Drexel Hill'stwins and rows were built close and clad in materials that are now decades old,from painted wood to mid-century aluminum and the occasional stucco face. Newsiding tightens a drafty twin and lifts a whole block when it is matched to itsneighbors. Volpe Enterprises has re-sided Delaware County homes since 1970 andis used to working around shared walls.


For a twin or row,the job usually means vinyl or another durable siding in a profile and colorthat suit the block, finished with trim, corners, and flashing. On a twin wekeep the reveal and color in step with the attached half so the pair stillreads as one building.
As the oldcladding comes off we check the sheathing and moisture barrier and repair anyrot or water damage before new siding goes on, so the wall is sound underneathrather than just freshly wrapped.
We re-flash thewindows, doors, and the seam where two twins meet while the walls are open,because that shared joint is where water most often gets behind older siding onthese homes.
Space is tight ona Drexel Hill lot, so we plan where materials and the dumpster sit, protect thewalk and any planting strip, and keep the work to your side of the property.
On a twin thecolor you choose sits inches from your neighbor's, so it pays to see the twotogether before you order.
The Malvernshowroom has full-size samples to handle, so you can see how a profile looks ona smaller elevation and bring a photo of the house next door for reference.
Drexel Hill'snearest Volpe location is the Malvern showroom, 52 Lancaster Ave. If you phone(484) 798-2655 first, we can set the colors you are considering out side byside.
Owners here chooseus because re-siding one half of a pair calls for as much care toward theneighbor as toward the house. Our team and trusted trade partners keep the jobcontained and clean up each evening.
Family ownershipgoes back to 1970. In the years since, Volpe has become an EPA Lead-SafeCertified Firm and earned an A+ from the Better Business Bureau, and it staysfully insured and licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
From the Malvernshowroom we re-side homes across Drexel Hill and the rest of Upper DarbyTownship, and through the surrounding Delaware County area.
On a twin, a narrowerreveal or a simpler profile often suits the scale. The vinyl and other durablematerials we install come in many profiles and colors, and we go over thechoices with you at the estimate.
Yes, we check ratherthan assume. Once the old siding is off we look over the sheathing and moisturebarrier, point out any rot or water damage, and repair it before new sidinggoes up.
We match reveal,profile, and color as closely as the products allow so the pair still reads asone building, and full-size samples let you compare against the neighboringhalf first.
Yes. Many homes herepredate 1978, so we plan for possible lead paint from the start and contain anddispose of older painted materials under our EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firmpractices.
