Pro Superior Construction installs, replaces, and repairs siding on Palo Alto homes, and we handle windows installation and replacement at the same time. We are a James Hardie Certified installer, fully licensed and insured under CSLB #986607, and family-owned since 2013. If you want siding contractors who treat your home’s wall system and its architectural character with equal care, we are the siding contractors to call in Palo Alto CA, which we serve as part of our Greater SF Bay Area service area.
In California, any contractor performing work over $500 must be licensed by the CSLB, and new siding is one of the clearest ways to raise both property value and curb appeal. Start with a free, no-obligation estimate, and a contractor will inspect your home and assess exactly what it needs.
Our Siding and Window Services for Palo Alto Homeowners
We install, replace, and repair siding across Palo Alto’s older housing stock and its mix of historic, mid-century, and remodeled homes. Good siding installation protects the property from rain, fog, and wind while giving the exterior a fresh, finished look. Your choices include fiber cement, natural wood, engineered wood, and vinyl, and we help you match the right material to your home.

Fiber Cement Siding (James Hardie)
Fiber cement siding is our flagship offering, and as a James Hardie Certified installer we install it to the manufacturer’s highest standards. Fiber cement resists moisture and rot from the fog and winter rain Palo Alto sees, which makes it well-suited to Peninsula conditions. Siding contractors in the Palo Alto area commonly work in materials like LP SmartSide and other engineered and cement-based products, and we match the siding profile to the style of your home with precise trim and clean lines.
Wood, Cedar Siding, and Vinyl Options
Wood, engineered wood, and vinyl each suit different Palo Alto homes, and we walk you through the trade-offs honestly. Cedar siding and other natural wood deliver warm, traditional looks, but cedar siding can rot in the damp conditions common here and needs routine maintenance to resist moisture and pests. LP SmartSide engineered wood holds a natural wood appearance with more resistance to those conditions. Vinyl is a lower-maintenance option with good value, and some owners weigh lightweight materials like aluminum or products from lines such as CertainTeed as well. We help you select the right family of premium materials and pair durable protection with the curb appeal you want, including the colors and designs that fit your street.
Fire-Resistant / WUI-Compliant Siding
For properties in Palo Alto’s wildland-urban interface, we install ignition-resistant exterior-wall assemblies that meet local WUI requirements. Palo Alto’s published WUI definition includes all areas west of Interstate 280 plus other areas designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. In those areas, the City requires qualifying noncombustible, ignition-resistant, tested, or otherwise approved exterior-wall assemblies. We build to that standard while keeping the look of your home intact, because protection and style do not have to compete.
Siding Replacement, Repair, Windows, and Doors
We replace full siding, repair damaged sections, and install windows while the wall is open. Siding repair needs at least one full wall to qualify for warranty coverage, and when the siding comes off, it is the natural moment to replace windows and update entry doors. We install Milgard, Andersen, Anlin, Pella, Marvin, Alside, Amsco, Lindsay, and Plygem windows. High-performance insulated siding can reduce energy bills, and certified installation helps your home’s envelope perform the way the materials were designed to, with better protection and a cleaner finished exterior. On select projects we also coordinate decks and gutters so the whole exterior works together.
Why Palo Alto Homeowners Choose Pro Superior Construction
Homeowners choose us because we show our qualifications before we talk benefits. We are fully licensed and insured under CSLB #986607, James Hardie Certified, BBB A+ accredited, founded in 2013, and backed by 10+ years of expertise. As certified siding contractors we ensure compliance with local building codes, carry extended workmanship coverage, and verify insurance so you are protected from liability during the project. That A+ rating reflects how we run the business every day, and our team respects your time and your home on every visit.
We have helped hundreds of customers, and our multifamily commercial experience is proof our standards hold up on large, complex jobs, not an invitation for commercial work. That capacity carries into every home we touch. Where many contractors install only the visible cladding, we treat the full wall system the way Palo Alto’s inspection sequence does: damaged wood, the water-resistive barrier, flashing, and nailing at the in-progress stage, then final waterproofing. Installation details matter as much as the siding material itself, and most product and workmanship warranties cover exactly those defects. We are family-owned and relationship-first, so your project is never just a number.
