In some cases, cedar siding can be installed over existing materials, but it depends on the condition and type of your current siding. We need to assess the structural integrity and ensure proper support for the cedar’s weight.Installing over existing siding can save on removal costs, but only if the underlying material is in good condition. Any moisture damage, rot, or structural issues must be addressed first to prevent future problems.The best approach varies by home, which is why we always do a thorough evaluation before recommending installation over existing siding versus complete removal. Our goal is ensuring your cedar siding performs optimally for decades, not just saving money upfront.
