Central Virginia gets hot summers and moderate winters. The mountains see heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles. In Franktown, things like your elevation, the trees around your house, and how close you are to water also matter. A local contractor who works in Franktown a lot will know which side of your house takes the worst beating. The most common problem we see in the Franktown area is moisture getting behind panels due to improper original installation or deteriorating caulking. Early inspection prevents small problems from becoming expensive full replacements.

If damage is limited to a few panels and the rest is solid, repair is usually right and can extend life by 5 to 10 years. If problems show up on multiple walls, the siding is over 20 years old, or you have repaired the same areas more than once, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment.

Yes — full re-side projects in most Franktown jurisdictions require a building permit. Repair-only work on a small wall section may not. A licensed contractor will know exactly what your zip's local code requires and pull the permits on your behalf.
