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 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. 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 Moscow
These are the replacement scopes Moscow 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.
Aluminum to Vinyl or Fiber Cement
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
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.
Adding Insulation While Re-Siding
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.
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
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
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 stains on the backs of panels, swollen sheathing edges, and rusted fasteners show exactly where water has been entering.
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 houses sometimes have crumbly fiberboard sheathing or no barrier whatsoever.
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 widespread rot or paint failure
- Re-sides tied to a sale or insurance claim

Moscow Replacement Projects, In Their Words
A few follow-up comments from callers around Moscow, 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, MoscowTheirs 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, MoscowThey 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.

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 Moscow?
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 exactly why the allowance should be set before work starts.
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 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 confirm with the Moscow building department and handle it.
