Turner, Maine homeowners can read here how our siding replacement works: the old siding comes off, we repair damaged sheathing and flashing, and James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, vinyl or cedar shingles go up. It speaks to farmhouses on the old highland roads, the three village areas and the many 1970s and 1990s homes.
What sets Siding Replacement Lewiston apart in Turner is a hands-on look at sills and window heads before any price, plus a question to Code Enforcement about the permit before the first board comes off.
The figure to keep: Turner runs about $775 to $975 per square for vinyl and about $1,950 for cedar shingles, figures drawn from many quotes rather than a bid on your walls.
Why Doesn't a Turner House's Age Tell You What It Needs?
A Turner house's age doesn't tell you what its siding needs, because the town plan calls age alone a poor gauge of condition. We judge the wall by pressing on it.

Turner splits between old farm and village homes and houses built since the 1970s.
Vinyl Siding on Turner's 1970s and 1990s Houses
Vinyl siding replacement suits the roughly 507 Turner homes Census estimates date to the 1970s and 451 to the 1990s. The Vinyl Siding Institute says a 12-foot-6-inch panel can move half an inch or more, so we hang it loose.
The town plan says older homes may need energy upgrades, so we offer insulated vinyl, R-2.0 or better per VSI.
LP SmartSide on Turner Farmhouses
LP siding gives a Turner farmhouse painted lap boards for less than cedar. LP's warranty excludes soil and mulch contact, so on a low sill we keep the bottom course clear of both.
LP states SmartSide resists freeze-thaw damage, which Turner winters test.
Hardie Fiber Cement in Turner Center and North Turner
Hardie siding is our pick when a Turner Center or North Turner village house needs a factory finish. James Hardie says ColorPlus color is baked on, and its zone system places Maine ZIP codes in the HZ5 line for freezing climates.
At 2.31 pounds per square foot by Hardie's spec sheet, each plank is blind-nailed into solid backing, and every cut is made outdoors with dust collection.
What Siding Services Do We Offer in Turner?

- James Hardie, LP SmartSide or vinyl, from one side to every wall
- Tear-off and haul-away, with soft sheathing swapped out
- Window, door and kick-out flashing, insulated vinyl or new trim

How Do You Choose Siding Replacement in Turner, ME?
You choose siding replacement in Turner, ME by deciding how much upkeep you want, then hiring a crew that flashes every window first. Vinyl asks least; LP and Hardie give a painted board and want paint care.
About 397 Turner homes fall in the Census 1939-or-earlier bracket, and on any pre-1978 house the EPA lead renovation rule sets how painted siding comes off.
A written contract is Maine law on home jobs over $3,000, with the down payment held to one third. The usual fear is a price that grows once the wall opens, so we test first.
Who in Turner Should Re-Side, Where, and When?
Who in Turner should re-side first?
The Turner owners who should re-side first have soft sills, loose boards or stains under windows, whatever the house's age. A sound old farmhouse can wait; a 1990s house leaking at its window heads cannot.
Where in Turner does the permit form ask extra questions?
The Turner permit form asks extra questions for lots within 250 feet of a river or pond or in a floodplain, such as some near the Nezinscot River and Bear Pond. Maine DEP's shoreland zoning pages cover the state side.
When should a Turner house be re-sided?
A Turner house should be re-sided from spring through fall. The Lewiston station averages 65.1 inches of snow, and NOAA says nor'easter winds commonly match the hurricanes that have reached Maine.

What changes a Turner siding price most after the material?
After the material, a Turner siding price changes most with what the tear-off turns up: punky sheathing, a rotted sill, failed flashing. Tall gables, a connected ell or heavy trim add more.
Is siding over the old a Turner money-saver, and when is it not?
Siding over the old is a Turner money-saver when the siding already on is asbestos-cement shingle or lead-painted board over a flat, solid wall, cutting out tear-off and disposal. Rot rules it out; VSI says never to put vinyl over rotting wood.
Why does this page skip a Turner repair price?
This page skips a Turner repair price because we set it at the house: count the damaged pieces, note their height and hidden rot, and check whether the old profile still matches. When damage spans most of a wall, a new wall pays better.
