Your siding isn’t just decoration. It’s your home’s first defense against Eastern Shore weather that can turn a small problem into thousands in damage.
When your siding works properly, you sleep better knowing your family and investment are protected. No more worrying about water getting behind failing panels during those heavy Maryland storms. No more watching your energy bills climb because drafts are sneaking through gaps.
The right siding installation means decades of protection, not years of headaches. You get curb appeal that actually lasts, energy efficiency that shows up on your bills, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done right the first time.
Bay Area Exteriors LLC has been protecting Eastern Shore homes for over three decades. As a family-owned company, we understand what Maryland homeowners face when dealing with the region’s challenging climate.
We’re not just contractors – we’re neighbors who live here year-round and see firsthand how coastal conditions can destroy poorly installed siding. That’s why we earned GAF Master Elite certification, ranking us among the top 2% of contractors nationwide.
When you’re dealing with Neavitt’s proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, you need someone who understands how salt air and humidity affect different siding materials. Bay Area Exteriors brings that local knowledge to every installation.
First, we come out and assess your current siding situation. No pressure, no sales pitch – just an honest evaluation of what needs to happen and why.
If you’re moving forward, we handle all the prep work properly. That means removing old materials when necessary, addressing any underlying issues, and making sure your home’s structure is ready for the new installation.
The installation itself follows GAF standards, which means proper fastening, correct spacing, and attention to details that prevent future problems. We clean up completely when finished, leaving you with siding that’s built to handle whatever Maryland weather throws at it.

Not all siding performs the same in Eastern Shore conditions. Vinyl works well here because it handles humidity and temperature swings without the maintenance headaches of wood. It comes with 20-40 year warranties and won’t fade or need repainting.
Fiber cement gives you the look of wood with better durability against Maryland’s climate extremes. It resists moisture damage and holds paint longer than traditional wood siding, though it requires some maintenance every 4-5 years.
For homeowners who want natural wood, proper installation and regular maintenance are critical. In Neavitt’s coastal environment, wood needs extra protection against moisture and salt air. We know how to install it right and will tell you exactly what maintenance schedule you’re looking at.
Most residential siding installations take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size and the material you choose. Weather can affect the timeline since proper installation requires dry conditions for certain steps.
We schedule projects to account for Maryland’s unpredictable weather patterns. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you informed if conditions cause any delays.
The key is not rushing the job. Proper prep work and installation techniques take time, but that’s what ensures your siding will protect your home for decades instead of failing in a few years.
Vinyl and fiber cement both perform well in Eastern Shore conditions. Vinyl handles humidity and salt air without maintenance issues, while fiber cement offers durability with a more natural appearance.
Wood siding can work but requires significant maintenance in coastal environments. The salt air and higher humidity levels mean you’re looking at refinishing every 3-5 years to prevent rot and damage.
We evaluate your specific location, budget, and maintenance preferences to recommend the best option. We’ve seen how different materials perform over decades in this exact climate.
Siding costs vary based on material choice, home size, and any prep work needed. Vinyl typically offers the best value for coastal properties, while fiber cement costs more upfront but may last longer.
The real cost consideration is total ownership. Cheap installation often means expensive repairs later, especially in Maryland’s challenging climate. We provide detailed estimates so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We also help homeowners work with insurance companies when storm damage is involved. Many siding replacements qualify for coverage, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
We handle both repairs and complete replacements. Sometimes a few damaged sections can be repaired effectively, saving you money while maintaining your home’s protection.
We’ll assess the extent of damage and give you honest recommendations. If repairs will solve the problem long-term, we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why.
The key is getting an evaluation from someone who understands how coastal conditions affect different siding materials. What looks like a small repair might indicate larger problems that need addressing.
We offer manufacturer warranties on materials plus our own workmanship guarantee. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can provide enhanced warranties that cover both materials and installation.
Vinyl siding typically comes with 20-40 year warranties, while fiber cement offers similar coverage. The exact terms depend on the specific product and installation requirements.
Our workmanship warranty ensures that if installation issues arise, we’ll return to fix them at no charge. This is especially important with siding since proper installation is critical for long-term performance.
Sometimes vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials, but it’s not always the best approach. We evaluate each situation to determine what will provide the best long-term results.
Installing over damaged or improperly installed existing siding can create problems down the road. Moisture issues, structural concerns, or uneven surfaces often require complete removal first.
We’ll inspect your current siding and underlying structure to recommend the approach that ensures your new siding performs properly for decades. Sometimes spending a little more upfront saves significant money later.
