Pro Superior Construction installs, replaces, and repairs siding on houses, rentals, and multi-family buildings throughout Richmond, California. We’re fully licensed and insured under CSLB License #986607 and a James Hardie Certified Installation Company, a credential the manufacturer grants only to installers who meet its highest standards. Family owned since 2013, we’ve spent 10+ years on siding and window work across the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, and we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners protect their exteriors and improve how they look.
Roughly 70% of Richmond’s reported housing units were built before 1980, which is why we never quote siding over the phone. A professional contractor inspects your home first and assesses exactly what it needs.

Our Siding Services for Richmond Homes and Properties
Every proposal we write covers the complete wall system, not just the boards you can see: tear-off and disposal, the weather-resistive barrier, flashing at windows, doors, vents and utility penetrations, trim, manufacturer-approved fasteners, and the finish. Those hidden layers are essential to how a wall sheds water. When one bid lands well under another, the difference is almost always in those line items, and that’s what separates a real residential siding scope from a thin one.
James Hardie and Fiber Cement Siding Installation
Fiber cement is our flagship recommendation for Richmond exteriors, and our James Hardie Certified status means James Hardie itself has verified how our team handles clearances, fastening, and flashing. Installing it over older Richmond framing is rarely tidy, but the result is a durable, low-maintenance exterior with a long service life, and factory-painted finishes hold their color in a way homeowners notice years later. Explore our full siding installation services.
Full Siding Replacement and Partial Elevation Work
Some Richmond homes need every elevation replaced. Others need one weather-beaten wall. Once the old siding comes off, we photograph what’s behind it: sheathing condition, the existing barrier, prior patches, and any dry rot. Concealed damage is documented and authorized in writing before it gets fixed, so nothing shows up on your invoice as a surprise. If a general contractor is coordinating a larger exterior remodel, we sequence our work into that schedule instead of forcing yours around ours.
Siding Repair and Board Matching
Targeted repair means new boards matched to the existing profile, exposure, trim, and finish so the patch doesn’t announce itself. Color and texture get matched at the same time. Some of what we repair is work a previous contractor left short, and we’ll show you plainly what we find. This matters for rental owners in particular: Richmond’s rental inspection materials identify broken, rotted, split, or buckled wall coverings and ineffective exterior waterproofing as deficient conditions.
Fire-Resistant Siding for Richmond’s Hillside Neighborhoods
If your property sits in the Richmond hills, ignition-resistant siding is worth a serious conversation. The city’s hazard planning identifies El Sobrante Hills, Greenbriar, and Carriage Hills as hillside areas particularly affected by wildfire risk, and Richmond has reported more than 1,661 Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone inspections under an adopted Community Wildfire Protection Plan. We install fire-resistant siding built to Wildland-Urban Interface standards. No siding is fireproof, and we won’t tell you otherwise, but ignition-resistant materials protect your home without compromising on style.
Vinyl, Wood, Board-and-Batten Siding, LP SmartSide, and Mobile Home Siding
We also install vinyl siding, wood siding, board-and-batten profiles, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and mobile home siding. If you’re not sure which belongs on your house, that’s normal. Our estimator walks the walls with you and explains the benefits of each of those siding materials for durability, maintenance, and curb appeal, and that knowledge is yours to use before you commit. Fiber cement tends to earn its keep on the exposed western walls that take Richmond’s weather head-on.
Window Replacement Alongside Your Siding Project
Plenty of Richmond houses still carry original single-pane aluminum-framed windows, usually the coldest, leakiest part of the wall. Tear-off is the right moment to replace them, because the openings are already exposed and can be flashed into the new barrier instead of worked around. We cover interior surfaces and keep the work space clear while openings are open. We install Milgard, Andersen, Anlin, Alside, Amsco, Lindsay, and Plygem windows.
We’re sometimes asked about interior work too, a master bathroom or new floors. Projects like that come up occasionally, but siding and windows are what we do every day.
Why Richmond Homeowners Choose Our San Francisco Bay Area Siding Contractors
We lead with proof, because that’s what you’re actually shopping for. Pro Superior Construction holds CSLB License #986607, carries insurance, and is a James Hardie Certified Installation Company. We’ve been BBB accredited since 2019 with an A+ grade, we’re family owned, we were founded in 2013, and BuildZoom places us in the top 2% of California licensed contractors. Richmond requires anyone conducting business in the city to hold a City of Richmond business license, and we operate accordingly.
On price: we don’t publish guess-quotes, because a number generated without seeing your walls is worth nothing to you. The inspection-led estimate tells you what the work actually involves, and financing options are available.
On timeline: we prioritize honest, quality work over quick turnarounds. You’ll get a project-specific schedule, not a slogan.
On trust: the job isn’t done until the customer is satisfied, on a single repair and on a full multi-family envelope alike. Certification proves accountability to the manufacturer; professionalism shows up in smaller things, like a crew that cleans up daily and answers your questions on site. We hope our values and integrity set us apart from companies you’ve worked with before.

How Your Richmond Siding Project Works, From Estimate to Final Walkthrough
Four steps, and the process is the same whether you’re replacing one elevation or every wall. Knowing it up front is most of what makes a project smooth.
- 1. Free estimate and inspection. A contractor inspects your home and assesses exactly what it needs. Request yours through our free estimate form.
- 2. Written scope and permit path. You get the full wall-system scope in writing. Once you’ve decided on a material, we confirm availability and identify the permit path. Richmond’s single-family residential checklist requires exterior elevations to identify siding, trim, openings, finishes, materials, and colors, so we prepare for that where it applies.
- 3. Removal and installation. Old siding comes off, we inspect the exposed sheathing and barrier with you, and flashing and other metal work at openings gets integrated with the new barrier as we go. Open walls stay protected until the new system is on.
- 4. Closeout. Once the last elevation is completed, we submit through Richmond’s iMS permit portal where a permit applies and schedule inspections. Then cleanup, final walkthrough, and warranty documents. The finish line isn’t the last board; it’s you looking at the house and calling it a fantastic job.
What Makes Richmond Different From Other San Francisco Bay Area Exteriors
Older Walls: What We Expect to Find Behind the Siding
Richmond has a wonderful stock of older homes, including 4,547 reported units built before 1940 and another 13,661 from 1940 to 1959. On walls that age, we expect thin weather-resistive barriers, window flashing that was never integrated, soft lower wall sections, and layers of earlier patch repairs. None of that is a crisis. It’s work that belongs in the scope before you sign, not in a change order after.
Historic Point Richmond, Atchison Village, and Design Review
In Richmond’s historic areas, detail matters as much as material: profile, exposure, trim proportion, and the way siding meets stone or a porch roof. The city’s Historic Register lists Point Richmond Historic District contributors on Cottage, Crest, Delfino, and East Richmond Avenues, and Atchison Village’s roughly 450 homes, built in 1941 for wartime industrial workers, sit within the Rosie the Riveter National Historic District. Changing a material or a profile here can trigger additional review, so we confirm before specifying anything.
Shoreline Exposure, Hillside Risk, and Current Richmond Code
Each half of Richmond asks something different of a wall. Along Marina Bay and the Bay Trail, where the city is preparing a Sea Level Rise Adaptation and Resiliency Plan, our attention goes to water management: barrier laps, flashed openings, compatible fasteners, and the transitions near grade. Salt air is unforgiving, and aluminum paired with the wrong fasteners corrodes faster than most homeowners expect. In the hills, we check the address against current Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping and talk through ignition-resistant assemblies. Richmond adopted the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments in March 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace siding in Richmond?
