Vinyl Siding Replacement in Concord, NH

Concord is New Hampshire's capital. It was incorporated in 1734 as Rumford, and today the city takes in Penacook, Concord Heights, East Concord and West Concord as well as downtown. The Contoocook River joins the Merrimack at Penacook.

The houses we side in Concord

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020 to 2024 estimates), Concord has about 19,300 homes. The median home in the city was built in 1969. About 33 percent were built before 1940, 61 percent before 1980 and 16 percent in 2000 or later. About 47 percent are single-family houses, 19 percent are in buildings with two to four units, and 57 percent are lived in by their owners.

A city with that many pre-1940 houses has a lot of original wood clapboard still sitting under later siding, and a lot of painted trim that has to be treated as containing lead until a test shows otherwise. Older walls are also rarely flat or square, which matters as soon as long, straight courses of new lap siding go up.

What we look for on Concord houses

These are the problems we expect to find when the old siding comes off a house in Concord. Every one of them is checked before the new siding goes on.

• Original wood clapboards under aluminum or vinyl added later. We usually take everything off to the sheathing.
• Wavy, out-of-square walls. New lap siding shows every bump unless the wall is shimmed where it needs it.
• No housewrap at all behind the old siding. New housewrap, taped at the seams, goes on before any siding.
• Lead-safe setup and cleanup on houses built before 1978.

Climate and building code in Concord

Concord is in Merrimack County, which the energy code places in climate zone 5: long, cold winters with a lot of freeze and thaw. For siding, that means water management matters more than the panel itself. Snow piles against the walls, ice dams push meltwater behind trim, and any gap in the flashing gets tested every winter. New Hampshire moved to the 2024 International Residential Code on July 1, 2026, and kept the 2018 energy code.

Permits in Concord

Whether a siding replacement needs a building permit is set by the town, and it can depend on the scope. Before work starts we confirm it with Concord's Code Administration Division. Town permit fees, where they apply, are listed separately on the estimate.

An example ballpark for a Concord house

Here is what our Instant Ballpark returns for a two-story house with about 1,500 square feet of wall, one layer of old siding, 14 windows and doors, built before 1978, re-siding with standard vinyl lap siding, with Concord entered as the town: $15,000 to $18,000. That is an example to show how the numbers work, not a quote for your house. Your range depends on your own wall area, stories, layers and openings, and the written estimate after a site visit is the number that counts.

This is a ballpark, not a quote. It is not adjusted to your site until someone from Atlas sees it; final pricing comes after a site visit and a written estimate.
