What a full re-side involves
A proper replacement starts by taking the old siding off, not covering it. That is the only way to see the sheathing and framing behind it, and in a humid climate that is where the trouble hides: soft wood under a window sill, a wet corner behind a leaking gutter, a band of rot along the bottom course.
Once damaged wood is replaced, the wall gets a weather-resistive barrier (house wrap or a similar layer), flashing around every window and door, and new trim. Only then does the new siding go on, started level at the bottom and lapped so water always runs outward.
Checklist
What the written price should spell out
- Tear-off: what comes off, how many layers, and where the debris goes
- How rotted sheathing or framing is handled and priced once it is uncovered
- The house wrap or other barrier, and how windows and doors are flashed
- The siding product by type, profile and color, and the trim that goes with it
- Corners, J-channel, soffit and fascia: what is replaced and what is kept
- The maker's warranty and the contractor's own workmanship terms, in writing
- Who pulls the permit (the City of Greer lists siding among work that needs one)
Re-siding in a fast-growing city
Greer has grown quickly: about 50,000 people lived there in 2025, up from roughly 35,500 in 2020 (Census estimates). Close to three in four occupied homes are owner-occupied (ACS 2020–2024). That mix means plenty of newer houses whose first siding is aging, alongside older brick ranches and frame houses that have been re-sided before.
Inside the city limits, the City of Greer's permit page lists siding among residential work that needs a permit before work begins, and says getting it is the contractor's job (City of Greer permits). Outside the limits the county issues permits; the permits guide explains how to tell which applies.

Questions
Siding Replacement: common questions
How long does a siding replacement take?
On a typical house the siding work itself often takes several working days; bigger homes, extra trim and rot repairs add time. Permits, material orders and weather add time before work starts. Ask for the whole timeline in writing.
Can new siding go over the old siding?
Sometimes, but most contractors recommend taking the old siding off so the wall can be checked and wrapped properly. Covering a damp or rotted wall traps the problem. Ask the contractor what they propose and why.
Do I need to be home during the work?
Usually not every day, but someone should be reachable. Clear patio furniture, grills and planters away from the walls, and keep pets and children clear of the work area.
