Siding is your home's raincoat. In Wauwatosa, freeze-thaw, wind-driven rain off the lake, and hail punish a cheap install fast. Generations Roofing & Remodeling tears off the old siding, inspects and dries-in the wall with fresh house wrap, then installs a material matched to your budget and your block. Here are the options.
The premium choice for Wauwatosa. Fire-resistant, hail-rated, and engineered for our climate zone, with a baked-on ColorPlus finish that holds color for 15+ years and a 30-year material warranty. Best curb appeal and resale value.
Learn moreThe warm look of real wood with engineered durability and impact resistance. Carries a 50-year limited warranty and stands up to Wauwatosa weather and the occasional stray baseball.
Learn moreStandard vinyl with rigid foam fused to the back, adding R-2 to R-4 of continuous insulation, stiffness against wind and hail, and noise dampening. A smart middle-tier upgrade for Wisconsin winters.
Learn moreThe budget-friendly, no-painting, low-maintenance option. Installed over proper house wrap with quality panels and trim, it performs well and looks clean for decades.
Learn moreBehind every panel we install a proper weather-resistive barrier and flash the windows and penetrations, the step cut-rate crews skip that lets water rot the sheathing.
Learn moreWe finish the whole exterior, soffit, fascia, corners, and trim, so seams match and the envelope is sealed. Optional gutter replacement to complete the job in one mobilization.
Learn moreA cracked panel or two from a stray ball is a repair. But when siding fails across walls, patching just chases the damage while water keeps getting behind it. Use the checklist, then let us confirm it free with samples in hand.

James Hardie completely transformed our curb appeal. The ColorPlus finish still looks brand new and the crew was meticulous around all the trim.
Hail cracked our old vinyl. Generations handled the insurance, found some rot we did not know about, and put up insulated vinyl. The house is noticeably warmer.
We wanted a real-wood look without the upkeep. LP SmartSide was perfect, and they finished the soffit and fascia to match. Clean, on time, on budget.

Zachary founded Generations Roofing & Remodeling in 2020 after seeing Wauwatosa homes re-sided over hidden rot, trapping moisture that destroyed the sheathing within a few winters. He lives in Wauwatosa and built the company around the unglamorous step that matters most: tear off, inspect, and dry-in the wall before a single panel goes up.
No franchise, no anonymous subcontractors. We install James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and quality vinyl, finish the soffit and fascia to match, and put the whole price in writing so there are no surprise add-ons.
Siding only protects your home if the wall behind it is dry and sealed. We are DSPS-licensed and install to manufacturer specifications so the warranty holds and water stays out.
We remove the old siding, inspect the sheathing, and repair any rot before new material goes up, the step that prevents the next failure.
A proper house wrap and flashed windows and penetrations create the air and water barrier that keeps the wall dry.
James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and vinyl each have specific fastening and clearance requirements. We follow them so the finish and warranty hold.
Ground, roof, and deck clearances plus kick-out flashing keep water moving away from the wall, code-aligned detailing crews often skip.
We finish the whole envelope so seams and colors match and there is no weak point left exposed.
Every siding project carries a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer material warranty.
Most Wauwatosa siding projects run $8,000 to $16,000 for vinyl on an average home, $13,000 to $24,000 for insulated vinyl or LP SmartSide engineered wood, and $18,000 to $34,000 for James Hardie fiber cement. Cost depends on the wall square footage, number of stories, trim detail, and whether soffit and fascia are included. We give a written price after measuring.
For Wauwatosa freeze-thaw, the strongest performers are James Hardie fiber cement (rated for our climate zone, fire-resistant, holds color), LP SmartSide engineered wood (impact-resistant, warm look), and insulated vinyl (adds R-value and stiffness against wind and cold). Standard vinyl is the budget-friendly choice and still performs well when installed over proper house wrap.
Vinyl is lower cost, never needs painting, and installs fast. James Hardie fiber cement costs more but resists fire, hail, and fading, holds a baked-on ColorPlus finish for 15+ years, and adds the most resale appeal. If budget is the priority, vinyl wins; if longevity and curb appeal matter most, fiber cement does.
Vinyl siding lasts 20 to 40 years in Wauwatosa, LP SmartSide carries a 50-year limited warranty, and James Hardie fiber cement lasts 30 to 50 years with a 30-year finish warranty. Lifespan depends on installation quality and whether water was kept out of the wall behind it.
If hail or wind cracked, dented, or tore off your siding, most Wisconsin policies cover replacement of the damaged area minus your deductible. Color-matching across a wall is sometimes covered as an endorsement. Wear, fading, and age are not covered. We document storm damage and can meet your adjuster.
Sometimes, but we usually recommend a full tear-off. Removing the old siding lets us inspect the sheathing for rot, install fresh house wrap, and fix any moisture problems hiding underneath. Siding over a damaged wall just traps the problem.
Most Wauwatosa siding projects finish in two to four days for an average home. Larger homes, multi-story work, or full fiber-cement installs run four to seven days. We protect your landscaping and magnet-sweep for nails at the end.
For many Wauwatosa homes, yes. Insulated vinyl adds R-2 to R-4 of continuous insulation, stiffens the panel against wind and hail, dampens noise, and reduces thermal bridging through the studs. The energy savings and added durability often justify the modest upcharge over standard vinyl.
Yes. New siding is one of the highest-return exterior upgrades, recovering roughly 60 to 80 percent of its cost at resale and dramatically improving curb appeal. Fiber cement and insulated vinyl recover the most because buyers see them as low-maintenance and durable.
Yes. We handle the full exterior, soffit, fascia, trim, house wrap, and gutters, so the whole envelope is sealed and matched. Doing it together avoids mismatched seams and a second mobilization charge later.
We install James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and Ply Gem and other quality vinyl and insulated vinyl lines. We bring physical samples and color options to your home so you see them against your roof and trim.
New siding paired with fresh house wrap and, with insulated vinyl, continuous exterior insulation, seals air leaks and reduces thermal bridging, which can lower Wauwatosa heating bills. The biggest gains come from fixing the air barrier behind the siding, which a proper tear-off lets us do.
We measure the exterior, check for hidden moisture, and bring physical siding samples and colors to your home. Written price, financing options, no pressure. Talk to Alexis Quesada, our project coordinator, who answers within two rings.
