Whats the condition of my current siding and sheathing?
Having been involved in several hundred siding projects over the past several years, I know that there’s usually more going on under your existing siding than expected. There is often rot, and moisture damage that is undetectable from the surface, especially with Masonite and pressed-board type products. Some companies will convince you to install new vinyl siding right over the existing. But I recommend stripping the surface to unveil potential problems.
