Cuyahoga Falls homes and siding

Cuyahoga Falls is nearly as old as Akron: in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey the median year built is 1959, and 52 percent of homes were built before 1960. Houses from before 1978 fall under the EPA's lead renovation rule, so disturbing painted siding or trim on them needs an EPA- or state-certified firm.

Stow homes and siding

More of Stow's homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s than in any other two decades, 36 percent in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey; the median year built is 1979. NAHB's lifespan study puts exterior trim at about 25 years, so on a house of that age the trim is likely due before the siding is.

Hudson homes and siding

Hudson is 88 percent owner occupied and 87 percent detached houses in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, with 44 percent of its homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. Those houses are now between about 27 and 46 years old, past NAHB's roughly 25 year estimate for exterior trim.

Fairlawn homes and siding

Fairlawn's homes cluster in the 1960s and 1970s, 48 percent of them by the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey, with a median year built of 1973. For any built before 1978, the EPA's lead renovation rule applies to work that disturbs painted siding or trim.

Green homes and siding

Green spans every era: the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey puts the median year built at 1983, with 47 percent of homes built before 1980 and 27 percent since 2000, and 72 percent of them detached houses. The age of the house decides whether the EPA's lead renovation rule, which covers homes built before 1978, applies to the job.

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.
