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 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. 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.

What a Full Replacement Can Include
The replacement projects we route most often in Lake Shore include:
Full Tear-Off and Re-Side
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
Faded, dented aluminum is among the most frequent re-sides. 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.
Soffit, Fascia, and Trim Replacement
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. 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 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 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. Each repaired wall is then wrapped, flashed, and checked before new siding goes on. That process takes a little longer, but it is the reason a properly replaced wall lasts for decades.
Typical replacement requests
- Faded, chalky, or dented aluminum siding
- First-generation vinyl that is cracking
- Swollen hardboard or composite siding
- Wood siding with widespread rot or paint failure

Lake Shore Replacement Projects, In Their Words
A few follow-up comments from callers around Lake Shore, 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, Lake ShoreThe 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, Lake ShoreOur 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, Lake ShoreThe insulated vinyl warmed up our upstairs, and they swept the yard with a magnet so the kids could play safely the same evening.

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. If the problem is limited to one wall and the rest is solid, repair is usually enough.
What does a siding replacement cost in Lake Shore?
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?
The contractor should show you the damage and replace it using the per-sheet allowance in your 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 vehicles and pets clear of the work zone.
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 confirm with the Lake Shore building department and handle it.
