Roof Cross-Section Diagram Image pending

A roof is not just shingles. It is a system. Deck, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, field shingles, ridge cap, and ventilation. Skip any layer and the whole thing fails early.

We install every layer to manufacturer spec. That is how you get a full warranty, not a partial one.

Siding Replacement in Howard County, MD: What You Need to Know

Weather and Storm Risk

Howard County gets severe thunderstorms from both the western mountain storms and the coastal systems moving up the Bay. The 2023 tornado in Columbia was a reminder that this area is not immune to extreme events. Hail damage is common in spring and summer.

Homes in Howard County

Howard County is anchored by Columbia, one of the largest planned communities in the US, with homes primarily from the 1970s-90s. Ellicott City has a mix of historic and newer construction. Newer developments in Clarksville and Fulton feature 2000s-era homes. Many original Columbia roofs have been replaced once and are approaching their second cycle.

53.2% of homes in this county were built before 1990.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2022 5-Year Estimates (api.census.gov).

Most homes in Howard County were built around 1985. At that age, original siding is often chalking, cracking, or failing at seams.

FEATHERFALL serves all neighborhoods in Howard County including Columbia, Ellicott City, Ilchester, Elkridge, Fulton, Highland, Ashton, Clarksville.

Siding Questions in Howard County, MD

Straight Answers in Plain English

Better answers than a Magic 8 Ball

“What is the total cost to replace siding on a 2000 sq ft house in Howard County?”

A full siding replacement on a 2,000 square foot home in Howard County typically costs between $14,000 and $32,000. That range covers tear-off, disposal, house wrap, and installation of new material. Vinyl falls on the low end, fiber cement in the middle, and steel or engineered wood at the top. The biggest cost swings come from how many stories your house has and how much rot the crew finds once the old siding comes off.

“Do homeowners need lead paint abatement to remove old wood siding in Howard County?”

If your home in Howard County was built before 1978, there is a good chance the old wood siding has lead paint on it. Federal law requires contractors to follow EPA lead-safe work practices during removal, which adds cost to the project. A lead test kit from the hardware store costs about $15 and gives you a quick answer. Skipping this step puts your family at risk and can result in heavy fines for the contractor.

“Is it cheaper in the long run to paint old siding or replace it entirely?”

Painting old wood siding costs $3,000 to $8,000 and lasts 5 to 7 years before it needs to be done again. Replacing it with vinyl or fiber cement costs more up front but lasts 30 to 50 years with almost no maintenance. If you plan to stay in your home longer than 10 years, replacement wins on total cost. If you are selling soon, a fresh coat of paint gives you the curb appeal boost at a lower price.

“Does a full siding replacement estimate include new fascia, soffits, and trim?”

Not always, and this is where a lot of homeowners get surprised. Some contractors quote siding only and list fascia, soffits, and trim as separate line items. Others bundle everything into one price. Always ask what is included before you sign. If your old trim is wood and the new siding is vinyl, the trim should be wrapped or replaced at the same time so you are not left with rotting wood behind brand new siding.

“Should a contractor tear off the old siding or install new material over it?”

Tear-off is almost always the better choice. Going over old siding hides rot, mold, and water damage that keeps spreading underneath. It also adds weight and can void the warranty on the new material. FEATHERFALL Restoration does a full tear-off on every replacement job so the crew can inspect the sheathing, replace any damaged wood, and install new house wrap before the new siding goes on.

“What are the hidden costs to watch for during a siding replacement?”

The biggest hidden cost is rotten sheathing or framing found after the old siding comes off. That repair is almost never included in the original estimate. Other surprises include permit fees, dumpster rental, lead paint abatement on pre-1978 homes, and replacing old house wrap. FEATHERFALL Restoration includes a detailed scope in every written estimate and explains up front how unexpected wood replacement is priced so there are no surprises on job day.

“How bad is the damage if a contractor finds dry rot behind the old siding?”

Dry rot means the wood sheathing or framing has been slowly decaying, usually from moisture that got trapped behind the siding. Small patches are common and easy to fix. If the rot covers large sections or has reached the wall studs, the repair gets expensive fast. This is exactly why tear-off matters. You cannot fix what you cannot see, and covering up rot with new siding just delays a much bigger problem.

“Are there Howard County utility rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient insulated siding?”

Some utility companies near Howard County offer rebates or tax credits for energy-efficient home upgrades, but siding-specific rebates are rare. The federal tax credit for energy-efficient building envelope improvements may apply if the insulated siding meets certain R-value requirements. Check with your local utility provider and the ENERGY STAR website for current programs. Your contractor should also know what incentives are available in Maryland.
