House Siding Project ---Experience and Suggestions Needed

[Rita Davis]

Hi BP Family, It's time for the 80's composite siding to come down. It is a 2 story in Southern Calif stucco on the bottom composite on top. Hardie boards are not being considered, too heavy of a cement-like board, There are past foundation slab issues also I am on dirt that wasn't graded right by contractors when it was built, also clay dirt. I do not want real wood. I want a good long-term fix, low or no termite concern. I found out I have termites and will be doing a complete roof tear-off also and plan to take all the siding off and it will definitely need a new rewrap I'm sure. I have looked at something called azek siding.... just starting to look and welcome any feedback. Another question? Who should be going first, the siding person or roofer for the area where the shingles and siding butt up against each other on the second-floor roof landing. It's like which came first the chicken or the egg scenario...Any suggestions welcomed and private message me please if you have any L.A. siding contractor suggestions. Thanks for reading this and your feedback.

Also, if there's extensive damage under the eaves and soffits and the roofer is not wanting to do that part, any suggestions......should I get a carpenter.
