Get DetailsFrom Call to Completion
{We start with a free visit to your Hanover property — no pressure, no sales pitch. One of our experienced estimators walks the perimeter, checks the current exterior condition, takes measurements, and listens to what you want from the project. You'll get a clear, itemized written estimate that breaks down material, labor, and any prep work needed.
Most estimates are completed in a single visit of 30 to 60 minutes. If we spot anything unexpected — moisture damage, deteriorated sheathing, or problem areas around windows — we'll flag it honestly so there are no surprises on installation day. Our goal at this stage is information, not a signature.
Once you've reviewed the estimate and have questions answered, we help you select the right material for your home and budget. Whether you're choosing between vinyl profiles, weighing the value of insulated backing, or comparing fiber cement to engineered wood, we give you honest guidance based on what we've seen hold up in Hanover, VA's conditions.
Scheduling is handled around your availability. We give you a firm installation window, order your materials in advance, and confirm everything before the crew shows up. You won't be left wondering when we're coming — clear communication is part of how we work.
On installation day, our crew arrives on time, sets up site protection for your landscaping and walkways, and gets straight to work. Old siding is removed methodically, the sheathing is inspected, and any substrate issues are addressed before new material goes up. We work to manufacturer specifications so your product warranty stays fully intact.
Throughout the day, a lead installer oversees the work and is available to answer questions. We don't rush through tricky areas like window flanges and corner returns — those spots require patience and precision, and that's exactly what they get from our team.
Before we pack up, we do a complete walkthrough of the finished exterior with you. We check panel alignment, trim seams, corner consistency, and every area that was worked. If you spot something that doesn't look right, we address it on the spot — not weeks later.
We clean the site completely, dispose of all old siding material, and leave your property better than we found it. You'll receive documentation for your warranty registration and a direct contact for any follow-up. The goal is that you feel completely confident in the work before we call the job done.
In Depth
Professional Siding Installation is a layered process, and the most important decisions happen before a single panel goes up. At SOS Roofing and Siding, we've seen what happens when installation skips the preparation steps — water infiltrates behind panels, walls develop mold, and homeowners spend far more fixing damage than they would have spent doing it right the first time. Every installation we do in Hanover starts with a thorough substrate inspection because that's the foundation everything else depends on.
When the sheathing checks out, the next layer is the water-resistive barrier — commonly called house wrap or building wrap. This membrane is what actually manages moisture intrusion if any water gets past the siding panels. It has to be lapped correctly, taped at all seams, and integrated properly with flashing at windows and doors. A house wrap installed in a hurry or without proper taping at penetrations is nearly as useless as no house wrap at all.
Trim and corner work matters more than most homeowners realize. The J-channel where siding meets a window, the corner posts at building corners, and the soffit returns all determine how the finished installation looks and how water behaves at the most vulnerable points. Rushing through trim work produces crooked reveals, gaps that collect moisture, and panels that eventually buckle because expansion gaps weren't maintained.
Most manufacturer warranties on siding products are contingent on proper installation, and proper installation means following the manufacturer's printed installation guide to the letter. When installers deviate from those specs — wrong nail patterns, insufficient fastener depth, missing starter strips — the warranty can be voided even if the product itself is high quality. Every installation SOS Roofing and Siding completes is done to manufacturer spec so that warranty coverage stays fully intact for Hanover homeowners.
At the end of the job, our lead installer walks the full perimeter with you. We point out specific things we did and why, and we want you to look closely at corners, windows, and rooflines — the spots that most directly affect long-term performance. If you see anything that gives you pause, say so. We'd rather take fifteen minutes to address a concern on-site than have you think about it for days. Our goal is a handshake at the end of the job that means something to both of us.

FAQ
Installation time for a typical Hanover home ranges from one to five days. Smaller ranch-style homes can often be completed in a day or two, while larger two-story homes or projects with significant trim work may take the better part of a week. We account for this in your scheduling conversation.

In most cases, yes — removing the existing siding allows us to inspect the substrate, repair any damage, and install new house wrap before the new panels go up. This approach produces the best long-term results. In some situations, over-installation on top of existing siding is appropriate, and we'll discuss whether that option makes sense for your specific home during the estimate.
