Aging Siding Struggles With Oakmont's River-Valley Climate
Many homes in Oakmont date to the early 1900s, and their original siding or later replacements are showing their age. River-valley humidity combined with Allegheny County's winter freeze cycles causes older siding to crack, warp, and let moisture into the wall cavity.
Richards Siding Delivers a Lasting Fix
