What Siding Replacement Covers in Greendale
Greendale’s 572 Original units went up in concrete block finished with cement paint, not wood siding, so T And J’s re-siding work belongs mostly to the wood-frame houses built through the 1960s and 1970s.
Wall type
Concrete block or wood frame
An Original’s block walls rarely take new siding. Houses framed after the Village’s first build re-side the ordinary way.
Where it applies
Postwar homes and additions
Postwar houses re-side fully; an Original’s siding is limited to a garage or addition.
Permit
Required, every time
Greendale names siding on its permit list, and a designated Original also needs Historic Preservation Commission sign-off first.
Our Greendale scope
Greendale Siding Work on Frame and Block Walls
T And J strips a postwar Greendale house to bare sheathing, checks it, wraps and flashes it like any Wisconsin frame home, and gives an Original’s block wall that same care only at a later addition.
Full re-side
Full siding replacement
On a postwar Greendale house, T And J strips everything down to bare sheathing, replaces weak spots, then runs continuous wrap and flashing before new siding and trim close up the wall.
Scope
Postwar houses
Layers
Sheathing, wrap, flashing
Materials
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood
Repair
Siding repair and partial replacement
Wind, hail or age take out a section at a time, and T And J pulls each one back to solid sheathing before repair, sourcing pieces matched closest in profile and color on a single postwar elevation.
Scope
One wall or section
Causes
Storm, impact, rot
Match
Profile and color sourced
Premium cladding
Fiber cement and engineered wood siding
T And J installs heavier board and shake profiles for a wood look on Greendale’s postwar colonials and frame additions built onto an Original, setting clearance from grade and roofline and sealing every cut end.
Materials
Fiber cement, engineered wood
Finish
Factory or field painted

Insulated vinyl siding
T And J’s foam-backed panels stiffen the wall and add insulation over the studs of a postwar frame house, cutting drafts with a sealed wrap on the Village’s 1960s ranches and splits.

Siding materials
Siding Materials for Greendale's Frame Homes
Each material takes Wisconsin freeze-thaw and wind differently, but on an Original the block wall underneath matters more, since it wasn’t built to carry siding.
Vinyl Siding
Never painted; hung loose to move with temperature.
Insulated Vinyl
Foam-backed for a stiffer, better-insulated wall.
Fiber Cement
Resists fire and impact, repainted on a long cycle.
Engineered Wood
Wide boards and deep grain, cut ends sealed.
Cedar
Real wood grain for garden-facing additions.
House Wrap
Barrier lapped over sheathing to drain out.
Flashing and Kickouts
Metal and membrane at every opening and joint.
Vented Soffit
Intake air for the attic at the roof edge.

Home types
Which Greendale Homes Need New Siding?
Greendale grew in two waves. Its 572 Original units are concrete block from 1936 to 1938, and wood-frame houses followed through the 1960s and 1970s along Elbert Peets’ plan. The wave a house belongs to decides whether siding applies.
1936 to 1938 Originals
Concrete block finished in cement paint, plastered inside, set on narrow lanes in clustered blocks. Siding here means a later addition, garage or porch, not the house.
1960s and 1970s Colonials and Splits
Wood-frame houses from the Village’s main growth years take a full re-side or a repair from T And J, like any Wisconsin frame house.
Later Subdivisions
Newer, already open-plan homes built after the master plan era, where work means matching current profiles and colors.
Condominiums
Compact plans with shared services, where association rules on work hours are read before a schedule is set.
Siding at Additions on an Original
Where a frame addition meets the original block, flashing and closure detail keep that seam dry through winter.
Greendale permits
Greendale Siding Permit and Historic Review Rules
Greendale’s Inspection Services names siding directly on its permit list, alongside roofing, decks and any change to a door or window opening, and T And J confirms that list before work starts. Village ordinance doubles the fee for work started early.
On a home the Village has designated historic, exterior siding changes need a certificate of appropriateness, decided within 45 days by the Historic Preservation Commission. Ordinary repairs that leave the look unchanged are exempt.

Siding FAQ
Greendale Siding Replacement Questions
Ask about your own house at (262) 352-9525.
How much does siding replacement cost in Greendale?
Cost depends on wall area, material, trim, openings and stories. On an Original, the scope is usually a garage or addition rather than the house, which changes the total. T And J measures every wall and quotes one fixed price.
Can a concrete block Original take new siding?
Not on the original walls. Greendale’s 1936 to 1938 Originals are concrete block finished in cement paint, masonry that doesn’t take siding the way a frame wall does. Siding applies to later additions, garages and porch enclosures, and to any postwar house.
Can new siding go over the old layer?
It is sometimes allowed, but T And J recommends stripping a postwar Greendale wall instead. Removing the old layer is the only way to see and fix rotted sheathing, add a proper wrap and flash openings.
Does Greendale require a siding permit?
Yes. The Village lists siding directly among work needing a permit, alongside roofing and decks, and charges double fees for starting early. T And J confirms the requirement and files with Inspection Services.
Does the Historic Preservation Commission review siding work?
Only where the Historic Preservation Commission has designated the house. A certificate of appropriateness is then required before the exterior changes, decided within 45 days, though ordinary repairs that leave the look identical are exempt.
Will a repair match my existing siding?
Often closely, especially on one elevation of a postwar house. Profiles and colors change over the years, and older siding fades, so a perfect match isn’t always possible.
What does house wrap actually do on my wall?
It is a weather-resistive barrier installed over the sheathing and behind the siding on a Greendale frame wall, stopping water that gets past the cladding while still letting the wall dry.
How long does a Greendale siding job take?
It depends on house size, story count and how much sheathing needs repair. On an Original, the scope is usually smaller, covering an addition rather than the house. T And J writes the schedule with the price.
