Real Project
Siding in Palms: What We Did
On this house in Palms, we took the old wood siding off the front and both sides and replaced it with fiber-cement lap siding. Behind the old siding we found rotted sheathing; it was replaced and covered with a weather barrier before the new siding went on. We also replaced six windows, patched the stucco at two of the openings, added new rain gutters, and primed and painted the house teal with white trim.

When the old siding came off, the sheathing behind it was rotted in places, like this section below a window.

The rotted sheathing came out and new sheathing went in.

The new sheathing was covered with a weather barrier.

Then the fiber-cement lap siding went on over the barrier.


Six windows were replaced with new-construction units, each one flashed into the new weather barrier.

At two of the window openings, the stucco around the new window was patched.

Then the whole house was primed.

And painted: a teal body with white trim.



The job also included new rain gutters. The work was permitted, and the electrical panel work on the house was done by a licensed electrician.
Buildda Tip
When replacing siding, we always inspect the sheathing and house wrap underneath. Damaged moisture barriers are the real cause of most siding failures - replacing siding without fixing the barrier means the problem returns within a few years.

Siding Installation & Repair in Palms: Local Context
Palms sits about 0.8 miles from our Culver City headquarters, roughly 1 minutes in typical traffic. We dispatch crews from one location, which keeps scheduling, materials runs, and follow-up visits straightforward.
Palms's housing stock leans toward 1920s bungalows and Apartments. Every siding decision (color, profile, material) gets weighed against keeping that character intact.
Siding work in Palms is permitted through LADBS, with typical timelines around 2-4 weeks for most outdoor projects. Online permit applications available through LADBS portal. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep the paperwork trail in your project file.
Palms's climate (mild coastal climate) shapes how we approach siding. Year-round outdoor living with mild coastal temperatures. Practical implication for this work: minimal rain delays for construction.
HOAs are present in parts of Palms, and siding work often goes through architectural review before we break ground. Typical reviews touch on condo hoas may have exterior modification rules. We collect approvals as a discrete project phase so the schedule reflects the real start date.
Local conditions in Palms we plan around: mature tree canopy creating heavy shade and root competition and dense neighborhood requiring privacy-focused outdoor design solutions. We design the scope so these constraints are surfaced before contract, not discovered mid-project.
