Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of watching your siding fade, crack, and warp from Riviera Beach’s coastal conditions. The salt air eats through standard materials while humidity creates problems you can’t even see yet.
When we install your new siding, you get materials specifically chosen for Maryland’s Eastern Shore climate. No more worrying about storm damage or energy bills climbing because your exterior can’t handle the elements.
Your home stays protected, looks great, and actually helps reduce your heating and cooling costs. That’s what happens when siding is installed right the first time.
Bay Area Exteriors has been protecting Eastern Shore homes for over 30 years. We’re one of the top 2% of contractors nationwide with GAF Master Elite certification – which means we meet the strictest standards for licensing, insurance, and workmanship.
We understand Riviera Beach’s unique challenges. The salt air from the Chesapeake Bay, the humidity, the storms that roll through – we’ve seen what works and what fails in this environment.
Our team handles everything from insurance claims to final cleanup, so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors or worry about whether the job meets local building codes.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current siding and underlying structure. This tells us exactly what needs attention before new materials go up.
Next, we handle all the prep work – removing old siding, checking for moisture damage, and making sure your home’s structure is solid. If we find issues, we fix them properly so your new siding has a strong foundation.
Installation happens fast but carefully. Most homes are completed in one day, using materials rated for coastal conditions and installed to exceed local wind resistance requirements. We clean up completely when we’re done – the only sign we were there is your beautiful new siding.

In Riviera Beach, your siding needs to handle salt air, high humidity, and storms that can bring 70+ mph winds. We install vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding – but only versions specifically rated for coastal environments.
Vinyl siding here gets UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading from intense summer sun. Fiber cement siding includes moisture barriers because humidity in this area can cause problems long before you see exterior damage.
Every installation includes proper insulation and vapor barriers. This isn’t just about looks – it’s about creating a system that keeps moisture out, improves energy efficiency, and stands up to whatever the Chesapeake Bay weather throws at it.
Siding lifespan in Riviera Beach depends heavily on material choice and proper installation. Vinyl siding typically lasts 20-30 years here when properly installed with UV protection, while fiber cement can go 30-50 years.
Wood siding has the shortest lifespan at 15-25 years due to our humidity and salt air, requiring regular maintenance to prevent rot and warping. The key is choosing materials rated for coastal conditions and having them installed with proper moisture barriers.
We only recommend and install siding systems designed to handle salt air corrosion, high humidity, and the temperature swings common in Maryland’s Eastern Shore climate.
Fiber cement siding performs best in Riviera Beach’s coastal environment. It resists salt air corrosion, won’t warp from humidity, and handles temperature fluctuations without cracking.
Vinyl siding is also excellent here when it includes UV-resistant coatings and proper backing. It’s more affordable than fiber cement and still provides decades of protection against our coastal conditions.
Wood siding can work but requires significantly more maintenance in our climate. We typically recommend it only when homeowners specifically want the natural look and are committed to regular sealing and treatment to prevent moisture damage.
Siding installation in Riviera Beach typically ranges from $7,000 to $25,000 depending on your home’s size, material choice, and complexity. Vinyl siding runs $7-11 per square foot installed, while fiber cement costs $12-18 per square foot.
Maryland labor costs are higher than national averages, running $40-75 per hour, because contractors here need specialized knowledge of coastal installation requirements. Additional costs may include removing old siding ($1-2 per square foot) and upgrading insulation.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, including any prep work needed. Many customers are surprised to learn their insurance covers storm-related siding damage, often leaving them responsible for just their deductible.
Yes, properly installed siding with modern insulation can significantly reduce energy costs in Riviera Beach homes. Old or damaged siding allows conditioned air to escape and humid outside air to infiltrate your home.
New siding installation includes vapor barriers and often upgraded insulation, creating a better thermal envelope. This means your HVAC system works less to maintain comfortable temperatures, especially important during our humid summers and variable winters.
The energy savings often offset a significant portion of the installation cost over time. We can show you specific insulation options that maximize energy efficiency while ensuring proper moisture management in our coastal climate.
Absolutely. We work directly with insurance companies to document storm damage and ensure you receive proper coverage for necessary repairs or replacement.
Our team knows exactly what insurance adjusters look for when assessing siding damage from wind, hail, or storm debris. We provide detailed documentation, meet with adjusters on-site, and advocate for complete repairs rather than temporary patches.
Many of our customers end up paying only their deductible for complete siding replacement after storm damage. We handle all the paperwork and communication with your insurance company, making the process as smooth as possible during an already stressful time.
Several signs indicate it’s time for replacement rather than repair in Riviera Beach’s challenging climate. Multiple areas of cracking, warping, or fading suggest the material has reached the end of its useful life in our coastal environment.
Interior signs are equally important – water stains, increased energy bills, or feeling drafts near exterior walls often mean your siding system is failing. If repairs are needed in multiple areas, replacement usually provides better long-term value.
We provide honest assessments during our free inspections. Sometimes a few targeted repairs can extend your siding’s life, but we’ll tell you when replacement makes more financial sense than continuing to patch failing materials.
