The Difference
Why homeowners choose Clear Roofing & Exteriors for siding in Malvern
The short answer: We replace siding on Malvern homes with vinyl or James Hardie fiber cement, from the Victorian and stone-colonial houses near King Street to the newer builds in East Whiteland and Willistown.
- On Malvern’s premium and historic homes, Hardie fiber cement gives the painted-wood look without the rot or repainting, and insulated or standard vinyl is the low-maintenance choice.
- Older borough homes often wear wood or hardboard that has taken on water at the seams, so we check and repair the sheathing and housewrap before new siding goes up.
- More of the draft and energy-bill saving from new siding is in the new wrap and flashing, which is also where wind-driven Great Valley rain gets in at corners, window heads and eaves.
- Siding and roofing often go on together in Malvern, where many homeowners pair new siding with a roof replacement or new gutters so the whole weather shell matches.
New siding, not a cover-up
We strip the existing siding down to the sheathing on every wall we re-side. A quarter of the homes in Malvern borough were built before 1940, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, and on houses that age it is the only way to see the condition of the wood.
Vinyl or fiber cement, matched to the house
James Hardie planks are heavy, so two of our guys hang each one off staging, and every cut happens outside with dust collection because fiber cement throws silica dust. Insulated vinyl goes up faster and costs less. We bring samples of both to the estimate.
The flashing and trim done right
Hardie's printed instructions set clearances wherever a plank meets a roof, a deck or the ground, plus a flashing detail at each horizontal joint. We hang it to that spec, since skipping those details lets water behind the board and takes the product warranty with it.

Local Conditions
What Malvern homes ask of new siding
The older borough homes around King Street and Warren Avenue carry a lot of exterior detail, from deep eaves and dormers to trimmed-out gables on the Victorians and stone colonials, and a quarter of the borough's homes were built before 1940. Residing a house like that is as much trim carpentry and flashing work as it is hanging panels, because the water always finds the corner, the window head, or the eave that was cut short the first time.
On the newer homes out in the East Whiteland and Willistown township ground, the original builder-grade siding and housewrap are now decades on, and they tend to chalk, crack, or let wind-driven rain slip in behind the seams. The Great Valley gives summer storms a clear run at these walls, so a wall that leaks a little in a normal rain leaks a lot in a Malvern thunderstorm.
- Detailed borough exteriors, deep eaves, and dormers that need real trim and flashing work, not just new panels
- Original builder-grade siding and housewrap wearing out on the newer East Whiteland and Willistown homes
- Wind-driven Great Valley rain finding gaps behind old wrap at corners, window heads, and eaves
- Older Victorian and stone-colonial walls that reward a careful, watertight residing over a fast one

Local Expertise
Siding for Malvern homes
Siding for Malvern homes
Malvern’s housing runs from 19th-century and Victorian borough homes to newer builds in the East Whiteland and Willistown townships around it. The older homes often wear wood or hardboard siding that has taken on water at the seams after decades of Great Valley freeze-thaw, while the newer ones carry builder-grade vinyl now chalking and cracking.
We pull the old cladding, check and repair the sheathing and housewrap behind it, and hang new siding with the flashing and trim details that keep a wall dry. On Malvern’s premium and historic homes, James Hardie fiber cement gives the painted-wood look the block calls for without the rot or repainting.
Many Malvern homeowners pair new siding with a roof replacement or new gutters so the whole weather shell goes on matched and at once.
From one of our jobs
The May 4th hail storm damaged this property. Our crews replaced two walls of vinyl siding, the roof shingles on the house and the garden barn, and the gutters and downspouts the hail had damaged, and we supported the owners through their home insurance claim. “He gave us support in dealing with our home insurance company and made a difficult situation much easier,” Robert R. wrote afterwards.

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 …

Good to Know
Siding in Malvern: frequently asked questions
What siding materials do you install in Malvern?
Vinyl and insulated vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement, and engineered wood such as LP SmartSide, which lands between the two on price. We bring samples to the estimate so you can hold them up against the house.
Will new siding stop drafts and lower my bills?
Some. Insulated panels put a layer of foam behind the siding, but on a leaky wall most of the gain comes from the new housewrap and from flashing and sealing around the windows and doors. The drafty rooms usually feel it first.
Do you replace rotted sheathing behind the old siding?
Yes. Once the old siding is off we check the wall for rot and soft spots, cut out and replace bad sheathing, and put up a weather-resistant barrier before any new panel goes on.
Do you side and roof at the same time?
Often. Doing both in one job means one crew flashes the joint where the roof meets the wall, and the soffit, fascia and gutters can go on in the same color run.
