What to know about siding installation
New siding is the most visible part of an exterior remodel, but it is also the last layer in a stack. Under it are a weather-resistant barrier, flashing and, behind that, sheathing and framing. We install siding the way it should be: from the inside out.
A typical E&MC Remodeling siding project includes removing old siding, inspecting and repairing sheathing, wrapping the wall, flashing windows and doors, then installing lap siding and trim. Our photos show the stages, from white house wrap with window flashing to gray siding hung with an even reveal along a long wall.
Many houses around Vallejo are on slopes, and that changes how the work is staged. Scaffolding along a hillside side yard has to be set safely before any siding goes up.
Clearances and edges deserve special attention. Siding should stop above grade and above roof lines so it can dry, and every cut edge should be sealed before it is hung. We also check that kick-out flashing is installed where a roof meets a wall, since that small piece directs water into the gutter rather than behind the siding.
Signs your siding needs replacement
- Boards that are cracked, warped or swollen at the bottom edge.
- Paint that bubbles or peels even after repainting.
- Soft spots or visible rot when you press near the corners.
- Gaps at the trim where light or water can get in.
- Interior water stains or musty smells near exterior walls.

What affects the cost of siding installation
Siding pricing is driven by area and condition. The main factors:
Square footage and height
More wall area and higher walls mean more material, scaffolding and labor time.
Material choice
Different siding types vary in cost and maintenance. We explain your options.
Hidden damage
Rot or moisture damage behind old siding adds repair work.
Openings and details
Many windows, corners and transitions slow the work.
Why choose E&MC Remodeling for siding installation
We do the work in the right order, including the layers no one sees. A siding job that only looks good on day one is not worth doing, and we would rather explain why a repair is needed than cover it.
Where we do this work
We install siding in Vallejo and Marin County, including hillside homes.
Siding Installation FAQs
How long does siding installation take?
It depends on the size of the house and the weather. A whole-house job takes several days to a couple of weeks, with extra time if there is hidden damage.
Do you replace the house wrap?
Yes. A new weather-resistant barrier is applied before siding goes on and flashed correctly at windows and doors.
Can you repair part of my siding?
Yes, though matching old siding can be tricky. We will tell you whether a repair will blend.
Does siding replacement require a permit?
Often, especially when structure or openings change. We check your city or county rules.
Do you paint siding?
Yes. Exterior painting and siding are handled together so the finish is consistent.
