Hiring Richmond Siding Contractors

Housewrap and flashing do most of the work of keeping walls dry

Siding is the first thing people see and the first layer that keeps rain out. When panels crack, trim softens or paint keeps peeling, water is usually finding a way in, and the longer it does, the bigger the repair.

A good contractor looks past the damaged piece to what's behind it: the housewrap, the flashing around windows and doors, and the sheathing underneath. That's what decides whether you need a targeted repair or new siding on the whole wall.

You'll be connected with an independent siding contractor based near you, who can look at the house, explain what they find and give you a price.

Common reasons people call:

  • Panels blown loose or cracked after a storm
  • Soft or rotted wood siding and trim
  • Stains on inside walls that point to a leak
  • Faded, brittle siding that's ready to be replaced

Siding Contractor Richmond VA Checklist

Window trim and flashing with neat water-shedding details

Whoever you hire, it's worth confirming these before work starts:

  • Flashing at windows and doors. Most siding leaks start at openings, not in the middle of a wall.
  • Kickout flashing. Where a roof meets a wall, a small piece of flashing keeps water out of the siding.
  • Clearance. Siding needs a gap above the ground and roof lines so it doesn't wick up water.
  • Historic district rules. In the city's Old and Historic Districts, a building permit is required for siding replacement, and substitute materials such as fiber cement are generally limited to less-visible secondary elevations.
  • What's included. Trim, soffit and fascia are sometimes part of the quote and sometimes not.

Who answers when I call?

Your ZIP code comes first, then you're connected with an experienced, independent siding contractor who works near you. The contractor, not us, does the siding work.

How much does new siding run?

Vinyl siding installation in the area typically runs about $7,300 to $16,100, depending on the size of the house. Repairs typically run a few hundred dollars for vinyl and about $450 to $1,600 for wood or fiber cement. Treat those as area averages, not quotes.
