Tap to Call +1-844-782-0929A Full Re-Side Is Really Three Jobs in One
A replacement is really three jobs: removal, wall repair, and new installation. The removal is where you find out what the old siding was hiding. On older homes we hear about missing house wrap, rotted sheathing below windows, and kick-out flashing that was never installed.
A careful contractor plans for those surprises up front. Your quote should carry a per-sheet price for replacement sheathing so the cost of hidden rot is known ahead of time. On houses built before 1978, lead-safe work practices matter because old painted trim may contain lead.
Replacement is also your chance to upgrade. Many homeowners add rigid foam or insulated vinyl, switch from aluminum to fiber cement, re-flash every window, and replace tired soffit and fascia while the scaffolding is already up.

What a Full Replacement Can Include
The replacement projects we route most often in Bakersfield include:
Full Tear-Off and Re-Side
Old siding is stripped to the sheathing, the wall is inspected and repaired, and new cladding goes on over a fresh weather barrier.
Upgrading From Aluminum Siding
Faded, dented aluminum is among the most frequent re-sides. Pros remove it, check the old fiberboard or plank sheathing beneath, and install the new material over proper wrap.
Sheathing and Rot Replacement
Spongy sheathing gets cut out to sound framing and replaced before new siding is installed. The water source is fixed at the same time.
Energy Upgrades During Replacement
Rigid foam board or insulated vinyl adds thermal value and stiffens the wall. Window and door trim depths are adjusted to account for the added thickness.
Re-Flashing Openings
With the old siding off, every opening can be re-flashed correctly: sill pan, jamb tape, head flashing, and drip cap.
Soffit, Fascia, and Trim Replacement
Worn soffit and fascia often get replaced with the siding for a uniform finish. Vented soffit also helps attic ventilation.
What Turns Up When the Old Siding Comes Off
Each tear-off works a bit like an investigation. The crew starts on the worst wall, usually the one with the most weather exposure, and takes a few courses off to see what the rest of the house is likely hiding. Dark stains on the backs of panels, swollen sheathing edges, and rusted fasteners show exactly where water has been entering.
The most common findings are rot below windows, rot at the bottom of walls where siding met soil or mulch, and rot under roof-to-wall intersections that never had kick-out flashing. Older homes may also have fiberboard sheathing that crumbles when wet, or no weather barrier at all.
A good replacement pro photographs each problem area before repairing it and shows you the damage, so the sheathing allowance in your quote is applied transparently. Every repaired wall then gets wrapped, flashed, and inspected before the new siding goes up. It takes a bit more time, and it is why a properly replaced wall lasts decades.
Typical replacement requests
- Old aluminum that is dented or chalking
- First-generation vinyl that is cracking
- Swollen hardboard or composite siding
- Wood siding with rot and peeling paint on many walls

What Bakersfield Homeowners Said After Their Re-Side
A few follow-up comments from callers around Bakersfield, used with permission and edited for length.
We knew the aluminum had to go. When it came off, two walls had no house wrap at all. The contractor wrapped everything, replaced four sheets of sheathing at the price in the quote, and the fiber cement looks fantastic.
Paul and Gina R.Aluminum to fiber cement, BakersfieldTheirs was the only quote that priced sheathing per sheet, so when they found rot under the kitchen window, the cost was already settled.
Teresa V.Full re-side, BakersfieldThey used plastic sheeting and a HEPA vac because our house is from the 1950s and the old trim had lead paint. I appreciated that they brought it up before I did.
Walter M.Lead-safe replacement, BakersfieldThe insulated vinyl warmed up our upstairs, and they swept the yard with a magnet so the kids could play safely the same evening.
Jasmine L.Insulated vinyl replacement, BakersfieldOur hardboard siding was swelling at every edge. The replacement crew had it off, repaired, wrapped, and re-sided in vinyl in under a week, and they cleaned up every day.

How do I know if my siding needs replacement instead of repair?
Widespread cracking, brittleness, fading, panels that keep releasing, or soft sheathing in several places usually point to replacement. Damage on one wall with sound siding elsewhere usually means repair.
What does a siding replacement cost in Bakersfield?
Price depends on material, wall area, height, trim, tear-off, and how much sheathing needs replacing. A solid quote breaks each item out so bids can be compared fairly.
What happens if rot is found under the old siding?
The contractor should show you the damage and replace it using the per-sheet allowance in your quote. That is exactly why the allowance should be set before work starts.
Do I need to be home during the replacement?
Usually not, though you should be reachable and present for the kickoff and final walkthrough. Expect noise and keep vehicles and pets clear of the work zone.
Is lead paint a concern during siding removal?
Houses built before 1978 may have lead in painted surfaces. Contractors working on those homes should follow lead-safe practices, including containment, careful cleanup, and proper disposal.
Will a replacement need a permit?
Full replacements often require a permit, particularly when sheathing is replaced. Your contractor should confirm with the Bakersfield building department and handle it.
