Siding care through the Hampton Roads year
InterNACHI puts the life of vinyl siding at 60 years. A few checks a year help yours get there.
SpringMar to May
- Rinse the walls with a garden hose and a soft brush. Mildew shows first on shaded walls.
- Trim shrubs back so the siding can dry.
Summer and stormsJun to Aug · hurricane season runs Jun 1 to Nov 30
- After a storm, walk around the house and look for loose or cracked panels.
- Keep grills a few feet from the wall: heat can warp vinyl.
FallSep to Nov
- Check the caulk around windows, doors and trim, and reseal gaps.
- Clean the gutters so overflow does not run down the siding.
WinterDec to Feb
- Keep firewood and mulch off the siding.
- Look for soft or stained trim: water may be getting behind it.

Siding questions
Ask us directlyHow long does siding replacement take in Virginia Beach?
A full siding replacement on a typical Virginia Beach home takes 3 to 4 days once materials are on site. Your written estimate gives the exact days, along with any window, door, fascia or soffit work done in the same job.
What type of siding do you install?
Vinyl siding in five styles: traditional lap, Dutch lap, board and batten, shake and shingle, and insulated vinyl, with matching soffit, fascia and exterior trim. We help you choose the style and color at the free estimate visit.
Can windows be replaced at the same time as the siding?
Yes, and it is the best time when both are due. With the wall open, the crew flashes and trims each opening once, so the seal around the window becomes part of the new wall.
What does siding cost per square foot?
National cost guides published in 2026 put installed vinyl siding at roughly $4 to $9 per square foot of wall. We do not publish prices: you get the real number in a free written estimate after we see the house.
Do you check for damage behind the old siding?
Yes. Once the old siding is off we check the sheathing, fascia and soffit. If something needs repair, we show you and add it to the scope before we close the wall.
Do you work on apartment buildings and for general contractors?
Yes. We replace siding on multifamily and commercial buildings and work as the exterior subcontractor for general contractors, with our license and certificate of insurance shared on request.
