Siding Replacement in Detroit: what to expect
Siding replacement in Detroit is often the biggest exterior project a homeowner takes on after the roof. Many houses in Detroit, Dearborn, Warren and Royal Oak still carry aluminum or early vinyl from decades ago, sometimes installed right over the original wood, and the wall behind it has never been checked. A full re-side is the chance to fix that.
A proper job tears the old siding down to the sheathing, repairs rot, adds a water-resistive barrier and flashing at every window and door, and then installs the new cladding with the right trim, corners and clearances. Popular choices here are vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement and engineered wood. Plan for the soffit, fascia and gutters at the same time, since they share the same edges.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
A full re-side may need a building permit depending on the municipality and scope, so confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit) and ask who pulls it. Homes in a local historic district may need design review before the material or look changes. On homes built before 1978, a firm paid to disturb more than 20 square feet of exterior paint must be EPA RRP certified, follow lead-safe work practices, and give you the EPA Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts. Gray, cement-like shingle siding on older homes can contain asbestos; have it tested and, if it is positive, compare asbestos siding removal contractors licensed through the MIOSHA Asbestos Program.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Siding, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes
- Get quotes for the same product line, color and trim package so they compare fairly.
- Ask how many layers they will remove and how rot repair is priced once walls are open.
- Ask how they flash windows and doors and which weather barrier they use.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Confirm who pulls the permit and whether the fee is in the quote.
- Compare the labor warranty and who registers the manufacturer warranty.
