About Rowhouse Siding Replacement

Historic homes deserve siding work that respects their character. Original wood clapboard, cedar shakes, and decorative shingles were milled in profiles you won't find at a modern lumberyard — restoration often means custom-matched boards, traditional joinery, and finishes appropriate to the era. The guiding principle is preservation first: repair what can be saved and replace only what must be replaced. Salvage yards and specialty mills can be goldmines for matching historic profiles, and some contractors keep patterns from past restorations. Ask what's available before assuming custom milling is the only option. Working with a contractor who understands preservation — not just construction — is the single best decision you can make for a historic exterior.

Older homes also hide surprises — layers of past siding, outdated flashing, and occasionally materials like asbestos-cement that need specialist handling. Historic districts may add design review requirements as well. Photograph the original details before work begins, both for district records and your own files; good documentation helps future owners continue the preservation work. For work that honors your home's history, call and we'll connect you with a siding contractor in Washington, DC experienced in historic restoration.
