews, sized to your home and budget.
Straightforward Communication
We inspect your Ford City property, explain what we find, and walk through your options before any work starts.
Western PA Winters Are Hard on Ford City's Older Siding
The Allegheny Valley sees heavy snow and repeated freeze-thaw cycles through the winter months. On older homes in Ford City, that stress shows up as cracked wood siding, warped boards, and gaps where the river's humidity gets behind the wall.
Richards Siding Builds In Lasting Protection
We install siding rated for these conditions and seal every seam against wind-driven moisture. For Ford City homeowners, that means fewer repair calls and less risk of hidden water damage.

Common Reasons Ford City Homeowners Call About Siding
These are the issues that bring most of our calls from the area.
Winter Storm Damage
Heavy snow and ice loads can crack or dislodge aging siding panels.
Cracking From Freeze-Thaw
Repeated freezing and thawing causes siding to expand, contract, and eventually split.
Moisture Behind the Wall
River humidity works into gaps in old siding, risking rot in the sheathing underneath.
Rot in Original Wood Siding
A lot of early-1900s wood siding in the area is due for replacement after decades of exposure.
High Energy Bills
Thin, older siding with no insulation backing lets conditioned air escape through the walls.
Pest Entry Points
Gaps at corners and trim on older homes give insects and rodents a way inside.
Outdated Appearance
Homeowners updating older properties often start with siding since it changes the whole look of the home.
