Choosing Siding for the Bethlehem Climate
Before you pick a material, look at what the Bethlehem weather does to an exterior wall over the years:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Pennsylvania sits in region 2.
Cold-weather impacts. Cold makes vinyl stiff and easier to crack when something hits it. Thicker panels survive a winter of shovels, balls and ladders better; fiber cement ignores the cold, but its cut ends must be sealed.
Humidity and mildew. Damp air keeps shaded walls wet in Bethlehem, which feeds mildew and green algae. Vinyl and fiber cement wash clean; bare wood needs a sound finish and regular cleaning to avoid rot.
Upper-wall stains. If the house has had ice dams, say so before work starts. Stains high on the walls usually mean water got behind the old siding, and that sheathing should be opened and checked.
Mild days between seasons suit siding best: vinyl cuts cleanly, paint and caulk cure properly, and rain is less likely to stall the job. Compared with the northernmost cities in this Pennsylvania guide, Bethlehem lies about 1.5° farther south; stronger sun makes fade-resistant colors a smart choice here. About 45 miles north of Philadelphia, Bethlehem has its own labor market, and the siding prices on this page are worked out for Bethlehem rather than taken from the bigger city.
