T And J replaces Delafield siding with vinyl, fiber cement or engineered wood over new house wrap and flashing, never over old panels. The permit runs through the City’s inspection department or SAFEbuilt for the Town.

City and Town, One Wall
T And J All In Remodeling builds a Delafield re-side from the wall out: new cladding only holds up when the sheathing, house wrap and flashing behind it are sound, City or Town.
Scope
Repair to Full Re-Side
One wall, one elevation or the entire house: the sheathing tells you which, once the old siding comes off.
Under the Panels
Wrap and Flashing
The weather barrier laps shingle-style and ties into flashing at every window and door.
Permit
Confirmed Both Ways
The Town of Delafield lists siding as permitted work. T And J confirms the City’s rule before ordering.
City, Town, One Crew
T And J sizes a Delafield siding job by what is behind the cladding, not the cladding itself. Every wall gets stripped, checked, wrapped and flashed first, City or Town.

Full Re-Side
T And J strips every existing panel to the sheathing, replaces weak sections, and installs fresh wrap, flashing, trim and cladding around the house. Town parcels list siding as permitted work; a City address gets the same check.

Repair
T And J pulls storm-damaged or rotted sections first and fixes the wall behind them before new material goes up. Pieces are matched to profile and color, easiest on one wall of a Genesee Street or subdivision home.

Premium Cladding
T And J installs fiber cement and engineered wood, heavier boards that resist impact and hold a crisp look on Delafield’s 1980s subdivisions. Roof clearance and sealed cut ends get planned before the first piece goes up.

What It Costs
T And J prices Delafield siding by wall area, material, story count and how much trim and flashing move the job, City or Town. The real swing factor is the sheathing’s condition once the old siding comes off.

Siding Materials
Every material reacts differently to Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw swings, and on a shore lot near Nagawicka, wind load counts as much as looks.
No paint needed; hung loose to flex with temperature.
Foam-backed panels stiffen the wall while adding insulation.
Resists impact and fire, with a long repaint cycle.
Deep grain, wide boards, sealed at every cut end.
Natural wood siding, favored on pre-1900 downtown homes.
A barrier over the sheathing, lapped to shed water outward.
Metal and membrane at every window, door and roof tie-in.
Fresh air drawn into the attic at the eave.

Delafield Home Styles
T And J matches Delafield siding to what is already on the wall across several eras: a pre-1900 core near Genesee Street, lake cottages, post-I-94 ranches, and newer subdivisions spanning the City and the Town.

Near Genesee Street, where Hawks Inn opened in 1846, exposures run narrow and the original trim is worth copying rather than replaced with something wider.

Resort-era cottages from the 1870s rail years, many converted for year-round use. Wind off the lake puts extra load on the shore-facing wall.

Long, low ranches from the first commuter wave after I-94 reached town in 1963. Horizontal lap suits them.

These newer builds already mix materials, so replacement is set to match whatever stone or brick is there.

T And J flashes new openings on Nagawicka cottages so the closure work, not the boards, keeps that wall dry.
City Hall or SAFEbuilt
The Town of Delafield names roofing, siding and window replacement as permitted work, with inspection contracted to SAFEbuilt. A City of Delafield address is confirmed with the Department of Building Inspection at City Hall.
T And J looks up the parcel before quoting a Delafield siding job, since a mailing address alone does not settle which office applies, then books whichever inspector needs to sign off.

Lake Country Neighbors
T And J’s siding crews cover Lake Country west of the Brookfield shop, working towns and villages that share Delafield’s stretch of I-94 and its lakes.
Nashotah shares the Nagawicka shoreline and the same Delafield-Hartland sewer plant, while Hartland and Merton sit a few minutes further up the chain.
Chenequa and Okauchee sit toward the north end of the chain, with Oconomowoc and Wales continuing west on I-94.
Pewaukee and Brookfield sit east on I-94, the same road the crew drives in from Georges Avenue.
Visit or call
T And J All In Remodeling is based at 985 Georges Avenue in Brookfield, a quick run east of Delafield on I-94, with every visit at your house.

Delafield Siding Questions
Ask about your Delafield address at (262) 352-9525.
Yes, both permit siding, but through different offices: the Town lists it as permitted work through SAFEbuilt, while the City routes it through the Department of Building Inspection at City Hall. T And J confirms which applies.
Wind off Nagawicka Lake loads a shore-facing wall harder, so those elevations get extra care at flashing points and fastening. Material choice and the wall assembly matter more here than anywhere else on the house.
Sometimes, yes, but T And J prefers tearing off the old layer first. Rotted sheathing often hides under an older Delafield wall, and stripping it lets a weather barrier go on and the openings get flashed right.
It can. On a Town of Delafield parcel near a lake or stream, Waukesha County’s shoreland rule can add zoning review to the permit. A City address does not carry that step.
Close, usually, on one elevation of a Genesee Street original. Product lines shift and old siding fades, so an exact match isn’t always possible. T And J finds the nearest current option and shows it first.
A weather-resistive membrane covers the sheathing, tucked behind the cladding. On an older Genesee Street or ranch-era wall it usually replaces failed building paper, blocking water that slips past the siding while letting moisture escape.
The boards barely change the heating bill; what surrounds them does more. A sealed barrier, insulated panels and closed openings cut the drafts that matter most on Delafield’s older homes near downtown.
Timing turns on house size, stories, how much sheathing needs replacing, and which office, City or Town, signs off. T And J schedules the price and works one wall at a time.
