Elm Grove Siding Replacement and Board Review
A new elevation includes what is hidden: the sheathing, weather barrier and flashing that keep a Wisconsin wall dry. Elm Grove’s alterations guidance lists siding or exterior material changes among the work its Board reviews first.
Scope
Repair or a full re-side
The job is one wall, one elevation, or the whole house, decided by what the sheathing looks like underneath.
Behind the cladding
Wrap and flashing
A shingle-lapped weather barrier, with flashing worked into every window, door and roofline joint.
Permit
Board reviewed for you
Elm Grove issues no siding permit until the Building Board approves the change. T And J submits it.
Our Elm Grove scope
What T And J Handles on Elm Grove Exteriors
Whether it is one storm-damaged wall or a full tear-off, T And J sets the scope by what the old cladding reveals, then assembles what the village wants for any material change.
Full re-side
Full siding replacement
T And J strips a full tear-off to bare sheathing, exposing hidden rot before new work goes up, then rebuilds the barrier, flashing and cladding and takes the job to the Board since it touches every elevation.
Scope
Whole house
Layers
Sheathing, wrap, flashing
Materials
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood
Repair
Siding repair and partial replacement
T And J removes a cracked, rotted or loose section, checks the wall behind it, and matches the replacement to profile and color where stock allows. Elm Grove treats that like-for-like fix as exempt repair.
Scope
One wall or section
Causes
Storm, impact, rot
Match
Profile and color sourced
Premium cladding
Cement-board and engineered wood siding
T And J installs these boards and shakes, which resist impact well but need clearance above grade and sealed cut ends. Switching material changes an elevation, so T And J brings cut sheets.

Insulated vinyl siding

Siding materials
Which Siding Material Suits an Elm Grove Colonial?
Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycle treats each siding material differently, and what sits behind the cladding matters as much as the finish the Board reviews.
Vinyl Siding
Skips paint, floats on the wall as temperatures shift.
Insulated Vinyl
A foam layer behind the panel stiffens and warms the wall.
Fiber Cement
Stands up to impact and fire, repainted only occasionally.
Engineered Wood
Broad, deeply textured boards whose cut ends get sealed.
Cedar
Real wood siding for Elm Grove’s older homes.
House Wrap
Installed so any water that gets behind it drains back out.
Flashing and Kickouts
Metal and membrane pieces set at each opening and roofline joint.
Vented Soffit
Perforated panels that feed attic ventilation from the eaves.

Elm Grove House Types and Their Siding Needs
Siding choice depends on the house already there, and Elm Grove skews older than several neighbors. About 44 percent of village homes date to the 1950s and 1960s, 20 percent before 1950, and the rest from 1970 on.
1950s and 1960s Colonials
More than two in five village homes fall here, where T And J often finds one earlier re-side already over the original wood or asbestos-cement lap.
Mid-Century Ranches
These sit low and long, a shape horizontal lap suits well, and many gable ends carry board and batten or a shake panel.
1980s and Newer Homes
About a sixth of village homes fall here, mixing materials, so re-siding matches the existing stone or brick.
Prewar Homes
About a fifth of the stock was built before 1950, ahead of Elm Grove’s 1955 incorporation, with siding exposures worth matching, not flattening.
Patio Door and Addition Seams
A newer addition or patio door meeting older cladding creates a seam, and flashing there keeps a Wisconsin winter out.
Elm Grove's process
Elm Grove Siding Permit and Board Approval
It comes down to what the job changes. Elm Grove names siding and exterior material changes directly, so elevations go before the Building Board ahead of any permit, and the permit itself is filed through the village’s SAFEbuilt Community Core system.
T And J puts your Board package together, walks each elevation with you and picks up the code of conduct sign the village requires.

Where we work
Siding Service Area Around Elm Grove

Milwaukee County
Cross 124th Street east into Milwaukee County, where Wauwatosa, West Allis and Milwaukee each run their own permit office.
Pewaukee, Waukesha, New Berlin
Pewaukee and the City of Waukesha lie to the west, New Berlin to the south and Menomonee Falls to the north, each with its own permit office.

Siding FAQ
Elm Grove Siding Replacement FAQ
Elm Grove siding questions? Call (262) 352-9525.
Does Elm Grove's Building Board Review Siding Replacement?
Yes. Elm Grove’s alterations guidance lists siding and exterior material changes as Building Board work, alongside additions and decks, and no permit issues until that review is done.
What Is the Elm Grove Code of Conduct Sign?
Village code requires it before any exterior demolition, construction or modification permit is issued, bought from the Zoning Administrator at a fee the Village Board sets by resolution. T And J purchases it when your siding permit is filed.
Is a Small Siding Repair Exempt?
Usually. The village exempts repair causing no structural or exterior alteration from the permit requirement, and patching a few damaged pieces to match what’s there generally qualifies. Changing the elevation’s look does not.
How Are Elm Grove Siding Permits Filed and Inspected?
Permits are filed through SAFEbuilt’s Community Core, the online system the village uses for building permits. T And J files yours and schedules the required inspection once the permit issues.
How Far Ahead Must Board Submissions Go In?
For an alteration such as a re-side, the digital set and 14 copies on 11×17 sheets are due at least 14 days before a first or third Tuesday meeting. T And J builds that runway into your schedule from the start.
What Has to Be Submitted for a Re-Side?
The Board wants scaled elevations from every side, noting materials, lighting and colors used, cut sheets for the siding product, and physical samples carried into the meeting. T And J puts that package together and presents it.
What Should an Elm Grove Re-Side Budget Include?
The same drivers apply as anywhere: wall area, material, stories, and openings needing flashing. John measures every elevation on the walkaround, and the quote that follows is one fixed, written number.
How Long Does an Elm Grove Siding Project Take?
An exempt repair can wrap up in days. A full re-side runs on the Board’s calendar first, two weeks to prepare and submit, then the crew works one elevation at a time so the house stays closed overnight.
