Every siding crew has been burned by this

🏠

You tear off the old siding and find rotted OSB, missing house wrap, and moisture damage across entire walls. None of that was visible during the estimate.

🐛

Termite or carpenter ant damage behind the siding means structural repairs before new material goes up. The client thinks it's included.

📏

Client decides to upgrade from vinyl to James Hardie fiber cement mid-project. Different fasteners, flashing, and labor rates. Completely different job.

Change orders siding crews deal with on every project

Sheathing Replacement

$2,000 - $7,000

Rotted or delaminated OSB/plywood behind the siding. You can't nail new material to mush. Full sheets need to come out and be replaced.

Insect & Moisture Damage

$1,500 - $6,000

Termites, carpenter ants, or years of water infiltration have compromised framing members. Structural repair comes before any siding goes back up.

Material Upgrades

$3,000 - $15,000

Switching from vinyl to fiber cement or engineered wood means new trim details, different flashing, and significantly more labor per square.

House Wrap & Moisture Barrier

$1,500 - $5,000

Old homes have no WRB at all, just tar paper or bare sheathing. Installing Tyvek, rain screen, or rigid foam adds a full layer to every wall before siding starts.

Window & Door Trim Integration

$1,000 - $4,000

New siding requires new J-channel, casing, drip caps, and flashing around every opening. Old trim doesn't match the new profile and needs replacing.

Soffit & Fascia Replacement

$800 - $3,500

Rotted fascia boards and damaged soffit panels discovered once the old siding comes off. You can't install new siding against failing trim and ventilation.
