Common questions

Do I need a permit to replace siding in Akron?

The city decides, and the answer can depend on whether the job is just siding or also changes insulation, sheathing or windows. Your contractor should find out, pull a permit if needed, and note it on the quote.

Which siding is best for an older house?

Vinyl is the least expensive and easiest to repair; fiber cement is heavier, costlier and painted; engineered wood falls between. NAHB rates all three to last as long as the house. On a house built before 1978, ask how the crew handles the EPA's lead renovation rule, whichever material you choose.

Is storm damage covered by insurance?

Hail and wind usually are, minus the deductible, though some policies exclude cosmetic damage. Ask whether the contractor has worked with adjusters, since the estimate is what the claim is built on.

How long will it take?

That depends on the house, the siding and the weather; nobody sides in the rain. A schedule belongs in the written quote.
