This page covers siding replacement in Sabattus, Maine: removing or covering the old siding, fixing the wall behind it, and installing vinyl, LP SmartSide, James Hardie fiber cement or cedar shingles. It serves the town's manufactured homes, its 1980s to 2000s houses and the homes in the village at the outlet of Sabattus Pond.

The figure to keep: Sabattus vinyl averages $775 to $950 per square and cedar shingles about $1,925, averages of many quotes and not a quote for your walls.

What Towns Around Sabattus Do We Also Serve?
See all 22 towns we serveWhat Siding Works on Each Kind of Sabattus Home?
The siding that works on a Sabattus home is vinyl on manufactured homes, LP SmartSide on newer frame houses and cedar shingles on the oldest ones.
Vinyl Siding on Sabattus Manufactured Homes
Vinyl siding replacement is our pick for a Sabattus manufactured home, with the lowest per-square average here and lap profiles suited to a long, low wall.
We never hang vinyl over rotting wood, a Vinyl Siding Institute rule, and we check whether your job needs the town's separate Mobile Home Building Permit.
LP SmartSide on Sabattus Homes From 1980 to 2009
LP siding suits the single-family houses from Sabattus's busiest building decades when an owner wants a painted wood look, and LP states it resists freeze-thaw damage.
LP says to paint primed boards within 180 days, so we schedule the painting with the install.
Cedar Shingles on Sabattus's Oldest Houses
Cedar shingle siding is our choice for the roughly 12 percent of Sabattus housing built before 1940. Untreated, cedar turns silver-gray over time, the traditional Maine wall.
Every course goes up with offset joints on hot-dipped galvanized or stainless nails; the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau says electrogalvanized ones corrode and leave stains.
What Siding Services Do We Offer in Sabattus?
Any Sabattus re-side comes down to three kinds of work.
Sabattus's Code Enforcement office works from an ordinance that exempts repairs and replacement needing no structural elements, without naming siding. The office tells us if a permit applies to your re-side, and we file when one does.
- Four materials, from vinyl on a single-wide to cedar on an older house
- Old panels removed and hauled off, soft sheathing replaced underneath
- A water-resistive barrier, flashing at every opening, corners and trim
How to Re-Side a Sabattus Home, One Wall at a Time
The wall gets checked before the number.
We lift the old siding at one corner and under one window, and the price counts what we find.
Price and contract on paper.
Sheathing work we found sits beside the price per square, and you sign before setup.
Close a wall, open the next.
No side opens until the last is wrapped and sided, and we finish with a walk around together.
How Do You Choose Siding Replacement in Sabattus, ME?
You choose siding replacement in Sabattus, ME by asking each crew whether it will look under the old siding and fix what is soft, on a manufactured home or a frame house. A crew that will not look is quoting blind.
Sabattus has its own shoreland ordinance and permit, and lots near the pond may fall under Maine's shoreland zoning.
Then sign under Maine's contract law: a written contract on any job over $3,000, one third or less up front.
Who Should Re-Side in Sabattus, Where, and When?
Who in Sabattus has the strongest case for new siding?
The Sabattus owners with the strongest case for new siding have manufactured homes with cracked, faded or loose panels, or 1980s and 1990s houses with stained or wavy walls.
Where in Sabattus should new siding suit the neighborhood?
New siding should suit the neighborhood in the Village zone, which the zoning ordinance sets aside partly to keep the historical and architectural integrity of village development, though it sets no siding rule.
When should Sabattus siding work be scheduled?
Sabattus siding work should be scheduled from late spring into early fall, because the Forest Products Laboratory wants cedar stain applied at 40 to 50 degrees F or warmer.
How Much Do Sabattus Homeowners Pay for New Siding?
Sabattus homeowners pay on average $775 to $950 a square for vinyl siding, $1,150 to $1,450 for LP SmartSide, $1,250 to $1,550 for James Hardie and $1,925 for cedar shingles. They average many quotes: a budgeting tool, not a price.
| House size | Vinyl | LP SmartSide | James Hardie | Cedar shingles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small20 to 25 squares | $15,500 to $24,000 | $23,000 to $36,000 | $25,000 to $38,500 | $38,500 to $48,000 |

| Large32+ squares | from $24,500 | from $37,000 | from $40,000 | from $61,500 |
Sabattus averages by the square (that is, 100 square feet of wall), from many quotes; stripping, wrap, flashing, trim and haul-away are included, and soft sheathing found later can raise them.
What pushes a Sabattus siding price up, after the material?
After the material, a Sabattus price climbs with whatever tear-off exposes, such as soft sheathing below windows or missing flashing, then second stories and long trim runs.
Is covering the old siding an option in Sabattus?
Covering the old siding is an option in Sabattus when that layer is flat and dry and holds cement-asbestos shingles or lead paint, since the job skips tear-off. A soft wall comes down first.
Why does this page list no Sabattus repair price?
This page lists no Sabattus repair price because a repair is priced on site, from the pieces, the height, any rot and the color match. If repairs would cover most of a side, a new side is the better buy.
