Siding & Exterior Cladding Permit Application
Re-siding permits turn on two questions: is the existing cladding coming off, and what weather-resistive barrier goes back on. Building departments want the material, the wall area, and the flashing approach documented before the wrap is covered.
Who uses it
Siding contractors, exterior remodelers, and storm-restoration crews.
What the generated document includes
- Cladding material, manufacturer and covered wall area
- Tear-off versus over-clad scope statement
- Weather-resistive barrier, flashing and continuous-insulation detail
- Contractor license, insurance and valuation blocks
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Going over existing siding where the code official requires a full tear-off inspection of the sheathing
- Skipping the WRB and flashing description, which triggers a mid-job inspection hold
- Understating wall area so the declared valuation does not match the contract
