The siding replacement process, step by step

Once you approve the project, we finalize measurements and develop the prep plan. This determines material quantities, tear-off scope, and wall prep sequence.

The prep plan covers three layers

Tear-off

We remove old siding and inspect what's underneath. If sheathing is soft or rotting, it gets replaced before new material goes up. Compromised sheathing won't hold fasteners and lets moisture reach framing.

Weather-resistive barrier

Housewrap that sheds water while letting vapor escape. We overlap seams the way the manufacturer requires and tape all penetrations.

Flashing

Windows, doors, vents, and penetrations need properly placed flashing that pushes water outward—not trapped between layers. This is where most water problems start when installers skip steps.

• Wall prep determines long-term performance. Rushing through it to get panels up faster usually means callbacks later.
• We set your installation schedule during this phase. Most projects start within 2-4 weeks depending on material availability and installer schedule.

The final walk-through is your chance to review everything. We'll walk the outside, pointing out trim work and corners. If something doesn't look right, we fix it immediately.

Basic maintenance

• Rinse panels once or twice a year
• Use a soft brush and mild soap for tough stains—avoid pressure washers
• Check caulk around windows once a year
• You'll get warranty paperwork before we leave. The vinyl has a manufacturer warranty (typically 25 years to lifetime). We add our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on top, covering install problems for as long as you own the home.
• Our Gold Standard Protection Plan is included automatically—annual inspections, priority scheduling for repairs, and transferability if you sell.
• We respond to questions within 24-48 hours.
