A replacement is really three jobs: removal, wall repair, and new installation. Tear-off is when you learn what the old siding was covering. 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.
Re-siding is a natural time to improve the wall. 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
These are the replacement scopes Granite City callers ask about most.
Full Tear-Off and Re-Side
The existing siding comes off, the wall gets inspected and fixed, and new siding is hung over new house wrap.
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 cause of the water is corrected too.
Adding Insulation While Re-Siding
Foam board or insulated vinyl improves comfort and makes the wall stiffer. Trim at windows and doors is extended to suit the thicker wall.
Re-Flashing Openings
Once the siding is removed, each opening can be re-flashed the right way with sill pans, jamb tape, head flashing, and drip caps.
New Soffit, Fascia, and Trim
Worn soffit and fascia often get replaced with the siding for a uniform finish. Vented soffit improves attic airflow at the same time.
The Problems a Tear-Off Usually Reveals
Every tear-off is a small 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 staining on the back of old siding, mushroomed OSB edges, and rusted nails all tell the story of where water has been getting in.
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 careful contractor photographs every damaged section before fixing it and shows you, so the sheathing allowance is used openly. 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.

What Granite City Homeowners Said After Their Re-Side
A few follow-up comments from callers around Granite City, 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, Granite CityTheirs was the only quote that priced sheathing per sheet, so when they found rot under the kitchen window, the cost was already settled.

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 Granite City?
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?
Your contractor should show you the rot and replace it at the per-sheet price in the quote. That is why the allowance matters before work begins.
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 cars and pets away from the work area.
Is lead paint a concern during siding removal?
On homes built before 1978, painted surfaces may contain lead. Contractors working on those homes should follow lead-safe practices, including containment, careful cleanup, and proper disposal.
Will a replacement need a permit?
A full re-side frequently needs a permit, especially if sheathing is involved. Your contractor should check with the local building office and take care of it.
