What a Chenequa Re-Side Covers
New boards are the last step. What keeps a Chenequa wall dry through winter is the sheathing behind them, the wrap, and flashing at every window, door and lake-side roof edge.
Scope
Repair to full re-side
One storm wall, one lake-facing elevation or the whole house, set by what the old siding is hiding.
Behind the siding
Wrap and flashing
Weather-resistive wrap lapped shingle-style, flashed at every window, door and lake-side roof joint.
Permit
Confirmed for you
Chenequa’s own code decides this. T And J checks whether your re-side needs a village permit before pricing it.

Insulated vinyl siding
T And J’s foam-backed panel stiffens the wall and runs insulation unbroken across the studs. On postwar cottages ringing these lakes, a sealed barrier underneath is what stops the draft.

Siding materials
Which Siding Suits a Chenequa Lake House?
Every material handles Wisconsin freeze-thaw swings and lake wind differently, and the layers hidden behind it matter as much as the look.
Vinyl Siding
Never needs paint; hung loose to move with temperature.
Insulated Vinyl
Foam-backed panels that stiffen and insulate the wall.
Fiber Cement
Resists impact and fire, repainted on a long cycle.
Engineered Wood
Wide boards carry a deep grain, cut ends sealed.
Cedar
Natural wood siding for older lake houses.
House Wrap
Weather-resistive barrier lapped so it drains outward.
Flashing and Kickouts
Metal and membrane detail at every opening and roofline.
Vented Soffit
Intake air for the attic at the roof edge.

Which Chenequa Lake Houses Get Re-Sided?
T And J matches new siding to the house already standing, and Chenequa has four eras of it: 34 percent from 1970 to 1999, 28 percent from 1940 to 1969, 19 percent since 2000 and 19 percent before 1940.
1970s to 1990s Wooded-Lot Houses
Chenequa’s largest group, set on lots carved from the woods. T And J puts wide lap boards back up in a matching profile, trim upgraded.
Postwar Lake Cottages and Ranches
Low, long elevations from the postwar years: T And J runs horizontal lap on the roofline and shake or board and batten on gable ends.
Post-2000 Rebuilds
These already mix materials, so T And J’s re-side sits against whatever stone or brick is there.
Pre-1940 Lake Estates
About 19 percent predate 1940, many former summer houses where T And J matches narrow, period exposures.
Siding at New Openings
Wherever a newer opening joins older cladding, T And J’s closure work, not the boards, decides whether the seam stays dry.
Chenequa permits
Chenequa Village Permit for Siding Replacement
Chenequa’s permit list names roofs, decks, fences, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and windows, not siding. Its code requires a permit once work is estimated at $2,000, covering nearly any full re-side. A straightforward re-clad counts as minor exterior work, which the Building Inspector can clear without Plan Commission review.
T And J confirms which path your re-side falls under, files the village permit once the job crosses that line, and books inspection with Lake Country Inspections, appointment-only by phone.

Siding FAQ
Chenequa Siding FAQ
Ask about your lake house at (262) 352-9525.
How much does re-siding a Chenequa lake house cost?
The baseline is wall area, material, story count, trim and how many openings need flashing. A Chenequa lot adds staging around shore cover and tree rules, plus the village permit. One written figure covers all of it after John’s walkaround.
Which siding holds up on a lake lot?
Facing wind off open water, fiber cement and engineered wood resist impact and keep paint through freeze-thaw swings. Vinyl sheds moisture without needing paint, though a hard freeze can crack it. Budget, upkeep tolerance and the house’s look settle it.
Can new siding go over the old layer?
T And J will in some cases, but pulling the old layer off first is the better call: the only way to catch rotted sheathing, add a weather barrier, and flash windows and doors correctly.
Do I need a village permit to re-side?
Often, once the job crosses the village’s $2,000 threshold, though Chenequa’s permit list names roofs, decks and fences rather than siding. A straightforward re-clad usually skips Plan Commission review. T And J checks which applies first.
Can you match siding on an older lake house?
A close match is realistic on one elevation, though profiles and shades shift over decades. An exact match gets harder on pre-1940 estates, so T And J brings the nearest option and shows it first.
What does house wrap do on a lake wall?
A weather-resistive layer over the sheathing keeps water out while letting the wall breathe. On a wall facing open water that matters even more, and it only works if the laps and seams are done right, with lead-safe handling on older walls.
Will new siding cut heating bills here?
The boards barely change a heating bill, but what goes in around them does. Insulated panels, an unbroken weather barrier and sealed openings cut the air leakage that drives drafts in an older lake cottage.
How long does a Chenequa siding job take?
House size, story count and how much sheathing needs replacing set the schedule T And J writes alongside the price. The crew works one wall at a time, inside village outdoor hours.
