Should You Replace Your Roof and Siding at the Same Time?

The Benefits of Bundling

When your roof and siding are both near the end of their life, doing them together means one crew, one schedule, and properly integrated flashing where roof meets wall.

• Coordinated colors and a cohesive design
• Better roof-to-wall flashing details
• Potential savings on setup and disposal
• One contractor accountable for the whole envelope

Better Flashing, Fewer Leaks

Where roof meets wall is one of the most leak-prone spots on any home. When roofing and siding are replaced at the same time, step flashing, kick-out flashing and drip edge can all be installed correctly as one system instead of being worked around existing materials.

A Coordinated Look

Choosing roof shingles and siding colors together gives you a balanced, designed exterior. GAF shingle colors and James Hardie ColorPlus colors can be paired so everything — roof, siding, trim and gutters — works as one palette.

• One color plan for roof, siding, trim and gutters
• One crew and one schedule
• One point of contact from start to finish

Is It Right for Your Home?

If either your roof or siding is near the end of its life, it's worth getting a combined estimate. Even if you phase the work, planning both together helps avoid tearing into new materials later. Financing can also make a larger combined project more manageable.
