Siding Installation & Repair in Lancaster County, PA
Fiber cement, lap siding, and re-siding done right, with the housewrap and wall repairs behind it that keep the home dry.
Siding protects the whole house, so it has to be more than skin-deep. As a siding installation and repair contractor in Lancaster County PA, D&E Mako Renovation re-sides homes in durable materials like fiber cement, addresses whatever is hidden behind the old cladding, and details a drainable housewrap that keeps the wall dry for the long run. A siding job done right is not just a new look; it is a sound wall behind a clean face.
What our siding service covers
- Fiber cement and lap siding installation
- Full re-siding of existing homes
- Sheathing inspection and repair once the old siding is off
- Drainable housewrap and correct flashing details
- Siding repair, rot repair, and water-damage fixes
- Trim, corners, and clean transitions around windows and doors
Why the wall behind the siding matters
Siding is a shedding layer, not a sealed one, so the housewrap and flashing behind it are what keep the wall dry when water gets past the cladding. Once the old siding comes off, hidden rot or a failed moisture barrier often turns up, and those have to be repaired before new siding goes on. Skipping that step just hides the problem behind a new wall.
Worth knowing: The most important part of a siding job is the part you never see. A properly lapped, drainable housewrap and correct flashing are what prevent the hidden rot we get called to fix on older homes.
Choosing the right siding
Different materials perform differently in our climate, so it helps to choose with eyes open. Our comparison of James Hardie versus LP SmartSide, and our guides on when siding needs removal versus repair and how long siding installation takes, help you plan. Siding also connects to the roofline work in our AZEK trim and aluminum service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove old siding before new siding?
In most cases, yes. Removing the old cladding lets us inspect the sheathing, repair damage, and install a fresh moisture barrier.
How long does fiber cement siding last?
Properly installed fiber cement lasts for decades in our climate, often outliving the roof.
What siding materials do you install?
Fiber cement and lap siding, among others, always over a properly detailed housewrap.
Can you repair siding, or only replace it?
Both. We repair siding and water damage, and we do full re-sides when repair is no longer worth it.
What areas do you serve?
Lancaster and Chester County, based in Ephrata.
