Vinyl, Hardie fiber cement, and Everlast composite siding for Arlington homes — proper weather barriers, PVC trim systems, and sealed transitions that protect the wall assembly for decades. CertainTeed 5-Star Siding Contractor. Google Guaranteed. 150+ five-star reviews.
Arlington’s siding tells you the home’s age before you look at any records. Original wood clapboard on a Queen Anne in Jason Heights. Aging cedar shingles on a 1920s bungalow. Aluminum from a 1960s renovation layered over the original. Whatever’s on the wall now, what’s behind it matters more — and on homes this old, there’s always something to address.

Arlington homes range from 1850s Italianates with original clapboard to mid-century ranches with cedar or aluminum to newer builds with vinyl. Each era used different wall assemblies. We handle all of them — and we address what’s behind the siding, not just the surface.
Full vinyl siding replacement runs $35,000–$45,000 depending on home size and trim scope. Hardie fiber cement and Everlast composite start around $60,000 and go up with architectural details. These are complete projects — old siding removal, sheathing inspection, weather barrier, new siding, and full PVC trim.
Vinyl is the most affordable — low maintenance, wide color selection, solid performance. Hardie fiber cement looks and feels more substantial, resists impact, and holds its appearance longer. Everlast composite is our primary premium option — factory-finished, fade-resistant, with strong warranties. Most Arlington homeowners choosing a reside go with Hardie or Everlast for long-term value.
We strongly recommend it. Old wood trim is often rotted behind the surface, and leaving it compromises the new installation. Cellular PVC won’t rot, doesn’t need painting, and gives the exterior a clean finish. Nearly all Arlington projects include full PVC trim.
Most full projects take 2–3 weeks. Arlington’s larger homes may take slightly longer. We work section by section to keep the home weathertight throughout and provide a clear timeline at signing.
Yes — and it’s one of the most critical parts of the project. When we strip old siding, we inspect every square foot of sheathing. Any rot, water damage, or insect damage gets repaired before the weather barrier and new siding go on. Even well-maintained Arlington homes have hidden moisture damage behind century-old clapboard.
They can. Arlington’s seven historic districts have design guidelines for exterior changes. Siding material, color, and trim profile may require Historic Districts Commission review. We can help navigate the process and recommend options that meet both performance and appearance requirements.
Yes. With the old siding off and sheathing exposed, it’s the ideal time to add continuous exterior insulation. Many of Arlington’s pre-war homes have minimal wall insulation — adding it during a reside can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
