Siding Installation & Replacement Services In Maryland & Delaware
When your siding starts failing, it stops being a curb-appeal problem and becomes a moisture problem. Mallard Exteriors installs and replaces residential and commercial siding across the Delmarva Peninsula, from the Maryland Mid-Shore to the Delaware beaches and into Virginia. Whether you’re tearing off 30-year-old panels that have gone brittle in the coastal sun or siding a brand-new build, our crews handle the full job: tear-off, sheathing inspection, weather barrier, trim, and finish work, so the wall system behind your siding is as sound as the panels on the front of it.
Every project starts with a free, no-pressure estimate. Contact us today or call 410-572-2727.

Siding Repair or Full Replacement? Get a Free Estimate and a Straight Answer
You don’t need to guess. Send us photos or book a free on-site inspection, and one of our estimators will tell you exactly which job you’re looking at, and what each option costs, before you commit to anything.
A single cracked panel is a repair. A pattern of failure across multiple walls usually means replacement. If a targeted siding repair is all you need, we’ll quote the repair and leave it there.
Get a replacement quote if you’re seeing:
- Warping, buckling, or waviness across a whole wall — usually a fastening or moisture problem behind the panels, not the panels themselves. Patching won’t hold.
- Soft spots or rot in the trim, sheathing, or wall behind the siding. Price this now; rot spreads and so does the invoice.
- Mold, mildew, or algae that returns after cleaning — you’re paying to wash the same wall twice a year.
- Repainting every few years — over ten years, replacement siding usually costs less than the paint jobs do. Ask us to run those numbers against your quote.
- Rising heating and cooling bills with no other explanation, which can point to failed insulation or air infiltration at the wall.
- Discontinued or unmatchable panels, where repairs stand out instead of blending in.
- Storm or wind damage across multiple elevations after a nor’easter or tropical system. We can document the damage for your insurance claim.
If several of these sound familiar, don’t wait for the next heavy rain to make the decision for you. Water behind siding doesn’t announce itself until the framing is involved, and framing repairs aren’t included in a siding quote.
Schedule your free siding estimate, no cost, no pressure, and a written quote for both options where both are realistic.
Our Siding Installation Process
The difference between siding that lasts 30 years and siding that fails early is almost never the pane; it’s what happens during installation. Here’s how we approach every replacement:
- On-site inspection and consultation. We walk the property, measure, check problem areas, and talk through material, color, and budget. You get a written estimate with no obligation.
- Complete tear-off. We remove the old siding rather than layering over it. Going over failing siding hides exactly the problems you’re paying to solve.
- Sheathing and framing inspection. With the walls open, we check for rot, insect damage, and prior water intrusion, and we show you anything we find before we repair it. No surprise charges appear after the fact.
- Weather-resistive barrier and flashing. We install house wrap and properly flash windows, doors, corners, and penetrations. This layer is what keeps water out of your wall assembly.
- Siding, trim, and detail work. Panels go on to manufacturer specification, correct fastening, correct overlap, correct expansion allowance, followed by corner posts, J-channel, soffit, fascia, and trim.
- Cleanup and final walkthrough. We run magnets for stray fasteners, haul away debris, and walk the job with you before we call it finished.
We also pull permits where they’re required and can work within architectural review requirements in communities like Ocean Pines.

Siding Materials Built for Coastal Conditions
Salt air, wind-driven rain, and summer humidity are hard on a house, and plenty of siding products that perform fine inland don’t hold up here. We install proven material lines and will walk you through the tradeoffs on your siding options rather than steering you toward one product:
- HardiePlank fiber cement — James Hardie siding resists rot, insects, and moisture, holds its factory finish well, and stands up to coastal weather. A strong choice for homeowners who want the look of painted wood without the maintenance.
- Vinyl siding — CertainTeed vinyl remains the most popular choice in the country for good reason: broad color selection, strong warranty coverage, and effectively no repainting.
- CedarBoards insulated siding — Foam-backed panels that add insulating value and rigidity at the wall while delivering the look of real cedar without the upkeep.
- Cedar Impressions — Polymer shakes and shingles that give you the coastal cedar-shake look without the splitting, cupping, and staining cycle that comes with natural wood near the water.

New Construction & Addition Siding Installation
Not every siding job starts with a tear-off. We install siding on new residential construction, additions, garages, outbuildings, and commercial properties throughout Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Builders and general contractors work with us because we show up on schedule, coordinate cleanly with other trades, and finish trim details properly instead of leaving them for someone else.
If you’re pairing siding with a roof replacement, doing both at once often saves money on setup and staging — and it means one contractor is accountable for how the roof and wall systems meet. Ask us about combining your siding project with roofing services.
What Affects Siding Replacement Cost
There’s no honest way to quote sidng without seeing the house, but you should understand what actually drives the number. The biggest factors are:
- Total square footage and the number of stories
- Material and product line selected
- Condition of the sheathing and framing underneath
- Number of windows, doors, corners, gables, and dormers, since detail work drives labor
- Whether soffit, fascia, wrap, or trim is being replaced at the same time
- Insulation and house wrap upgrades
We provide detailed written estimates so you can see where the money is going, and we offer financing to help you move forward on a full replacement instead of patching a wall that needs more.
