New Gloucester siding replacement, start to finish, is what this page explains: worn siding comes off, rotted sheathing and failed flashing get fixed, and cedar shingles, LP SmartSide, vinyl or James Hardie fiber cement go on. Federal-era village houses, farmhouses, lake-lot homes and 2000s colonials each get their own advice.
Siding Replacement Lewiston gets each address's zoning district from the town before recommending a material, because the Historic Resource Overlay favors the original siding material and protects trim from being covered.
The figure to keep: New Gloucester vinyl averages $825 to $1,025 per square and cedar shingles about $2,050, both drawn from many quotes and never the price of one particular house.
Why Does a New Gloucester Re-Side Begin With the Address?
A New Gloucester re-side begins with the address because the zoning map decides whether a house sits in the Historic Resource Overlay, which has its own siding language. We confirm the district before recommending siding.

Vinyl Siding on New Gloucester's 2000s Houses
For the roughly 547 houses Census estimates date to the 2000s, vinyl siding replacement fits best, nailed loose so panels can move.
Inside the overlay, the ordinance says aluminum or vinyl may be acceptable if trim is not damaged or hidden, so every casing stays in plain sight.
LP SmartSide on New Gloucester Farmhouses and Capes
LP siding gives a farmhouse or cape painted wood lap for less than cedar. LP states each SmartSide board is treated to the core with a formula that includes zinc borate.
LP wants paint on soon, and the Gray station averages 84.0 inches of snow, so we hang and paint in one season.
Cedar Shingles on New Gloucester's Older Farmhouses
Cedar shingle siding is the traditional Maine wall, weathering to silver-gray if left natural. Where an overlay house already wears wood shingles, cedar keeps the same material the ordinance prefers.
Stainless or hot-dipped galvanized nails hold every shingle; electrogalvanized ones corrode and leave stains, the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau warns.

Census estimates date about 257 New Gloucester homes to 1939 or earlier. On any house built before 1978, the EPA lead renovation rule governs how painted siding comes off.
Maine law requires a written, signed contract on home jobs over $3,000 and caps the down payment at one third. Ask any crew for both, ours included.

Siding over the old skips tear-off and disposal, and it fits best when the existing layer carries asbestos or lead paint over a flat, dry wall. Soft walls rule it out, as does overlay trim it would bury.
Why does this page list no New Gloucester repair price?
