Siding Installation & Replacement
Our siding installation and replacement work covers full re-sides and substantial partial replacement on Novato homes. James Hardie fiber cement mimics natural wood while staying flame-resistant and low maintenance, and LP SmartSide engineered wood is a popular choice for warmth and workability. For a more modern look, Hardie board and batten siding adds vertical lines and depth that suit both classic and contemporary properties. Vinyl and aluminum come in a variety of panel types and finishes, in both vertical and horizontal designs, and many customers pair new siding with upgraded insulation to improve comfort. We’ll walk you through tear-off versus overlay, since removing old siding is the only way to inspect and correct what’s underneath.
Siding Repair (One Wall Minimum)
Repairs qualify when there’s at least one full wall of work, which also covers the warranty and keeps the job in scope rather than isolated patchwork. Softness, swelling, separation or recurring paint failure usually signals moisture behind the board, and we address the cause, not just the surface.
Fire-Resistant / WUI Siding
We install ignition-resistant siding built to meet Wildland-Urban Interface standards, never “fireproof,” because that distinction matters in Marin County. Fire-resistant siding is a recommended home improvement and home-hardening measure in wildfire-prone areas, and the City of Novato recommends fire-resistant siding and dual-pane windows for exactly that reason. The Novato Fire Protection District maintains static and interactive WUI maps, so we’ll help confirm whether your parcel sits in a designated area before recommending materials, protecting your property without compromising on style.
Window & Door Replacement
We replace windows with Milgard, Andersen, Anlin and other trusted brands, and all siding projects must comply with the California Residential Code for fire safety and energy efficiency. Dual-pane units improve energy efficiency and comfort. We also handle entry doors when they’re part of the exterior scope. When windows, doors and siding are all due, we treat them as one envelope project so flashing and trim integrate correctly.

How Our Novato Siding Installation Process Works
Our Novato siding process is built on clear scheduling and communication, not a speed promise.
- Free inspection and estimate. A contractor inspects your exterior and provides a written, itemized estimate covering labor, materials, warranties and exclusions.
- Permit handling. We coordinate the City permit. Like-for-like residential siding replacement or repair is eligible for Novato’s online express-permit process, which issues instantly after confirmation, and we file the required Waste Management Plan.
- Scheduled installation. We stage removal and protect open walls against weather, recycling or reusing at least 65% of covered waste as Novato requires. Once the new material is installed, we keep the site clean and confirm each step with you.
- Inspection. All construction must be inspected before it’s covered; the Novato Building Division strives for next-business-day inspections when workload allows.
- Final walkthrough. We review the finished siding and exterior finishes with you before we call it done, and you can feel confident the work meets code.
Siding in Novato: Neighborhoods, Climate & Local Codes
Novato’s permits come from the City of Novato Community Development Department, Building Division, at 922 Machin Avenue, which lists siding replacement and new or replacement windows as work requiring a permit. The housing stock varies widely, so the right approach changes block to block and depends on your preferences. Old Town’s original lots date to 1888 with First through Seventh Streets developed by 1918, which means careful integration with existing wood trim and exterior details. Hamilton Field, selected as a military airfield site in the 1920s, mixes historic 1920s and 1930s buildings with housing built during redevelopment around and after 2000. San Marin’s Valley Association development is 133 townhouse-style homes built in 1978. Detached single-family homes remain the city’s largest housing category, and many sit close enough to the Sonoma County line to share the same fire and weather concerns.
Novato averages about 744 millimeters of rain a year, nearly dry from July through September and heaviest in winter, so we schedule full tear-offs around the dry season and monitor weather closely otherwise. Central Novato has a creek-flooding history including the 1982 rains, and low-lying fill near San Pablo Bay can be susceptible to liquefaction, which makes correct drainage and flashing essential on those parcels. Because siding ties into a home’s deck ledgers, eaves and surrounding woodwork, we check those connections too, the same way we would when remodeling a kitchen or bathroom involves the outer wall. The Hillside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinance applies to slopes averaging 10% or more, so a design change on a hillside home may need Planning review before a simple permit path applies. Bel Marin Keys is unincorporated Marin County, not the incorporated city, so permit authority there differs. If you want to see window frames in person, Milgard operates a public showroom at 1020 Reichert Avenue in Novato.
