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. Tear-off is when you learn what the old siding was covering. On older houses, callers often find no house wrap at all, rot beneath windows, and roof-to-wall junctions that never had kick-out flashing.
A careful pro budgets for that from the start. The quote should include a per-sheet allowance for sheathing replacement, so you know what extra rot will cost before the wall is opened. On houses built before 1978, lead-safe work practices matter because old painted trim may contain lead.
Replacement is also your chance to upgrade. Plenty of homeowners add foam board or insulated vinyl, move from aluminum to fiber cement, re-flash all the windows, and swap worn soffit and fascia while staging is in place.

What a Full Replacement Can Include
The replacement projects we route most often in Riverwoods include:
Complete Siding Tear-Off and Replacement
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
Dented, chalky aluminum is one of the most common replacements. Pros remove it, check the old fiberboard or plank sheathing beneath, and install the new material over proper wrap.
Rotted Sheathing Repair During Re-Siding
Soft OSB or plank sheathing is cut back to solid wood and replaced before any new siding goes up. The cause of the water is corrected too.
Energy Upgrades During Replacement
Rigid foam board or insulated vinyl adds thermal value and stiffens the wall. Trim at windows and doors is extended to suit the thicker wall.
Re-Flashing Openings
With the old siding off, every opening can be re-flashed correctly: sill pan, jamb tape, head flashing, and drip cap.
New Soffit, Fascia, and Trim
Worn soffit and fascia often get replaced with the siding for a uniform finish. Vented soffit also helps attic ventilation.
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 houses sometimes have crumbly fiberboard sheathing or no barrier whatsoever.
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.

Riverwoods Replacement Projects, In Their Words
Follow-up notes from Riverwoods callers, shared with permission and trimmed 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, RiverwoodsThe bid was the only one that listed the sheathing price per sheet. When they found rot under the kitchen window there was no argument about cost.

How do I know if my siding needs replacement instead of repair?
Cracking across several walls, brittle or faded panels, siding that keeps coming loose, or rot in multiple areas generally means replacement. Damage on one wall with sound siding elsewhere usually means repair.
What does a siding replacement cost in Riverwoods?
Cost is driven by material, square footage, height, trim, removal, and sheathing repair. 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 why the allowance matters before work begins.
Do I need to be home during the replacement?
Not usually, but you should be available by phone and at the start and end of the job. Expect noise, and keep cars and pets away from the work area.
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?
A full re-side frequently needs a permit, especially if sheathing is involved. Your contractor should confirm with the Riverwoods building department and handle it.
