Waterford houses, and what re-siding them involves
Waterford is a Quaker mill village founded around 1733 and a National Historic Landmark. Its Federal-style houses from 1781 to 1860 are stone, log under weatherboard, and brick, with later Victorian houses on Second Street.
Outside the village, newer homes in 20197, such as the Reserve at Waterford, have standard frame walls. On those, we strip to the wall, fix rot, wrap, and install the new siding.
What siding is allowed in Waterford?
Inside the Waterford Historic District, the county’s guidelines say vinyl and aluminum siding will not be approved, and they advise against replacing original wood siding with fiber cement. Historic houses there usually need wood repair or in-kind replacement, which is outside what we do.
Outside the district, you can choose quality vinyl with Alside’s Double Lifetime Warranty or James Hardie with its 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty. Our siding page compares every option.
Do you need approval to replace siding in Waterford?
Inside the historic district, yes, for any change of material. Loudoun County’s Historic District Review Committee reviews exterior work in the county’s historic districts. A change of material needs a Certificate of Appropriateness; replacing existing materials in kind typically does not. Applicants meet with county staff first, and the committee meets on the second Monday of each month.
- Easements: many Waterford houses carry Waterford Foundation easements, and the application needs the easement holder’s approval where one applies.
- Outside the district: Virginia’s building code exempts siding replacement on houses, and HOAs such as the Reserve at Waterford’s may review color. 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 the job grows to include new or larger openings, that part needs a building permit.
