- Any siding project that reaches $1,000 in labor and materials is done by a licensed contractor, which includes almost every full re-side and addition.
- Window and door replacement, roof repair and gutter work. Each is its own service and is often coordinated with siding.
- Asbestos or lead abatement. Testing may be part of the bid, but abatement is done by a specialist.
- Structural repairs beyond localized sheathing and trim, including framing changes or settling foundations.
- Painting or staining of products that must be finished on site unless written into the bid.
License and permits for siding installation (new/full re-side)
Siding is exterior building work done by licensed contractors, and any carpentry, scaffolding or electrical detach and reattach steps follow the trade rules that apply. Licenses and insurance appear on the pro profile.
A re-side, new wall openings or changes to the weather barrier commonly need a permit and an inspection, and some areas add rules for fire-prone zones. Your pro normally arranges the paperwork.
Look up the license and insurance on the pro profile, and request an insurance certificate. Request the permit and final inspection record, and the siding maker certification if the product warranty depends on it.

Before you book siding installation (new/full re-side)
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph every wall
Take pictures of each side of the house and close-ups of damaged areas, windows and roof lines. Bidders can then tell whether it is a surface job or a deeper repair.
Choose the material before bids
Decide among options such as vinyl, fiber cement and wood, or ask bidders to price two. Comparing different materials makes it hard to tell which bid is better.
Ask about the weather barrier and flashing
Request that the bid names the wrap, the flashing at windows and doors, and the fasteners. Leaks commonly start here, so ask for this detail in writing.
Check association and historic rules
If you have an association, get written approval before signing. Share color samples and profile details with the contractor.
Test older material
If the house is old, ask about asbestos and lead testing before tear-off. Do not break or sand the old siding yourself, so the pro can follow the right handling steps.
Plan the yard for the crew
Move vehicles, patio furniture and potted plants away from walls. Tell the pro where dumpsters can go and where pets or children need to stay clear.
Say where in Gilroy you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Eagle Ridge, Downtown Gilroy, and Glen Loma Ranch, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

In Gilroy, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
