Think of replacement as three projects: demolition, wall repair, and installation. The removal is where you find out what the old siding was hiding. 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 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.

Siding Replacement Services in Ridgewood
The replacement projects we route most often in Ridgewood 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.
Aluminum to Vinyl or Fiber Cement
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. Window and door trim depths are adjusted to account for the added thickness.
Window and Door Re-Flashing
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
Tired soffit and fascia are usually replaced along with the siding for a matched look. Vented soffit also helps attic ventilation.
The Problems a Tear-Off Usually Reveals
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 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. Each repaired wall is then wrapped, flashed, and checked before new siding goes on. It takes a bit more time, and it is why a properly replaced wall lasts decades.

What Ridgewood Homeowners Said After Their Re-Side
A few follow-up comments from callers around Ridgewood, used with permission and edited 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, RidgewoodTheirs 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, RidgewoodOur house dates to the 1950s, and the contractor set up plastic and used a HEPA vacuum for the old painted trim. They raised it before I even asked.
Walter M.Lead-safe replacement, RidgewoodThe 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, RidgewoodOur 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?
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 Ridgewood?
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 on those houses should use lead-safe methods like containment, careful cleanup, and correct 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.
