James Hardie & Vinyl Siding Installer
in Collegeville, PA
Collegeville is home to some truly beautiful properties, ranging from classic colonials near Ursinus College to the spacious houses tucked into the neighborhoods off Level Road. If your home in Upper Providence or Perkiomen Township still has its original builder-grade exterior, upgrading your siding is one of the smartest investments you can make. It is a great way to drastically boost your curb appeal while improving your home’s daily energy efficiency. At Merman Construction, we help you transition to premium products like James Hardie fiber cement or high-end insulated vinyl. These top-tier materials give your house a fresh, customized look while providing a much stronger shield against the summer humidity and freezing winter weather we get here in Pennsylvania.
Professional Service Right in Your Neighborhood
Because our headquarters is right here in Collegeville, you get a smooth remodeling experience without dealing with high-pressure sales tactics or out-of-town crews. We focus heavily on doing the job the right way, which means carefully checking the structure underneath your old siding and installing proper moisture barriers before the new material goes up. You will receive hands-on supervision from the owner from start to finish, ensuring a safe, clean job site and respect for your property. We also take care of the stressful paperwork by easily navigating the local HOA guidelines if necessary.
- Hyper-Local Experience: We have completed exterior renovations on colonials, rowhomes, and ranches throughout Upper and Lower Providence, Collegeville Borough and surrounding towns.
- Permit & Code Proficiency: We are deeply familiar with permit offices and local inspection processes, ensuring your project stays completely on schedule.
- Factory-Certified Installers: As certified James Hardie and CertainTeed installers, we have the specialized training required to guarantee your manufacturer warranties remain 100% valid.
- Owner-Operated: Owner Steve Merman is on-site every single day. We do not use remote project managers or hand your home off to unvetted sub-crews.
- Proven Track Record: We hold an A+ rating with the BBB and carry 5-star reviews from your Montgomery County neighbors.

How We Install Siding on Collegeville Homes
Every project follows a consistent process so nothing gets missed and your new siding performs the way it should for years to come.
Step by Step Installation
Inspection and Preparation
We walk the full exterior, check the condition of existing sheathing, and assess flashing at every window, door, and transition point before any material comes off the wall.
Weather Barrier Installation
Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap drainable house wrap and KEENE Rainscreen go on first, creating a drainage plane that moves water away from the wall cavity and keeps your new siding dry from behind.
Flashing and Sealing
Every penetration, window rough opening, and door frame is flashed with 3M tape and sealed with OSI QUAD MAX sealant. These transitions are where most siding problems start, so we treat them as the most important detail on the job.
Siding Installation
James Hardie fiber cement or CertainTeed vinyl panels are installed level, plumb, and to manufacturer specifications so the warranty is fully valid and the finished product looks sharp.
Trim and Finishing
Fypon PVC trim, fascia, and soffits complete the exterior. We do not hand off the finish work. Our crew stays through the last detail so the project is complete when we leave.
Our Preferred Siding Materials
We work with a short list of proven, contractor-grade materials so we can stand behind every installation we complete in Chester County.
-
James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding Our most recommended choice for Collegeville homes. Handles Pennsylvania freeze and thaw cycles, resists moisture and insects, and holds paint far longer than wood.
-
CertainTeed® Vinyl Siding Low-maintenance and cost-effective with a wide range of profiles and colors. A strong fit for colonials and ranchers where durability and easy upkeep are the priority.
-
Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap® Drainable House Wrap Installed under every siding system we put up. Creates an active drainage gap that moves water away from the wall cavity instead of trapping it against the sheathing.
-
OSI QUAD MAX® Window, Door and Siding Sealant Industry-leading adhesion and flexibility for long-term perimeter protection at every window, door, and penetration point on the exterior.
-
Fypon® PVC Trim and Millwork Rot-proof exterior trim that holds its profile through Pennsylvania temperature swings without splitting or needing constant repainting.
Peace of Mind Guarantee
We stand by our work. Every installation comes with our strict workmanship guarantee, fully protecting your home alongside robust manufacturer warranties from James Hardie and CertainTeed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Siding in Collegeville, PA
Over the years, we’ve heard common questions from homeowners. Here are just a few:
What is the best siding option for homes in Collegeville PA?
We recommend James Hardie® Fiber Cement or premium CertainTeed® Vinyl. Both are engineered to handle our specific climate—resisting warping during humid Collegeville summers and cracking during freeze-thaw winters.
Can you remove failing stucco and install new siding?
Yes. Our crews were trained doing warranty stucco remediation work, so we understand how to open walls properly, repair damaged sheathing, and install new siding systems that drain and breathe correctly to prevent future moisture issues.
Do you handle flashing trim and penetrations?
Absolutely. We replace all trim with rot-resistant materials (like Fypon®) and install custom flashing around windows and doors to ensure your home is watertight.
How long does siding replacement take?
Most standard homes in the Collegeville area are completed in 7 to 14 days, depending on the weather and the complexity of the project.
Do you offer free siding estimates in Collegeville?
Yes! We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes for homeowners in Collegeville, Trappe, and the surrounding Perkiomen Valley area.
How much does a siding replacement cost in the Collegeville area?
Every house is a different size and shape, so it is hard to give one exact price online. Most full siding replacements in our area typically range from $12,000 to $30,000 or more. The final cost depends heavily on the square footage of your home and the specific materials you choose. We always provide a clear and detailed quote after visiting your property to take measurements.
Customer Testimonials
“Merman did an EXCELLENT job with the remediation of the stucco on the front of our house! The new siding and stone look amazing! The entire team was very responsive and professional. Excellent work all around!”
“Steve is very knowledgeable and explained every detail of his water proofing method. We talked through the color and material choices and couldn’t be happier. His crew is very good and he is actually on site doing work, not like other contractors who send crews and you never see the boss. He was very open to our many questions and took the time to explain what was happening and why. Almost forgot to mention Jana she is excellent to work with and all paperwork is sent in a timely matter. Highly recommend Merman Construction.”
“Steve and his crew did an excellent job with repairs and improvements to my 225 year old farmhouse and barn. They showed up timely and kept me informed during the process. I would highly recommend his services.”