See the proof for yourself and request a free, no-obligation estimate. A contractor will inspect your home and tell you what it actually needs. Our reviews and ratings across platforms like Houzz reflect the same standard we bring to every Palo Alto job.
Built for Palo Alto’s Older Homes
Palo Alto’s housing is old enough to hide surprises, which is exactly why our inspection matters. The median construction year is 1955, about 26.4% of homes were built from 1950 through 1959, and roughly 47% were built before 1959. Behind that much older siding we often find dry rot, water damage, and outdated or missing water-resistive layers. Structural inspection of older homes catches those conditions before they spread, and proper waterproofing and moisture management keep them from coming back. When we replace siding, our work is backed by a 10-year labor warranty, so if something goes wrong with our installation, we come back and fix it.
How Our Palo Alto Siding Process Works
Our process is built around getting it right, not rushing it out the door. California home improvement projects call for a written contract, and we work from one so the project scope and pricing are clear before anyone picks up a tool. We encourage you to compare detailed bids and quotes from multiple siding contractors, because the real differences are in what each one includes.
- Free inspection and quote. We measure the wall area, check for concealed damage, and confirm WUI and historic status.
- Written proposal and contract. Scope, materials, and pricing in writing, with allowances for hidden repairs explained up front.
- Permit handling. When a permit is required, we submit applications and plans digitally through Palo Alto’s Accela Online Permitting Services system.
- Installation and in-progress inspection. We replace rotted wood, install the water-resistive barrier and flashing, and leave nailing visible for the City’s in-progress inspection before covering the wall.
- Final waterproofing and inspection. We complete joint, penetration, and panel-transition waterproofing, then pass the final inspection. Every step moves toward a finished exterior you are proud of.

Serving Palo Alto: Neighborhoods, Climate, and Permits We Know
Palo Alto is not one siding environment, and we treat each part of it differently. We serve the city as part of our Greater SF Bay Area service area, and we know its neighborhoods, its wet season, and the building office that signs off on the work.
Palo Alto Neighbors and Architectural Character
Each Palo Alto neighborhood asks for a different approach to siding. Professorville, the historic district tied to early Stanford faculty housing, carries prominent Shingle, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman architecture that demands matched exposures, trim dimensions, and window surrounds. Green Gables, dating to 1950 to 1951, and Greenmeadow Nos. 1 and 2, from 1954 to 1955, are recognized historic Eichler districts where low mid-century proportions must be preserved. Barron Park, with its wooded lots and ranch-style homes, and Downtown North, bounded by San Francisquito Creek, University Avenue, Alma Street, and Middlefield Road, mix older homes with later alterations. College Terrace, a 12-block neighborhood surrounded on three sides by Stanford land, is eclectic block to block. Southgate, bordered by Alma Street, El Camino Real, Churchill Avenue, and Park Boulevard, brings narrow streets, modest lots, and varied ranch, cottage, Mediterranean, and New England-inspired homes that change how we stage a job. Across all of them we preserve proportions and match trim and profiles.
Climate, Moisture, and the Palo Alto Permit Office
Palo Alto’s Mediterranean climate and its east-west split shape every siding decision we make. NOAA’s Palo Alto station records normal July highs near 79.4°F and January highs near 57.8°F, with most rain arriving in the November through March wet season. Eastern Palo Alto includes flood-prone areas extending east from Middlefield, Ross, and Louis roads toward San Francisco Bay, with San Francisquito Creek as the primary flooding source. Western hillsides west of Interstate 280 are WUI terrain. Those are different siding environments, and we match material and flashing to each.
Permits run through the City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department, Development Services–Building Division at 285 Hamilton Avenue, submitted digitally through Accela. The City has a dedicated Exterior Wall Coverings and Siding inspection guideline and specific architectural, zoning, and green-building codes, and it adopted the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments effective January 1, 2026. There is no flat siding permit fee; the City’s FY2027 Adopted Municipal Fee Schedule prices permits by category, size, and valuation, so we confirm it per project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of a siding job in Palo Alto CA?
Cost depends on home size, wall area, and material, so we give a free, no-obligation quote rather than a flat figure. Published siding replacement figures often fall somewhere between roughly $16,000 and $30,000, but home size and material type move that number a lot. We encourage you to compare detailed bids, and financing options plus occasional manufacturer rebates may help manage the total while keeping the value high.
