Siding FAQs – Washington, DC

Can insurance cover siding replacement in Washington?

Homeowners insurance may cover your siding replacement in Washington if damage resulted from a covered event like wind, hail, or a recent storm. Capitol Improvements provides professional damage assessments and documentation to assist you during the claims process with your insurance adjuster.

How long does a siding replacement take in Washington?

Most residential siding replacements in Washington are completed in 5 to 10 days. The exact timeline depends on the square footage of your home, the complexity of the architecture, and whether we need to address underlying water damage or replace deteriorated sheathing and insulation.

Do Washington DC historic district rules affect siding replacement?

Yes. Many Washington neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Georgetown, and Dupont Circle have specific Historic Preservation Review Board requirements for siding materials, colors, and styles. We help homeowners navigate these regulations to ensure your siding choices meet DC preservation standards and obtain necessary permits.

What is the average cost of a siding replacement in Washington, DC?

In Washington, townhouse siding replacements typically range from $12,000 to $18,500, while single-family homes fall between $15,500 and $28,000. Final pricing depends on your home's square footage, material choice (vinyl, fiber cement, or engineered wood), and whether you opt for premium insulation upgrades.

Is fiber cement siding worth it for homes in Washington?

Fiber cement siding is highly recommended for Washington homes due to its exceptional durability against the region's humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles. This material offers superior resistance to moisture, rot, and pests, while providing an authentic wood appearance that complements DC's historic architecture and can increase your property value.

Do I need to be home during the siding installation?

No, you do not need to be home during your Washington siding installation. Our team provides daily digital photo updates and stays in communication throughout the project, though we do suggest being available for a final walkthrough and quality inspection once finished.

How do I maintain my siding in Washington's climate?

Maintaining siding in Washington involves annual gentle washing to remove dirt, pollen, and mildew that accumulate during humid summers. Inspect caulking around windows and doors regularly to prevent moisture intrusion, and trim vegetation at least 12 inches away from siding to ensure proper airflow and reduce moisture-related damage.

What are signs my siding needs replacement vs. repair?

Siding likely needs replacement if it shows widespread cracking, warping, or rotting, if you notice significantly higher energy bills, or if panels are consistently loose or falling off. Isolated damage from a single impact or small sections with cosmetic issues can often be addressed with a professional repair, which we determine during our free on-site inspection.

Does Capitol Improvements serve all Washington neighborhoods?

Yes, we serve all Washington, DC neighborhoods across all four quadrants. This includes Northwest communities like Georgetown, Chevy Chase, and American University Park, as well as Northeast areas like Brookland, Capitol Hill in Southeast, and Southwest neighborhoods near The Wharf.

Product: Mastic Ovation Solar Defense Siding
Type: Premium Vinyl
Siding Color: Deep Granite

This home in Washington DC had old wooden T1-11 siding and the owners wanted to install blue siding and to emphasize the enclosed back porch that has natural wood. They were concerned a deep color would fade over time. The solution we provided was to install Mastics Solar Defense siding. This siding is specifically engineered to prevent fading of darker richer colors. They do this by applying a coating over the siding that helps deflect that rays of the sun so the siding panel does not absorb all of the rays thus making the color stay for longer. The owners are very happy with the way this project turns out and it looks like a entirely new home. Many homeowners in Washington DC decide to replace their seamless gutters at the same time as the siding.

  2. Installation:
    • Siding must be properly anchored and secured to the building to prevent damage from wind or weather.
    • There are specific guidelines for weatherproofing, such as using a moisture barrier or house wrap.
  3. Energy Efficiency:
    • Siding should meet insulation requirements to enhance energy efficiency, with proper sealing and no air gaps.

Local Review in Washington DC

"We recently used Capitol Improvements for an older home in NE DC. This was a siding replacement that was long overdue and we also had the soffits replaced. We were very impressed by the hard work of the crew who would arrive at 7:30 and work until past 6 pm. They appeared very efficient and worked well together. I would recommend contacting and discussing various options with the company as they answered all our questions."
