A complete siding installation touches every surface of your home's exterior. Here is the exact process we follow on every Wisconsin project.
A typical siding installation in Wisconsin takes 5-14 days depending on home size and siding type. The process includes old siding removal, sheathing inspection/repair, housewrap installation, new siding installation, trim/flashing work, and cleanup. Most Wisconsin municipalities require a building permit for siding replacement.
