Project Summary
Your locally trusted siding contractors at Paddy’s recently completed a full exterior siding replacement project on Brookside Boulevard, in the heart of the historic Brookside neighborhood (Newark, DE 19713). Located just blocks from the popular Chestnut Hill Plaza and minutes from major regional corridors like Marrows Road, Route 273 (Chestnut Hill Road), and I-95, this classic single-family home was overdue for a protective and thermal upgrade.
The Brookside community features well-established homes that face year-round Mid-Atlantic climate conditions, ranging from high summer humidity to freezing winter precipitation. The homeowners turned to Paddy’s to address deteriorating exterior walls, repair hidden structural wood rot, and dramatically modernize their home’s curb appeal.
Inspection Findings: Before Siding Replacement
During our initial exterior walk-through and tear-off assessment, Paddy’s technicians identified several critical structural and aesthetic defects:
-
Old, Worn, and Chalking Siding: The original light-colored exterior siding had reached the end of its useful lifespan. Years of intense sun exposure caused severe fading, chalking, and brittle surfaces prone to cracking under minor impacts.
-
Rotted Wood Trim and Moisture Intrusion: Water had penetrated beneath aging window casings and wall corners. Upon removing the old cladding, our crews uncovered water-damaged, rotted wood framing surrounding the window trim and wall bases that threatened structural stability if left unaddressed.
-
Inadequate Weather Protection: The home lacked a continuous vapor barrier, leaving framing members vulnerable to draft leaks, moisture accumulation, and elevated energy bills.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
1. Complete Tear-Off & Substrate Repair
Paddy’s siding specialists stripped away the old, worn siding right down to the original wall sheathing. All rotted wood trim around the windows and corner boards was removed and replaced with fresh, moisture-resistant framing material to create a solid structural foundation.
2. High-Performance Vapor Barrier Installation
We wrapped the entire home exterior in a heavy-duty CertainTeed Weather Resistant Barrier. This housewrap prevents water penetration while allowing interior moisture vapor to escape, safeguarding the home against mold, decay, and draft leaks.
3. CertainTeed Vinyl Siding & Custom Trim Craftsmanship
Our technicians installed premium CertainTeed vinyl siding in a sleek, modern Charcoal Grey tone. To complete the clean aesthetic, we framed all windows, soffits, fascia, and corners with bright white custom trim, establishing a high-contrast finish that elevates property value.
