What a full re-side involves
A proper replacement starts with the old siding coming off. That is the only way to see the sheathing, the old building paper and the flashing around windows and doors. Soft or stained boards are cut out and replaced before anything new goes on.
Next comes a water-resistive barrier, usually a house wrap lapped and taped so water runs down and out. Windows, doors, hose bibs and light blocks get flashing or mounting blocks, corners and trim go up, and the siding itself goes on last, course by course.
Most Rochester Hills subdivisions were built with vinyl, aluminum or wood lap siding, often with brick on the front. A re-side can keep the same look or change the material. Ask the contractor to explain the options for your walls before you settle on one.
Siding Replacement: common questions
Do I need to replace all the siding at once?
Not always. If the damage is on one wall and matching panels are still available, a repair may do. If the siding is brittle or faded everywhere, piecing it in tends to look patchy. The contractor can tell you which applies.
Can new siding go over the old siding?
Some products allow it over a flat, sound wall, but covering old siding hides rot and adds thickness at windows and trim. Many contractors prefer a tear-off so the wall can be checked. Ask why they recommend one or the other.
Does re-siding need a permit in Rochester Hills?
The city lists aluminum or vinyl siding with no structural work as not needing a building permit. Other materials or structural repairs are worth checking with the Building Department on (248) 656-4615 before work starts.
