Most areas require a building permit for full siding replacement since it affects the exterior envelope. Repair work covering just a few panels usually does not need one.
It's possible in some cases but not always recommended. Installing over damaged or rotten siding hides problems that worsen underneath. We inspect the existing surface before deciding.
Vinyl siding averages $5-8 per square foot installed. Fiber cement runs $8-13 per square foot. Cedar and engineered wood options fall in between depending on grade and profile.
Fiber cement handles temperature swings and moisture well across most climates. Vinyl is a solid budget option with minimal maintenance required. Both resist insects and rot.
Storm damage is usually covered under homeowner's insurance policies. Document the damage thoroughly with photos and file a claim before starting any repair work.
New siding returns 60-80% of its cost at resale and dramatically improves curb appeal. It's consistently ranked as one of the top exterior upgrades that homebuyers notice and value.
