The Difference
Why homeowners choose Clear Roofing & Exteriors for siding in Exton
The short answer: We install and replace vinyl and fiber cement siding on Exton homes, including the 1960s-to-1980s houses in West Whiteland Township that still have their original cladding.
- We install insulated and standard vinyl and James Hardie fiber cement, and newer builds toward the township edges are good candidates to trade builder-grade vinyl for insulated vinyl or Hardie.
- Insulated siding panels help with drafts and energy bills, but more of the gain comes from the fresh housewrap and flashing we put on underneath.
- We replace rotted sheathing behind old siding, and on older Exton homes we often find soft sheathing behind siding that still looked fine from the street.
- We often side and roof a house at the same time, with one crew handling the flashing where the roof, the wall and the gutters meet.
New siding, not a cover-up
The old siding comes off first and we look at the sheathing and housewrap underneath it. If a section of sheathing is soft, we replace it while the wall is open and send you photos of what we found. Nobody can price that repair until the old panels are off, so it gets flagged at the estimate.
Vinyl or fiber cement, matched to the house
Most of what we hang is vinyl, standard or insulated. The insulated panel has a rigid foam backing, which quiets the wall and takes a hailstone or a stray baseball without denting the way thin vinyl can. James Hardie fiber cement costs more and hangs slower, and it makes the most sense on a house you plan to keep.
The flashing and trim done right
Vinyl moves with the temperature, so the nails get driven snug and never tight. Flashing at the windows and doors goes in before the siding, lapped so water runs down and out, and the corner posts and trim go on in the same job so the colors match.

Local Conditions
What Exton homes ask of new siding
Exton's neighborhoods, spread through West Whiteland Township around the Route 30 and Route 100 corridors, filled in mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s, the three decades that hold about 4,500 of the township's 8,500 homes by the Census Bureau's count. A lot of those homes are still wearing their original builder-grade siding and housewrap, which by now has chalked, cracked, and started letting wind-driven rain in behind the seams and at the corners.
Once water gets behind siding of that age, it works into the sheathing and trim before anyone sees a stain inside. New siding done right on an Exton home means stripping to sound sheathing, new wrap, and flashing at every window head and corner that sends water back out rather than behind the wall.
- Original builder-grade siding chalking and cracking on the 1960s-to-1980s homes
- Old housewrap letting wind-driven rain in at the seams and corners
- Water working into sheathing and trim behind failing siding before it ever stains a wall inside
- Window heads and corners that need real flashing to keep an Exton wall dry

Local Expertise
Siding for Exton homes
Siding for Exton homes
Exton took its current shape during West Whiteland Township's growth from the 1960s through the 1980s, when the neighborhoods around Exton Square Mall and the Route 100 and US 30 corridors filled in. A large share of those homes still have their original cladding, hardboard, aluminum, or early vinyl that has chalked, cracked, warped, or pulled loose at the seams after decades of Chester County freeze-thaw winters and summer sun.
Once water gets behind a cracked panel or a failed caulk line, it works into the sheathing and framing the same way a bad roof does, and on the older Exton stock we often find soft sheathing behind siding that still looked fine from the street. We pull the old cladding, check and repair what is behind it, install fresh housewrap, and hang the new siding with the flashing and trim details that actually keep a wall dry.
Newer Exton builds out toward the township edges are candidates for an upgrade rather than a repair, swapping builder-grade vinyl for insulated vinyl or James Hardie fiber cement for a quieter, better-insulated, longer-lasting exterior.

They did an outstanding job on our roof. The crew Chris assembled, were punctual and very respectable of our property. On time no nonsense work crew.
It’s so hard to find a good and honest roofer out there. … Our roof turned out spectacular and we were amazed how efficient they were.
Replacing a roof due to hail damage is a bummer. … I need to understand each step of the process, both technically and financially. CE more then met that requirement.
Fortunately, Clear Exteriors were in my neighborhood and once they got involved everything went smooth. They know Roofs …

A family owned company that was super helpful when I had hail damage. They worked seamlessly with my insurance company and made it a hassle free project.
The job went smoothly from start to finish. Everyone at Clear Exteriors was friendly, professional and trustworthy. They delivered on all of their promises and replaced half of the roofs on my street.
Stephen is a delight to work with. Zach and his roofing crew did an excellent job installing the new roof and addressed all of my concerns on a follow up visit. I highly recommend their roofing services!
Finally found someone who is reliable. They get it done and done right the first time. I appreciate the time and effort. Thank you

Good to Know
Siding in Exton: frequently asked questions
What siding materials do you install in Exton?
Vinyl in standard and insulated panels, and James Hardie fiber cement. Vinyl costs the least and never needs paint. Hardie gives you the look of painted wood and will not rot, but wrapping a whole house in it costs well above the same house in vinyl, so we lay out both with real numbers.
Will new siding stop drafts and lower my bills?
Insulated vinyl adds an R-value layer behind the panel, and that helps. The bigger change on most walls is the new housewrap and the flashing at every opening, which close the gaps where air and wind-driven rain were getting in. We would not promise you a number on the bill.
Do you replace rotted sheathing behind the old siding?
Yes, while the wall is open. That damage cannot be seen or priced until the old panels come off, so we flag it at the estimate, then send photos and any revised numbers before we go further.
Do you side and roof at the same time?
We do. Siding, soffit, fascia, trim and gutters can go on in one job with one crew, and the roof above them too if it is due, with one crew handling the flashing where the roof meets the wall.
