Benefits of Window & Siding Upgrades
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
New energy‑star windows and insulated siding significantly reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Proper sealing and Low‑E glass panels improve comfort, cut HVAC usage, and reduce utility bills, especially given Southwest Pennsylvania’s severe seasonal temperature swings.
Improved Curb Appeal
Vinyl, wood, or fiber‑cement siding paired with modern windows revitalizes your home’s look. Choose from a variety of siding textures and trim colors, along with window grid patterns and finishes, to complement architectural style and increase resale value in Fayette County neighborhoods.
Greater Weather Resistance
High-quality siding and correctly installed windows protect homes against wind-driven rain, snow infiltration, and hailstorms. Sealing and flashing repairs reduce structural moisture risks, helping prevent mold, rot, and interior damage—even during heavy seasonal weather events common in our region.
Reduced Maintenance Needs
Durable materials like vinyl and fiber-cement resist rot, warping, and insect damage, requiring little upkeep—no repainting or staining is needed. Modern windows with durable frames and self-cleaning glass cuts down cleaning frequency, ideal for low-maintenance living in suburban Southwest Pennsylvania homes.
Noise Reduction
Upgrading windows and building insulated siding walls improves sound dampening significantly. Dense siding boards and double- or triple-pane windows reduce outdoor traffic and neighbor noise intrusion, creating a quieter, more peaceful living environment for families in Fayette County.
Increased Property Value
Home buyers favor upgraded exteriors and energy-efficient features. Certified window and siding upgrades installed by professionals often recoup a large portion of their investment at resale. Strengthening your home’s envelope supports asking price and marketability within Southwest Pennsylvania real estate trends.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should siding be replaced?
Siding lifespan depends on material—vinyl lasts 25–40 years, and fiber cement lasts up to 50. Visible wear, warping, or fading after 20+ years signals replacement. Local climate stresses can accelerate aging. We provide assessments and timelines based on material performance.
Are new windows worth the cost?
Yes. Energy-efficient windows reduce heating and cooling costs, improve comfort, and boost home value. Tax credits may apply. Over time, savings on utility bills and durability benefits make the investment worthwhile for homeowners focused on long-term performance.
Can siding help eliminate air drafts?
Absolutely. Quality insulated siding with properly sealed joints and soffits forms a continuous thermal barrier, preventing drafts. Combined with weather-resistant windows, it reduces energy loss and improves home comfort, even during windy Fayette County weather.
Do you handle historic or custom homes?
Yes. We install siding and windows that match the character of historic, Victorian, or architectural homes using custom trim, restoration-grade windows, and selective materials. Our approach preserves charm and meets performance expectations for traditional properties in Perryopolis.
What warranty do you offer?
We provide manufacturer warranties on siding and windows for material defects. Installation warranties cover workmanship for one year. Extended warranty options may apply for custom products. We assist with warranty documentation and claims if needed.
Will new siding prevent mold or pest issues?
Quality siding and flashing systems block moisture entry, reducing risk of mold and wood-destroying insects. Vinyl and fiber cement resist rot and termites. Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup underneath siding, protecting structural integrity and air quality.
How long does a siding and window project take?
Typical residential projects take one to three weeks, depending on home size and materials. Weather conditions and custom details may affect timing. We prepare schedules, monitor progress daily, and complete work on time without cutting corners.
Can I finance window and siding upgrades?
Yes. Financing options include home improvement loans, manufacturer financing, and tax credit incentive guidance. We provide cost estimates and assist in securing financing. Most homeowners can upgrade their exterior without a large upfront payment.

Testimonials
AH Construction did an awesome job rehabbing the outside of our house. Alvin's pricing was great. They redid everything on the outside of our house except for the wood on the side porch. Alvin's team doesn't mess around. They get to work and get it done right. I do not hesitate to recommend their work.

My family has many years of experience in the building trades and were very impressed with their craftsmanship. We worked as a team to overcome some issues that developed towards the end and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Huge thank you to Alvin and his crew for being a part of our build!!
