## Siding Replacement Project Overview

The most common options are vinyl siding, fiber cement, and engineered wood. Each behaves differently in a given climate, and the right answer usually comes down to how much maintenance you want to take on over the years you plan to stay.

Partial siding replacement can work where damage is confined to one elevation, though matching an existing color and profile is difficult on an older home. Many homeowners bundle siding replacement with window replacement, because the two meet at the same openings and doing them together avoids disturbing new work.

## What Richmond’s Climate Means for Your Siding Replacement

Many HOAs across this region require or favor fiber cement or brick exteriors. Where vinyl is allowed, fiber cement still adds more resale value and handles the region's humidity swings better.

## What Drives Richmond Siding Replacement Costs?

Installed cost in Richmond runs roughly **7% below** the national average for this trade. Here's how we got to that number.

Project costs include three main components: labor, materials, and overhead. Material ships at national prices no matter where you live, and overhead is fairly consistent as well. So the main pricing difference between metro areas is labor costs. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect.

To get Richmond labor costs, we compared the average hourly wage in the Richmond, VA area to the national average hourly wage for this trade. (source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025)

We found that the local trade wages sit about **18% below** the national figure. Labor costs typically make up about **36%** of a siding replacement project cost, so the weighted difference between Richmond and national averages is **−7%**.

## Siding Replacement Permitting in Richmond

Permit complexity Simple Moderate Complex Permit complexity in Richmond is rated moderate.

It depends on the scope of your project, so you should talk to the permitting authority to find out what your project needs. In general, Richmond permitting is moderately complex compared to other metros we cover.

Permitting for structural and plumbing work in this area goes through City of Richmond and surrounding counties.

You should ask each contractor if they pull the permits for you and if the fee for pulling permits is included in their quote. Also, tell them you need to see the written, approved permit before work starts.

Virginia requires a state license for siding replacement work.

## Siding Replacement Contractors in Richmond Ranked by Homeowners

Here are the siding replacement companies VA homeowners in and around Richmond turn to, ranked by real customer rating and review volume, no filler. [See our Editorial Standards.](/editorial-standards/index.md)

Home Genius Exteriors

★★★★★ 4.7 [Google · Glen Allen, VA location (495 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/x/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b16bcfb09c42dd:0xa49f0b894bc7f1f5) as of August 2026

Highest-rated multi-trade exterior contractor. Fiber cement, vinyl, and LP SmartSide from in-house crews.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status alongside James Hardie Elite Preferred and CertainTeed 5-Star contractor certifications, and covers roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and attic insulation. Reviewers name their project manager more often than almost anything else about the job, and describe them staying involved and checking in through to the finish. Siding and gutter work draws the warmest praise for how it looks once finished, and most installs wrap up in just a few days. Their free inspection is thorough and photo-led, with some homeowners noting drone footage of the roof itself. Promotional discounts are tiered by trade rather than applying across the board, so ask what your specific project qualifies for. If your roof is flat or low-slope, ask what warranty comes with it, since those systems are covered differently.

Homefix Custom Remodeling

★★★★★ 4.7 [Google · Henrico, VA location (922 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Homefix+Roofing+and+Window+Installation+of+Richmond/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x89b111181053ffff:0x7f59dce03106e416!8m2!3d37.6393197!4d-77.4735412!16s%2Fg%2F11ggc1w1yz!19sChIJ__9TEBgRsYkRFuQGMeDcWX8) as of August 2026

Alside Ascend Installer: premium Alside siding, in-house crews (never subcontracted). 100% Lifetime Guarantee.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Homefix Custom Remodeling has worked across Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina since 1990, covering roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and solar. It states plainly that it does not use subcontractors. Its own crews do the work, and reviewers across its different markets back that up by name, crediting installers and crews for turning a full roof or a house of windows around in a day or two. It is a GAF Certified Master Elite roofing contractor. Its warranty is branded UltraCare, and the word lifetime carries specific year caps by product rather than being open-ended, so ask what applies to your job. If your project involves a color-matched material like siding, ask to see and sign off on the exact sample before installation day, and ask upfront how a warranty service call gets scheduled.

Hansons

★★★★★ 4.4 Google · pooled across 8 US locations (9,248 reviews) as of August 2026

House-branded vinyl, insulated vinyl and composite siding lines. Great Lakes siding veteran with 25+ years.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Hansons covers windows, roofing, siding, gutters and baths across the Great Lakes, and reviewers consistently name the consultant who walked them through options, explained financing, and answered questions without rushing: a different name at nearly every branch, which is its own kind of evidence. Install day draws the same praise. Crews finish a house of windows or a full bath in a day, and homeowners describe careful cleanup and real admiration for the finished work, down to the caulk lines. The Smart Choice warranty runs in tiers: the Lifetime Guarantee applies to the Premium and Smart Choice product solutions for roofing, siding, windows and gutters, so ask which tier your quote is written against. Baths carry a separate No-Leak Guarantee. Warranty service scheduling is the one thing worth asking about up front, since that is where a few homeowners describe the longest wait for a callback.
