Professional installation means more than nailing panels — it means reading your home's substrate, sealing every edge, and standing behind the work.

Learn MoreHow It Works
{We start with a free visit to your Albion property — no pressure, no sales pitch. One of our experienced estimators walks the perimeter, checks the current exterior condition, takes measurements, and listens to what you want from the project. You'll get a clear, itemized written estimate that breaks down material, labor, and any prep work needed.
Most estimates are completed in a single visit of 30 to 60 minutes. If we spot anything unexpected — moisture damage, deteriorated sheathing, or problem areas around windows — we'll flag it honestly so there are no surprises on installation day. Our goal at this stage is information, not a signature.
Once you've reviewed the estimate and have questions answered, we help you select the right material for your home and budget. Whether you're choosing between vinyl profiles, weighing the value of insulated backing, or comparing fiber cement to engineered wood, we give you honest guidance based on what we've seen hold up in Albion, NY's conditions.
Scheduling is handled around your availability. We give you a firm installation window, order your materials in advance, and confirm everything before the crew shows up. You won't be left wondering when we're coming — clear communication is part of how we work.
On installation day, our crew arrives on time, sets up site protection for your landscaping and walkways, and gets straight to work. Old siding is removed methodically, the sheathing is inspected, and any substrate issues are addressed before new material goes up. We work to manufacturer specifications so your product warranty stays fully intact.
Throughout the day, a lead installer oversees the work and is available to answer questions. We don't rush through tricky areas like window flanges and corner returns — those spots require patience and precision, and that's exactly what they get from our team.
Before we pack up, we do a complete walkthrough of the finished exterior with you. We check panel alignment, trim seams, corner consistency, and every area that was worked. If you spot something that doesn't look right, we address it on the spot — not weeks later.
We clean the site completely, dispose of all old siding material, and leave your property better than we found it. You'll receive documentation for your warranty registration and a direct contact for any follow-up. The goal is that you feel completely confident in the work before we call the job done.
What You Should Know
Professional Siding Installation is a layered process, and the most important decisions happen before a single panel goes up. At SOS Roofing and Siding, we've seen what happens when installation skips the preparation steps — water infiltrates behind panels, walls develop mold, and homeowners spend far more fixing damage than they would have spent doing it right the first time. Every installation we do in Albion starts with a thorough substrate inspection because that's the foundation everything else depends on.
When the sheathing checks out, the next layer is the water-resistive barrier — commonly called house wrap or building wrap. This membrane is what actually manages moisture intrusion if any water gets past the siding panels. It has to be lapped correctly, taped at all seams, and integrated properly with flashing at windows and doors. A house wrap installed in a hurry or without proper taping at penetrations is nearly as useless as no house wrap at all.
Flashing at windows, doors, and roof-to-wall junctions is where many DIY installations fail. Metal or flexible flashing has to be integrated into the window's drainage plane so water sheds outward — not inward toward the framing. Sill pan flashing, head flashing, and kickout flashing at roof intersections all require specific sequencing that's easy to get wrong if you're not experienced with it. Our installers follow manufacturer and building science protocols at every transition point.
One of the questions we hear most often from Albion homeowners is whether DIY siding installation is worth attempting. The honest answer depends on the scope and the experience level of the person doing it. Small repairs and patch work can be handled by a careful homeowner. A full exterior installation, however, involves moisture management, structural decisions, and techniques that take crews years to develop. Mistakes during installation don't always show up right away — they show up two winters later as interior water damage or as bubbling, warped panels that have to come down.
On the day of your installation, here's what the experience looks like from a homeowner's perspective: the crew arrives, introduces the lead installer, and walks you through what will happen. Your landscaping is covered or protected before removal begins. Old panels and materials are loaded into a container or truck throughout the day so debris doesn't accumulate on your lawn. You can come and go freely — most homeowners don't need to be present the entire time, though you're welcome to check in any time.
