What does siding replacement cost in Mount Vernon?
| Siding type | Typical whole-house range |

Most Mount Vernon-area homes are post-war ramblers, split-levels and colonials, and many are modest in size, so they often land in the lower half of these ranges. Mid-century modern houses with vertical siding and lots of glass price differently because of the detail work.
The estimate names the exact product and color, which also helps with any design review.
Mount Vernon houses, and what re-siding them involves
Neighborhoods along the Mount Vernon corridor, such as Waynewood, Stratford Landing and Collingwood, were mostly built from the late 1940s through the 1970s. Nearby Hollin Hills has 463 houses, most of them mid-century moderns designed by Charles Goodman.
Houses this age can hide old layers and soft sheathing. We strip to the wall, replace any rot, wrap the house, and then hang the new siding.
What siding suits a Mount Vernon house?
For a 1950s colonial or rambler, quality vinyl with Alside’s Double Lifetime Warranty or James Hardie fiber cement with its 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty are the usual choices.
In Hollin Hills, the county’s design guidelines recommend in-kind or compatible materials such as vertical wood or T1-11 style siding, and advise against vinyl or aluminum over original siding. Our siding page compares every option.
Do you need a permit or approval to replace siding in Mount Vernon?
Usually no permit. Fairfax County lists re-siding with similar material as not needing a permit for homes. Mount Vernon, Fort Hunt and Hollin Hills have Alexandria mailing addresses but are unincorporated Fairfax County, so the City of Alexandria’s historic board does not apply.
- Hollin Hills: the county Historic Overlay District has design guidelines, and separately the Civic Association’s Design Review Committee reviews siding under deed covenants that date to 1950. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names.
- Riverfront and creek lots: homes in a floodplain or resource protection area may need separate county approval.
- Civic and homeowner associations: some neighborhoods have covenants. We work closely with the committees, we have a great relationship with plenty of HOAs in the area, and it has never been a problem for us.
- Structural changes: if the job grows to include new or larger openings, that part needs a building permit.
