Installing new siding can dramatically change the appearance of your home and the transformation may make it easier to sell your property. Siding can also provide an extra layer of protection for your property. Loose, cracked or missing panels, shingles or other types of siding may enable moisture and insects to enter, which increase the potential for exterior damage.

You can replace or upgrade your siding with an assortment of products, including vinyl, fiber cement, aluminum and wooden shakes, which can accommodate every budget, style of house and personal preference.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding has become the most popular cladding material in the country because of its low cost, versatility and low maintenance. An attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners, vinyl siding products offer an impressive combination of durability and color options. Vinyl is the least expensive cladding material to install.

Vinyl siding is available in a number of different profiles, including horizontal and vertical panels. Style options include Dutch lap, beaded, shakes and shingles as well as board and batten, fish scales and scallops. Widely used, vinyl siding continues to be one of the best siding options available.

Aluminum Siding

Although not commonly used, metal is an option for siding. It is mainly associated with contemporary and modern style buildings. Types of metal used include aluminum, copper and zinc as well as various steel alloys.

Metal can be formed to accommodate various required shapes, curves and edges. The strength and the longevity of metal surpass that of most of the common siding materials currently available on the market.

Wood Siding

Natural wood shingles or clapboard siding offers a rich look and traditional charm if properly maintained. Wood is also one of the more expensive options available. It requires periodic maintenance, such as caulking and painting or staining to prevent weather damage.

In addition to rot, wood is susceptible to insects, rodents and other pests. Although it is resistant to impact, wood can warp, twist and burn. Depending on the level of maintenance, wood siding can last up to a century.

Siding Removal Process

Steps to Replace Siding

The removal and replacement process may vary depending on the type of siding you have.

Remove trim or accessories first, then pull off the siding panels or boards. You may need to use a pry bar or other tools to loosen the siding, and be careful not to damage any underlying structure or insulation.
With the old siding removed, inspect the underlayment for any damage or deterioration. Repair or replace any damaged underlayment before installing the new siding.
Before installing the new siding, install new flashing around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent water from getting behind the siding and causing damage.
Once the underlayment and flashing are in place, install the new siding. This may involve cutting the new siding to size and nailing or screwing it in place. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, and be sure to leave the proper amount of expansion space for the siding to move with temperature changes.
Install new trim and accessories: Finally, install any new trim or accessories, such as corner pieces or soffit vents.

Keep in mind that this is a general process and the specific process may vary based on your home's construction and the type of siding you have. If you're not comfortable doing this work yourself, it's best to hire a professional siding contractor like C.A.S. Roofing and Siding.
