Siding Replacement in Dallas, GA
Dallas is the Paulding County seat, about twenty minutes from the shop, and its housing splits in two: an old core around the courthouse square and a wall of post-2000 subdivisions from the years Paulding was one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. That newer stock is the bulk of the work now, and it is the same builder-grade construction the crew already paints in Hiram and Powder Springs — just reaching its first repaint and first remodel a few years behind them.

Siding Replacement for Dallas homes
Three layers. Around the courthouse square sit genuinely old wood-frame houses from the late 1800s through the 1920s — weatherboard siding, wood sash and deep trim that need carpentry and real prep, often over lead-era coatings, before any topcoat. Scattered between are 1960s-through-80s brick ranches and split-levels on larger lots. The bulk, though, is post-2000 neo-traditional subdivisions, and because the county grew so fast they are aging as one wave: builder-grade hardboard and Masonite lap siding, some early fiber-cement among it, is reaching the age where Georgia humidity ends it, the pressure-treated pine decks are spent, and the first kitchens and baths are due their remodel.

What the job actually involves
Siding is a weather barrier, and what sits behind it matters as much as what you see. Replacement is the chance to find and fix hidden water damage, flash windows properly, and put the wall back together right.
We use a lapped weather barrier, metal and tape flashing at openings, and corrosion-resistant fasteners, because siding itself only works as part of that water-shedding system behind it.
How we run a siding replacement job in Dallas
- 1
Inspect and choose material
We check the existing siding, sheathing and trim for rot, moisture and insect damage, and talk through options: vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood and others. Each has different costs, upkeep and installation needs.
- 2
Remove old siding and check the wall
Old siding comes off and we look at the sheathing underneath. Rotted sheathing and framing are replaced. This is where hidden water damage turns up, often around windows and below roof lines.
- 3
Install weather barrier and flashing
House wrap or building paper goes on, lapped so water sheds outward. Windows, doors and penetrations are flashed with tape and metal, which is the detail that keeps water out for the long run.
- 4
Hang siding
Siding goes up from the bottom, level, with the manufacturer's nailing and gap requirements followed. Vinyl needs room to expand in Georgia summer heat, so it is not nailed tight. Fiber cement is cut with proper dust control.
- 5
Trim, corners and sealing
Corner boards, window and door trim, and soffit and fascia details are installed and caulked with the right sealant. Fiber cement and wood are primed and painted.
- 6
Cleanup and walkthrough
Old siding, nails and scraps are hauled off, and we run a magnet over the yard for nails. We walk the house with you before closing out.
What moves the price
We will not quote Dallas blind over the phone — these are the things we look at on site that decide the number.
- House size and number of stories, including gables.
- Siding material and trim package.
- Sheathing or framing repairs discovered after removal.
- Number of windows, doors and architectural details to flash and trim around.
- Whether soffit, fascia, gutters or insulation are included.
- Painting, if the material is not factory-finished.

Siding Replacement in Dallas — questions we get asked
- How long does siding replacement take?
- A typical house takes about one to three weeks of work, depending on size, material and weather. Rot repair or complex trim can extend it.
- Will I be able to stay in the house?
- Yes. It is noisy outside, and we keep walls closed up each day so the house is weathertight at night.
- Which siding holds up best in Georgia?
- Fiber cement and quality vinyl both do well. Humidity, sun and termites matter in the choice. We explain the tradeoffs and what upkeep each needs.
- Do I need a permit?
- In some jurisdictions yes. We tell you what applies to your address.
- Can you just fix damaged sections?
- Sometimes. If the damage is limited and a match is available, a repair can make sense. If the siding is aging across the house, replacement is often the better call.
Planning siding replacement? Start here
- Choosing doors that work, not just doors that trend Most door trends solve a real problem in one room and create a new one in another; pick for privacy, sound, space and weather first.
- Exterior remodeling: when to repaint and when to replace Upgrading an exterior is a choice between coating what is sound and replacing what is failing — and getting that call right is what separates an upgrade that lasts from one that only hides the problem.
- Does a new front door really change how your home looks? A front door changes how the whole house reads from the street, but a sound door that just looks tired often needs refinishing, not replacing.
