What would you like to improve?

Eight kinds of exterior work, each with its own page on options, scope, and cost.

What a finished exterior should look like

Siding courses that run straight and even, trim sealed at every joint, flashing tucked where the water runs, and a yard left the way you had it. That is what a finished job should show when you walk it at the final punch list.

Craftsman bungalow with sage green lap siding, white window casings, tapered porch columns on brick piers, and a wood front door at dusk.

Start with what your home needs.

The right scope depends on what is there now and what you want to change.

Repair

Repair fits when the problem is contained and the material around it is sound: one wall of cracked siding, a single window that fogs or sticks, a gutter seam that drips, a run of soft trim under a leak. The damaged piece comes out, the cause is checked (flashing, drainage, fasteners), and matching material goes back in. A repair costs less than replacement and holds up as long as the rest of the system still has life in it.

Replace

Replacement fits when the material has reached the end of its life or the repairs would outnumber the sound sections: siding failing on several walls, single-pane or rotted-frame windows throughout, a roof past its rated service life, gutters pulling away at every hanger. New components go in as a system, with the flashing, underlayment, and trim that connect them, so the result does not depend on what was left behind.

Refresh

Refresh fits when the structure is sound and the finish is not: chalking or peeling paint, faded stain, mismatched trim, worn hardware and light fixtures, a front door that works but looks tired. The surface is washed, sanded and primed where it needs it, then repainted or restained in a finish made for exterior exposure. A refresh changes how the house reads from the street without rebuilding anything behind the surface.

What your estimate should make clear

Whoever you hire, a good estimate answers these before work begins. Use them to compare your options and decide with a clear scope in front of you.

Written scope

Siding replacement: front and side walls

Example layout

  1. The work included

    Each task in the job, wall by wall or opening by opening.

    Front and both side walls: remove the old lap siding, inspect the sheathing, then install new siding, trim, and corners.

  2. The materials proposed

    Product, profile, and finish, named so you can look them up.

    Fiber cement lap siding and trim boards, with the product line, exposure, and color written out.

  3. The preparation and cleanup

    What is protected, what is removed, and what the site looks like when the crew leaves.

    Plantings, windows, and walkways covered before tear-off; debris hauled away and the yard swept for nails at the end of each day.

  4. Any exclusions

    What is not in the price, so nothing is assumed.

    • Window replacement
    • Interior repairs
    • Permit fees, unless listed

  5. How changes will be handled

    What happens when hidden damage appears or you change a selection.

    Damaged sheathing found after tear-off is photographed and priced, and you approve it before it is repaired.

From first conversation to final walkthrough

The four stages of an exterior project, and what to expect at each one.

  1. Talk through the project

    Tell us what you want to repair or update. A few details about the home and what you have noticed are enough to start.

  2. Review the home and options

    A site review identifies the work involved, checks the usual trouble spots, and covers the choices that fit your home.

  3. Agree on the scope and schedule

    Review what is included, what is not, and how changes are handled before any work is scheduled.

  4. Walk through the result

    Review the completed work together, along with the applicable care and warranty information for what was installed.

Start dates, sequence, and warranty terms are confirmed in the written scope for each job.

Questions before you call

Longer answers in the homeowner guides

Do I need a full exterior remodel?

Usually not. Most projects address one trade: a section of rotted siding, a set of failed windows, a roof at the end of its cycle, or a repaint. A whole-exterior scope makes sense when several systems are failing together, because siding, windows, trim, and paint meet at the same flashing and are cheaper to fix once than one at a time. A site review sorts a single repair from a larger scope before anything is written.

What affects the estimate?

Six things, in roughly this order: the size of the area (wall, roof, or opening count), the condition of what is there now (rot, failed sheathing, old layers to remove), the material chosen, the preparation the surface needs, access and site protection, and how much of the finish work (paint, trim, cleanup) is in scope. Every 916 Exteriors service page lists the cost factors for that trade so you can see which ones apply to your home.

How long will the work take?

Most exterior projects follow the same sequence: site review, then material lead time (longest for special-order windows, doors, and tile), then the work itself, done in sections so no wall or roof is left open overnight, then the walkthrough. Ask for the expected sequence and start date in writing before work is scheduled; no contractor should quote a duration before seeing the house.

What happens after I request an estimate?

Your request is saved with a reference number, we review the type of work and confirm coverage for your ZIP code, and then we contact you the way you chose to talk through the project and arrange a site review. Submitting the form does not book an appointment or commit you to anything.
