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 contractor plans for those surprises up front. 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.
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
The replacement projects we route most often in Salem include:
Complete Siding Tear-Off and Replacement
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. Pros remove it, check the old fiberboard or plank sheathing beneath, and install the new material over proper wrap.
Sheathing and Rot Replacement
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.
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.
Soffit, Fascia, and Trim Replacement
Worn soffit and fascia often get replaced with the siding for a uniform finish. Vented soffit improves attic airflow at the same time.
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 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.
Typical replacement requests
- Faded, chalky, or dented aluminum siding
- First-generation vinyl that is cracking

Salem Replacement Projects, In Their Words
A few follow-up comments from callers around Salem, 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, SalemThe 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, SalemThey 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. If the problem is limited to one wall and the rest is solid, repair is usually enough.
What does a siding replacement cost in Salem?
Cost is driven by material, square footage, height, trim, removal, and sheathing repair. A good quote itemizes each of these so you can compare bids 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?
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.
