Warped vinyl siding was replaced at this Leland home, with new horizontal panels fitted around existing windows, utility penetrations and trim.
RGR installed horizontal sliding windows in previously solid bathroom walls at a Wilmington home, with new openings, flashing, restored lap siding and interior trim.
Siding changes the look of your home, but RGR also wants to understand why you are replacing it. Tell us about damaged areas, maintenance concerns and the trim or window details you want to improve along with the cladding.
We’ll discuss the visible finish and the wall behind it. Your project manager helps keep material selections, flashing, trim and any repairs revealed during removal clear, so you know which choices are planned and which conditions may need a separate approval.
Consider the look you want, weather exposure, trim and transitions around windows, doors and roofing. Compatible materials and flashing details matter as much as the finish. The Waterford exterior rot-repair project in Leland shows why the wall behind the siding can change the repair scope.
Your proposal should identify removal, disposal, flashing, trim and finishing work. If old siding conceals damaged sheathing or framing, the agreement explains how additional repairs are approved. Related fascia repairs and soffit repairs should be identified separately when needed.
A useful estimate defines the work, materials and assumptions before the total. These are the main factors to discuss for your property.
The extent of replacement, siding product, trim and finish selections affect the proposal.
Flashing, openings and transitions need to be reviewed with the wall assembly.
Damaged sheathing or framing, building height, access and disposal may change the scope.

Read article →A localized repair may be possible if a compatible product is available and the surrounding construction is sound. Matching requirements and the condition of the remaining siding affect the scope. Underlying sheathing, flashing and the source of water entry may also need attention.
Only if the scope addresses the source of water entry. Flashing, drainage, and window-to-wall connections should be evaluated before new siding covers the area.
Compare appearance, maintenance, exposure, installation requirements, and budget. RGR can review appropriate options for the building and proposed work.
