In many cases, vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials like wood, aluminum, or fiber cement siding, but this depends on the condition of your current siding and the structure underneath.
If your existing siding is firmly attached, in good structural condition, and provides a flat surface, installation over existing materials can save money on removal and disposal costs. However, if there’s rot, damage, or structural issues, we’ll need to remove the old siding first to address underlying problems.
We always inspect the existing siding thoroughly before recommending the best approach. Installing over compromised materials creates problems down the road, so we’ll be honest about what your home needs. Sometimes partial removal is the right answer – taking off damaged sections while leaving sound areas intact. Our goal is to give you a vinyl siding installation that performs properly for decades, which means making the right decision about preparation work upfront.
