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 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. Lead-safe practices matter on homes built before 1978, since disturbed painted trim may contain lead.
Re-siding is a natural time to improve the wall. 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
These are the replacement scopes South Paris 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
Dented, chalky aluminum is one of the most common replacements. Contractors pull it, inspect the old sheathing underneath, and install the new material over correct wrap.
Rotted Sheathing Repair During Re-Siding
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
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. Crews often start on the most exposed wall and pull a few courses to get a preview of what the rest of the house holds. 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 usual suspects are rot under windows, rot along the bottom where siding touched dirt or mulch, and rot below roof-wall junctions that lacked 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. That process takes a little longer, but it is the reason a properly replaced wall lasts for decades.

What South Paris Homeowners Said After Their Re-Side
Follow-up notes from South Paris callers, shared with permission and trimmed for length.
Our old aluminum came off to reveal two walls with zero house wrap. The pro wrapped the whole house, replaced several sheets of sheathing at the quoted allowance, and the new fiber cement looks great.
Paul and Gina R.Aluminum to fiber cement, South ParisThe 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.
Teresa V.Full re-side, South ParisThey 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, South ParisThe 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, South ParisThe old hardboard was swollen and falling apart. The crew tore it off, fixed the wall, wrapped it, and finished the new vinyl in less than a week, cleaning up daily.

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 South Paris?
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?
Your contractor should show you the rot and replace it at the per-sheet price in the 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 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?
Full replacements often require a permit, particularly when sheathing is replaced. Your contractor should check with the local building office and take care of it.
