Looking for siding in Mt. Lebanon? Ireland Contracting is a Pittsburgh siding contractor installing, replacing, and repairing siding across Allegheny, Butler, and Beaver counties since 1994. We're a James Hardie Preferred Contractor and an Everlast Preferred Siding Installer, and we also install Mastic and Norandex vinyl, so we can match the material to the house and the budget instead of selling one product. Every job is done by our own crews, with soffit, fascia, and trim finished as part of the work.
Mt. Lebanon's houses are older than Allegheny County's as a whole: the median home here was built in 1953, and nearly a third of the municipality's houses predate 1940. Ireland Contracting roofs, sides, and replaces windows on those brick and stone Tudors and Colonials, with Owens Corning Platinum Preferred roofing crews and a repair technician who handles the small jobs older houses generate.
Many Mt. Lebanon homes are brick or stone, so siding here often means the gables, dormers, additions, and rear walls rather than a whole house. We match the new material to the masonry and trim so the siding looks like it belongs to a 1920s house, not a 1990s patch.
New siding is the highest-impact exterior upgrade a Pittsburgh home can get: it seals the walls against our wet winters, ends the repainting cycle, and changes the look of the house completely. We tear off the old cladding rather than covering it, inspect and repair the sheathing, wrap and flash the walls, and install the new siding and trim to manufacturer spec so the warranty actually holds.
Fiber cement and composite: James Hardie fiber cement is noncombustible, resists moisture and woodpeckers, and comes in the Engineered for Climate formulation for our region. Everlast advanced composite is a mineral-and-polymer board with the color all the way through. It won't swell, split, or rot, and it never needs painting. Both are the right choice when you want the house done once.
Vinyl siding: for most budgets, a quality vinyl is the smart answer, and the product matters more than the label. We install Mastic Quest (.046-inch panel, wind-rated to 163 mph), Mastic Cedar Discovery shake-and-shingle, Mastic Board & Batten, and Norandex Great Barrier clapboard and Dutch lap. Insulated vinyl adds a foam backer that stiffens the panel and cuts heat loss through the wall, worth it on the region's uninsulated 1950s and 60s homes.
Siding repair: not every problem needs a full re-side. We repair storm-cracked and wind-lifted panels, replace rotted trim and sections behind a leak, and re-secure siding that's pulling away. Where a discontinued vinyl can't be matched, we'll show you the closest profiles and colors before we start, and tell you honestly when a wall or two is better replaced than patched.
