1330 N 28th St, Philadelphia · Last updated April 30, 2026
The Problem
A panel of Encore™ Double 4-1/2" x 12'1" Castle Stone Dutchlap Vinyl Siding (CertainTeed) broke off the 3rd floor side of the house. Accessible via window onto neighbor Tom's roof. The panel is a nonstandard 4.5" height — not available at Lowe's or Home Depot. Only found at Menards (ships by the case, impractical).

Came out Nov 19 for on-site assessment. Quoted $1K for the missing piece AND noted the whole siding was done poorly. Way too expensive for a single panel.
Nov 18–19 · Rejected immediately

Said he's used this siding before. "Can almost guarantee I can get the same color." ABC Supply didn't have it; was going to call around. You gave him the address & neighbor access.
Dec 8 → Dec 12 · Thread went cold after he sent sample photos

Asked for pics, you sent them. Said he'd "hunt around" for the piece. Got sidetracked by holidays & flu.

Sourcing Lead
On Jan 18, Ro sent a Home Depot link for a Double 4.5" White Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding panel (HD #302040023). It's white, not Castle Stone — but same profile/size. Could work if exact color match isn't possible.
Recommended Next Steps
- Text Nick (Expert Roofing): Best fit — knows the product, has supplier access, reasonable price. Just went cold. "Hey Nick, still able to do the siding job at 1330 N 28th?"
- Text Joe: Worth a check-in. "Hey Joe, any luck finding that siding piece?"
- If both are dead, try Ideal Siding Philadelphia (215) 876-0138 — siding-only company, most likely to source the part.
