This page explains siding replacement in Greene, Maine: removing old siding, repairing the sheathing and flashing behind it, and installing vinyl, LP SmartSide, James Hardie fiber cement or cedar shingles. It is meant for owners of Greene's 1960s and 1970s houses, its farm properties and the year-round homes on Allen Pond.
Siding Replacement Lewiston writes the per-square price before tear-off, fastens each wall for the wind that crosses Greene's open fields, and closes one wall before opening another.
The figure to keep: Greene vinyl averages $750 to $950 per square and cedar shingles about $1,900, both averages across many quotes, not a price for your house.
Why Do Open Greene Lots Need Siding Fastened for Wind?
Open Greene lots need siding fastened for wind because little breaks the gusts crossing the fields. The Vinyl Siding Institute warns that a starter strip not matched to the panel lock can let the first course tear loose, so ours always match.
- Farm parcels on open acreage, with room to stage the work
- 1970s houses, from Greene's second-busiest building decade
- Allen Pond homes, checked against the Shoreland box on the permit form

Which Towns Beside Greene Do We Re-Side Too?
See all 22 towns we serveWhat Siding Should Go on a Greene House or Farmhouse?
The siding that should go on a Greene house is vinyl on the 1960s and 1970s homes, LP SmartSide on farmhouses and a repair when wind damage stops at a few pieces.
Vinyl Siding on Greene's 1960s and 1970s Homes
Vinyl siding replacement makes the most sense for Greene's 553 housing units from the 1960s and 1970s, with the lowest per-square average here.
We flash every window head separately, because a J-channel's top leg cannot be counted on as head flashing.
LP SmartSide on Greene Farm Properties
LP siding is our board for Greene farmhouses, where a painted lap wall suits the setting, in Cedar Texture or Brushed Smooth.
Kick-out flashing goes in at every eave-to-wall joint, as LP requires, with siding and trim kept out of the gutters.
Siding Repair on Wind-Exposed Greene Walls
Siding repair is the right call when a Greene windstorm tears loose a few panels or cracks a corner on a sound wall. The panel above a torn one zips open with a hand tool, so a new one locks in.
Color is the catch on an old wall, and if damage reaches the sheathing, we price a new wall instead.
What Siding Services Do We Offer in Greene?
Greene jobs, from farmhouse to pond house, use three services.
Greene's Code Enforcement page says the code officer sees every application first, and the Land Use Ordinance requires a permit when a building changes size or shape. A like-for-like re-side is not addressed, so we ask the officer.
- A whole house or a few walls, in any of the four materials
- Tear-off and disposal, soft sheathing and trim repaired
- Housewrap, flashed openings, kick-outs and exterior insulation

How Do You Choose Siding Replacement in Greene, ME?
You choose siding replacement in Greene, ME by hiring a crew that plans for wind and water together: fastening that holds on an open field, and flashing wherever a roof meets a wall.
Greene's Land Use Ordinance wants a dwelling's housewrap fully hidden by its finished wall. It may not reach a re-side, but bare wrap all season is a bad sign.

Greene Re-Sides: Who Needs One, Where, and When?
Who in Greene needs new siding most?
The Greene owners who need new siding most have walls facing open fields, or 1970s houses with cracked, faded or loose siding.
Where in Greene does a re-side need a closer look?
A re-side needs a closer look in Village I, which the Land Use Ordinance says includes Greene's historic village area, and on Allen Pond lots in Maine's shoreland zoning, where Greene's permit form calls for erosion control.
When should a Greene house be re-sided?
A Greene house should be re-sided between May and October, before January and February each bring about 20 inches of snow at the Lewiston station. A permit, if required, allows a year to start and two to finish.
How Much Should Greene Owners Budget for Siding?
Greene owners should budget about $750 to $950 a square in vinyl, $1,150 to $1,425 with LP SmartSide, $1,225 to $1,525 with James Hardie and $1,900 with cedar shingles. They average many quotes; your house will land a little to either side.
| House size | Vinyl | LP SmartSide | James Hardie | Cedar shingles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small20 to 25 squares | $15,000 to $24,000 | $23,000 to $35,500 | $24,500 to $38,000 | $38,000 to $47,500 |
| Medium25 to 32 squares | $19,000 to $30,500 | $28,500 to $45,500 | $31,000 to $48,500 | $47,500 to $61,000 |
| Large32+ squares | from $24,500 | from $36,500 | from $39,500 | from $61,000 |
Greene installed averages for every 100 square feet of wall, from many quotes and never a price; removal, wrap, flashing, trim and disposal are in, and tear-off findings can shift them.
Beyond the material, what drives a Greene siding price?
Beyond the material, a Greene price follows what the old siding covers, from soft sills to flashing that leaked for years, then tall farmhouse gables and long trim runs.
Is siding over the old cheaper on a Greene house?
Siding over the old is cheaper on a Greene house because it skips tear-off and disposal, typically over cement-asbestos shingles or lead paint, and only on a flat, dry wall.
Why is no repair price shown for Greene?
No repair price is shown for Greene because a repair is priced after a visit: how many pieces broke, how high, what rot spread and whether the color matches. When breaks run across most of a wall, we re-side that wall.
