What a siding service agreement is for
Siding needs little care, which is why it gets none until a panel blows off or caulk at the trim fails and lets water in. A yearly visit that washes, resets and recaulks keeps the warranty conversation easy and puts you first in line for storm repairs and the next replacement.
What to put on a siding service agreement
- Walls and buildings covered.
- Yearly wash and walk-around.
- Panel resets and recaulking included.
- Storm check visits.
- Repairs quoted separately.
- Price, billing and cancellation.

Terms and deposit language for siding
- Deposit. A deposit when the contract is signed covers siding, trim and wrap ordered in the chosen color. Your state may cap home improvement deposits, so check.
- Payment. Balance due when the last wall is done, the yard is cleaned and the job is walked.
- Warranty. The maker warrants the panels. You warrant the install against loose panels and leaks at trim you installed, for the time stated. Damage from storms and impacts is not workmanship.
- Soft sheathing found after tear-off is replaced at the per sheet price on this estimate.
- Plants against the house may be trimmed back for ladders; tell us which ones matter.
- Satellite dishes, lights and hose bibs are removed and reset as listed.
