What a New Berlin Siding Replacement Covers
New siding is only the outer layer. What decides whether it keeps a New Berlin wall dry through a Wisconsin winter is the sheathing underneath, the house wrap, and the flashing at every window, door and penetration.
Scope
Repair to full re-side
One damaged wall, a full elevation or the whole house, set by the condition of the sheathing behind it.
Behind the siding
Wrap and flashing
Weather-resistive barrier lapped shingle-style, with flashing at every window, door and roof-to-wall joint.
Permit
Checked for you
Rules differ by municipality. T And J confirms them for your address and files when one is required.
Our New Berlin scope
What Siding Work Does T And J Do in New Berlin?
From a single storm-damaged wall to a complete re-side, the scope is set by the wall behind the siding as much as the siding itself. Every wall is stripped, inspected, wrapped and flashed before new cladding goes on.
Full re-side
Full siding replacement
All existing siding comes off down to the sheathing, soft or delaminated panels are replaced, and new house wrap, flashing, trim and siding go on around the whole house. It is the only way to correct the weather barrier everywhere at once.
Scope
Whole house
Layers
Sheathing, wrap, flashing
Materials
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood
Repair
Siding repair and partial replacement
Storm-damaged, rotted or loose sections are removed and the wall behind them repaired. New pieces are matched to the existing profile and color as closely as current products allow, which is easiest on one elevation at a time.

Causes
Storm, impact, rot

Profile and color sourced
Premium cladding
Fiber cement and engineered wood siding
Heavier, impact-resistant boards and shakes with a crisp wood look. Both need set clearances above grade and roofs and sealed cut ends, so trim and flashing details are planned before the first board is hung.

Insulated vinyl siding
Vinyl panels with a foam backing that stiffens the wall and adds continuous insulation over the studs. Paired with a sealed weather barrier, it reduces drafts on older Wisconsin homes.

What it costs
How Much Does Siding Replacement Cost in New Berlin?
Siding cost in New Berlin follows wall area, material, the number of stories, how much trim there is and how many openings have to be flashed. What the sheathing looks like once the old siding is off can move it either way.

Home styles
Which New Berlin Homes Are We Re-siding?
New Berlin is a late-century suburb with 68.96 percent single-family detached housing. 48.3 percent of homes were built between 1970 and 1999 and 32.0 percent from 1940 to 1969, with 15.7 percent from 2000 onward and 4.0 percent from 1939 or earlier.
1970s and 1980s Colonials
48.3 percent of New Berlin, the largest band. Wide lap siding with shutters and a brick or stone base, re-clad in the same profile with the trim upgraded.
1950s and 1960s Ranches
32.0 percent of the stock. Long low elevations where horizontal lap reads best, with gable ends picked out in board and batten or shakes.
Split-Levels
Common in New Berlin subdivisions, where the siding has to resolve two wall heights on one elevation without looking accidental.
Post-2000 Builds
15.7 percent of homes. Mixed materials already, so the replacement matches the existing stone or brick and keeps the same proportions.
Siding at Patio Doors and Additions
Where a newer opening or addition meets old cladding, the flashing and closure detail is what keeps that wall dry.
New Berlin permits
Do You Need a Permit to Replace Siding in New Berlin?
It depends on what changes behind the siding. New Berlin requires a building permit where sheathing, structure or insulation is altered, and the Department of Community Development can confirm your address on 262-797-2445.
T And J checks the rules for your New Berlin address during the walkaround, files the permit when one is needed and books any inspection, so nothing stalls once the old siding is off.

Common questions
New Berlin Siding FAQ
Ask about your own house at (262) 352-9525.
How much does it cost to replace siding in Wisconsin?
Siding cost depends on wall area, material, the amount of trim and openings, the number of stories, and how much sheathing needs replacing. T And J measures every elevation and quotes one fixed price. The vinyl siding cost guide gives current Waukesha County ranges.
Which siding lasts best in Wisconsin winters?
Fiber cement and engineered wood resist impact and hold paint well through freeze-thaw cycles. Vinyl handles moisture well and never needs paint but can crack from impact in deep cold. The right choice depends on budget, upkeep tolerance and the look of the house.
Can new siding go over old siding?
It is sometimes allowed, but T And J recommends removing it. Stripping the old layer is the only way to see and fix rotted sheathing, add a proper weather barrier and flash windows and doors correctly.
Do I need a permit to replace siding?
It depends on the municipality. Some Wisconsin communities require a permit for re-siding and others do not. T And J checks the rules for your address and files the permit when one is needed.
Can you match my existing siding for a repair?
Often closely, especially on one elevation. Profiles and colors change over the years, and older siding fades, so a perfect match is not always possible. T And J sources the nearest current product and shows it before installation.
What is house wrap and why does it matter?
House wrap is a weather-resistive barrier installed over the sheathing and behind the siding. It stops water that gets past the siding from reaching the wall, while letting the wall dry. It must be lapped and taped correctly to work.
Will new siding lower my heating bills?
Siding alone does little, but the work around it can help. Insulated siding, a continuous weather barrier and sealed openings reduce air leakage, which is where most of the difference comes from.
How long does a siding replacement take?
It depends on the size of the house, the number of stories and how much sheathing needs repair. T And J gives a written schedule with the price and works one elevation at a time so the house stays closed each night.
