A townhouse or condo-style home on the hill has far less wall than a detached house in the old town, so it usually comes in lower. Older frame houses near Mill Street can have porches, decorative trim and old siding layers, which moves the number up.

Occoquan houses, and what re-siding them involves
Occoquan is a small town on the south bank of the Occoquan River. Its historic core along Mill, Commerce, Washington and Ellicott Streets has frame and brick buildings from the 1700s and 1800s. Many late-1800s houses there have German siding and porches, and a few are early 1900s bungalows. Townhouse and condo communities sit on the hill above town.
On the older frame houses, original wood siding can still be under later layers, and rot tends to start at the sills and corners. We strip to the wall, replace any rot we find, wrap the house, and then hang the new siding in a profile the ARB has approved.
What siding works on an Occoquan house?
In the Old and Historic District, the Town’s guidelines prefer repairing original siding, and where that is not possible, a modern material that keeps the same look. James Hardie fiber cement lap siding, with its 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty, is often the closest match to painted wood.
Outside the district, quality vinyl with Alside’s Double Lifetime Warranty and insulated vinyl (we are a Progressive Foam Preferred Partner) are also on the table. Our siding page compares every option.
Do you need approval to replace siding in Occoquan?
Inside the Old and Historic District, yes. All exterior changes in the district need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Town’s Architectural Review Board before work starts. Prince William County issues building permits for Occoquan, and only after the Town gives zoning approval.
- ARB timing: the board meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Applications are due at Town Hall by close of business on the Tuesday of the week before, with samples and spec sheets, and the applicant or a representative must attend. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names.
- Building permits: Virginia’s building code exempts siding replacement on single-family homes and townhouses from a permit. The building official may still require one in a locally designated historic district or a flood hazard area. Parts of Occoquan along the river are mapped floodplain.
- Condo and townhouse communities: on the hill, the association may own or control the siding, so its approval comes first. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names. 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 rot repair turns into framing work, we stop, show you, and price it in writing first. Framing work can need a Prince William County building permit, which follows Town zoning approval.
