This page covers siding replacement in Poland, Maine, from lake camps near Tripp Pond and the Range Ponds to houses in the Poland Spring area and the town's other villages, in vinyl, LP SmartSide, James Hardie or cedar shingles.
Siding Replacement Lewiston settles the shoreland and permit questions with the town before tear-off, fixes rot and flashing hidden behind the old siding, and keeps all but one wall closed while the work goes on.
The figure to keep: Poland vinyl averages $750 to $950 per square and cedar shingles about $1,900, each an average across many quotes rather than the price of a particular camp or house.
Why Does a Poland Shore Lot Change a Siding Job?
A Poland shore lot changes a siding job because the town's Code applies shoreland rules within 250 feet of a great pond's normal high-water line, and open water drives rain into the walls that face it.
- Tripp Pond and Range Ponds camps, shoreland rules checked first
- Homes near Poland Spring, checked against the Historic District map

Poland needs three answers, one per kind of building.
Vinyl Siding on Poland's Year-Round Village Houses
Vinyl siding replacement is where most year-round village houses in Poland should start, with the lowest figure per square and no paint schedule.
With a 92 mph design wind in Poland's Code, the starter strip must match the panel lock, or the Vinyl Siding Institute says the bottom course can blow off.
LP SmartSide on Camps Near Tripp Pond
LP siding fits a Poland camp when the owner wants painted wood boards on a modest budget, and LP's 6 inches of clearance above grade matters on camps built low.
LP wants kick-out flashing at each eave-to-wall joint and warns against ivy on the planks.
Cedar Shingles for Poland Lake Cottages
Cedar shingle siding is the wall we recommend for a lake cottage among the pines, weathering to silver-gray if left natural. Semitransparent stain holds 4 to 5 years on a south face and more than 10 on a north one, says the Forest Products Laboratory.
We use the stainless or hot-dipped galvanized nails the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau allows, never electrogalvanized, which it says corrode and stain.
What Siding Services Do We Offer in Poland?
Poland jobs combine these three services.
Poland's Comprehensive Land Use Code never names siding in its definition of an alteration, so the permit question goes to the Code Enforcement Office first. The officer has 14 business days to rule on a complete application.
- Cedar, vinyl, LP SmartSide or fiber cement, one camp wall or a whole house
- Old siding removed and hauled off, with rotted sills and sheathing fixed first
- Housewrap, flashing at windows, doors and eaves, and new trim
How to Re-Side a Poland Home Without Opening Every Wall
We look before we price.
At a camp that means low sills and the lake side; at a village house, window heads and corners.
The number goes on paper.
A written price per square and a signed contract come before any old siding is touched.
One side wrapped and closed before the next.
Wind off the pond never finds every wall open, and you walk the finished job with us.
How Do You Choose Siding Replacement in Poland, ME?
You choose siding replacement in Poland, ME by starting with the lot: a shoreland camp, a house near the Poland Spring Historic Sites and a village colonial each call for different siding.
Waterfront owners can read Maine DEP's shoreland zoning page, and the EPA's lead-safe renovation rule applies to homes built before 1978.
Insist on what Maine law requires: a written, signed contract above $3,000, and a deposit that cannot pass one third.
Who Asks About Poland Siding, Where, and When?
Who in Poland usually needs new siding?
In Poland, new siding is most often needed by owners of a camp with soft wood at the low sills, or of an older village house with worn-out siding.
Where does Poland's Code reach a house's exterior?
Poland's Code reaches a house's exterior mainly in its Historic District zone, home to nine named Historic Sites such as All Souls Chapel and the Maine State Building. We found no design review for re-siding an ordinary house.
When should a Poland house be re-sided?
A Poland house should be re-sided in the warm half of the year, because the Code's design criteria list a 70-pound ground snow load and a 45-inch frost line.
How Much Does New Siding Cost in Poland, Maine?
In Poland, new siding costs about $750 to $950 per square in vinyl; LP SmartSide runs $1,150 to $1,425, James Hardie $1,225 to $1,525 and cedar shingles about $1,900. Each one averages many quotes; expect your house to land above or below.
| 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 |
Poland figures average many quotes per square (100 square feet of wall) and are not a quote; they cover removal, housewrap, flashing, trim and the dump run, and soft sills can raise them.
What pushes a Poland siding price up most, other than the material?
Other than the material, a Poland siding price rises fastest with the surprises behind the old wall: rot at camp sills or flashing that never worked. Hard-to-reach lake sides add labor.
Is siding over the old layer an option on a Poland camp?
Siding over the old layer works on a Poland camp if that layer is asbestos-cement shingle or lead-painted board and the wall is flat and dry; it saves tear-off and disposal. Rot or buckled sheathing rules it out.
Why doesn't this page list a price for Poland siding repair?
This page lists no Poland repair price because we set one only after seeing the damage: how many pieces, how high, how much rot and whether a match exists. Damage across most of a lake-facing wall calls for re-siding it.
What Starts a Poland Siding Job?
