Siding Experts Serving Ecorse, Michigan
Lincoln Park Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred roofer delivering siding in Ecorse, MI — 6,000+ roofs completed in 35 years, and most Ecorse siding projects are booked within 5 business days. The full scope of what our crew covers locally starts with one page: every roofing service we offer in Ecorse.
Jefferson Ave runs straight through Ecorse's oldest blocks, past 4-squares and worker cottages that went up between 1905 and 1942 for the steel mill crews who used to live here. A century of Detroit River humidity has worked into the wood behind a lot of that original siding, and homeowners near Mill St and the riverfront often only find the rot once a contractor pulls a panel to check. On the newer streets off West Rd and Outer Dr, it's more often just tired 1960s-70s aluminum ready to be replaced. Every job traces back to the same in-house crew Lincoln Park Roofing has run since 1990.
The city's Building Department requires a permit before we start a full siding job, which we pull on your behalf. Nationally, the NRCA attributes about 47% of siding failures to installation mistakes rather than bad material, and on a river town like Ecorse where wind off the water hits harder than most inland suburbs, a sloppy install shows up fast.

Written scope & timeline
“Most Ecorse jobs I bid are on worker cottages from the 1910s and 20s, tight to the lot, tight to the river, and still wearing whatever siding got slapped on in a hurry decades ago. I always check behind it before quoting, because river humidity has a way of rotting the wood sheathing on these old 4-squares even when the siding on top still looks fine.”
— Scott, Owner of Lincoln Park Roofing · Owens Corning Preferred Contractor since 2011
6 Siding Issues We See Every Week in Ecorse
Early 20th-century 4-squares, bungalows, and worker cottages built 1905-1942 with steep pitches, plank decking, and minimal ventilation — often carrying 3-4 shingle layers from successive re-roofs. These are the failure modes our crew documents most often on Ecorse siding calls:
Faded or chalking vinyl
Homes along the West Rd and Outer Dr corridor picked up vinyl siding decades ago, and years of full sun with no tree cover out that way has chalked the surface until it wipes off gray on a hand or a rag.
Cracked or warped panels
Freeze-thaw swings off the Detroit River hit the Mill St riverfront blocks hardest, and panels there crack and warp faster than siding installed just a few streets inland.
Rotten wood behind the siding
Ecorse's worker cottages and 4-squares from 1905 to 1942 were built with plank sheathing, and water that's worked in at old joints over the decades has rotted sections of it that only show once we open a wall.
Dated 1970s-80s siding
A number of Salliotte and Gould area homes still carry the aluminum or cedar-shake look installed during a 1970s-80s remodel, and it's the first thing that dates the house on the block.
Gaps at corners & J-channel
Ecorse's older 5th St and High St homes have settled over a century, and gaps opening up at the corner trim let river wind and pests into the wall cavity year-round.
Storm-damaged siding
Wind off the river has dented aluminum and cracked vinyl on more than one Ecorse Civic Center area job, and we photograph that damage before starting so it's documented for the insurance claim.
Which is better for Ecorse homes: vinyl or James Hardie fiber cement?
For most Ecorse homes, vinyl is the smarter buy. It holds up well against river humidity and freeze-thaw swings and costs 30-50% less than fiber cement. James Hardie makes more sense on the older worker cottages near Mill St where the original wood siding profile matters for resale, or for homeowners who want the 50-year manufacturer warranty.
Siding Cost in Ecorse, MI (2026)
Most Ecorse siding projects cost between $8,000 and $25,000. Partial siding replacement on a single wall start at $5,500. Timeline: 3-7 days depending on home size.
A full Ecorse siding job typically runs $8,000 to $25,000, with older worker cottages near Mill St and 5th St often landing higher once we account for rotted plank sheathing that needs replacing before new siding goes up. A single damaged wall after a storm usually starts around $5,500. Homes off West Rd and Outer Dr, built later with simpler wall assemblies, tend to price toward the lower end of that range.
“Before calling Lincoln Park Roofing, we called two other siding companies and neither showed up for the estimate on time. LPR did, walked the whole house including the parts other crews skipped, and finished the Ecorse job without trying to upsell us on anything we hadn't asked about. The crew that quoted it was the same crew that installed it.”
