Vinyl Siding and Board and Batten for Pittsburgh Homes
Siding installation in Pittsburgh is about more than color. Siding is the outer layer that keeps rain, wind and snow away from your wall framing. Straight A Exterior Renovations installs vinyl siding and board and batten on homes across the Pittsburgh area, from full exteriors to upper stories, dormers and additions.
A siding project includes removing old or damaged siding where needed, checking the wall underneath, adding a weather-resistant barrier, and installing the new siding with matching trim, corners and flashing around windows and doors. Where siding meets the roof, we make sure flashing directs water onto the shingles, not behind the wall.
Many Pittsburgh homes are older, and a lot of them mix materials, such as a brick first floor with siding on the upper level or on a rear addition. Those transitions, plus freeze-thaw winters and wind-driven rain, are where water gets in. Worn or loose siding lets moisture reach the sheathing, and that can lead to rot you do not see until it is expensive.
Professional installation matters because vinyl siding moves as temperatures change. It has to be hung, not nailed tight, so it can expand and contract without buckling. Getting that right, along with clean trim and corner work, is what keeps siding looking straight through many Pittsburgh summers and winters.
Why Straight A
Siding installed with the whole exterior in mind
We treat siding as part of the whole exterior, so it works with your roof, gutters and windows instead of fighting them.
Roof-to-wall know-how
As a roofing company, we pay close attention to where siding meets the roof, which is a common source of leaks.
Clear written quote
A line-by-line quote lists the siding, trim and prep work, so there are no surprises later.
Guaranteed installation
Straight A's 2-year workmanship guarantee covers how the siding is hung: fastening, trim, corners and the flashing around windows and doors.
Dedicated project manager
One person keeps your project on track and answers your questions from start to finish.
Careful cleanup
Siding work creates scrap and loose nails. Crews clean it all up and walk the property with you when the job is done.
What's included
Siding Services We Offer
Whether you are replacing worn siding or adding a new look, here is what a siding project with Straight A can include.
Vinyl siding installation
Vinyl siding is low-maintenance and comes in many colors and profiles. We hang it so it can move with temperature changes, which prevents the waves and buckling you see on rushed installs.
Board and batten siding
Board and batten uses vertical panels with narrow battens over the joints for a clean, tailored look. It works well on gables, additions and full exteriors, and it pairs nicely with brick.
Siding replacement
When siding is cracked, loose or faded, we remove it, check the wall sheathing for soft spots, and install new siding over a weather-resistant barrier. Hidden damage is shown to you before we cover it up.
Upper-story and dormer siding
Many brick homes have siding only on the second floor or on dormers. These areas are hard to reach and get the worst of the weather, so we give the flashing at the brick line extra attention.
Trim, corners and soffit areas
Trim pieces, corners and the areas around windows and doors finish the job and keep water out of the joints. Clean trim work is what makes a siding job look finished.
Siding on additions
If you are adding a room or a garage, we can side it to suit the main house. We coordinate the siding with the roof so the two meet correctly.
How it works
How Our Siding Process Works

- Step 1
Exterior assessment
We look at your current siding, the walls behind it where we can, and how the siding meets the roof, windows and brick.

Style choices and written quote
You choose vinyl or board and batten and pick colors. We send a line-by-line quote, and work starts only after you approve it.
- Step 3
Scheduling and prep
Your project manager confirms the date, materials arrive, and the crew protects plants, walkways and anything near the walls.
- Step 4
Siding installation
We remove old siding where needed, add the weather barrier, then install siding, trim and flashing around every opening.
- Step 5
Final walkthrough
We check every wall, clean up scrap and nails, and walk around the house with you to review the finished work.
FAQ
Siding questions from Pittsburgh homeowners
What types of siding do you install in Pittsburgh?
We install vinyl siding and board and batten siding. We can help you decide which suits your home and how it will look alongside brick, stone or existing trim.
Can you replace siding only on the upper floor of my brick house?
Yes. Many homes have siding only on the second story or on dormers. We replace just those areas and pay close attention to the flashing where the siding meets the brick.
What if you find rotted wood behind the old siding?
We stop and show you. Covering soft or rotted sheathing with new siding only hides the problem, so we explain what we found and how we recommend handling it before moving on.
What warranty comes with new siding?
Your siding is covered by Straight A's 2-year workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. The manufacturer's warranty depends on the vinyl or board and batten product you pick, and its terms are spelled out in your written quote before you sign.
Why does vinyl siding sometimes look wavy?
Usually because it was nailed too tight. Vinyl expands and contracts with temperature, and it needs room to move. We hang it so it can shift without buckling.
Do you replace siding and roofing together?
We can. Doing both at once lets us handle the roof-to-wall flashing as one job, which is often where leaks begin.
Is the siding estimate free?
Yes. Estimates are free, with no obligation and no pressure, and you get a detailed written quote.
Vinyl or board and batten: which should I choose?
Vinyl lap siding is a classic, low-maintenance look that suits most houses. Board and batten gives a vertical, more tailored appearance and works well on gables, additions or as an accent. Some homeowners use both, and we can show you how each will look with your brick and trim.
