Siding Replacement & Repair in Park City, KS

Park City at a glance

Park City had 8,333 residents and about 3,233 housing units in the 2020 census. It is best known regionally as the home of Park City Arena, and it sits along I-135 between Wichita and Valley Center. Much of the city's housing went up in the second half of the twentieth century, with newer construction added on the west side.

Siding on Park City homes

Drive Park City's residential streets and you will see a lot of single-story ranch homes. Their original siding was often wood or hardboard lap, sometimes with brick on the front. Over the decades, many were covered with aluminum or vinyl. Today, homeowners here usually come to siding for one of three reasons:

1. Hardboard failure. Hardboard (often called Masonite) lap siding swells, softens and flakes at the bottom edges when water gets in. Once many boards are failing, replacement usually beats patching.
2. Old aluminum or first-generation vinyl. Dented aluminum and brittle, faded vinyl are hard to repair and harder to match.
3. Storm damage. Hail and wind affect all ages of homes.

Garages, shops and outbuildings

Park City has plenty of detached garages and backyard shops, plus commercial and light-industrial buildings near the interstate. Outbuildings often have T1-11 plywood panels or painted hardboard that rot from the bottom up. When the house is re-sided, many owners do the garage at the same time so everything matches. Engineered wood panels and steel siding are common choices for shops. See what is T1-11 siding?

Ranch homes: small changes, big difference

Because ranch homes are long and low, siding is a large share of what you see from the street. A few choices change the look a lot:

• Wider lap profiles, or Dutch lap, give a more substantial look than narrow old lap.
• Board and batten on gables adds interest without changing the whole house.
• Stone veneer under the front windows or on porch columns. See stone veneer siding.
• Wider window and corner trim makes a modest house look more finished.

Asbestos and older materials

Some Park City homes from the 1950s and 1960s may have asbestos-cement shingles under later siding or on garages. If you suspect it, have it identified before work begins. The EPA advises leaving intact material undisturbed and using trained professionals for removal. See old asbestos and aluminum siding replacement.

Permits

Park City is an incorporated city, so check with city hall about permits and contractor requirements. For reference, the Wichita-Sedgwick County code exempts siding repairs of 400 square feet or less within 12 months, and larger re-siding work generally needs a permit. See does siding need a permit?

Budgeting a ranch re-side

Single-story homes are generally simpler to side than two-stories, with less scaffolding and fewer tall walls. National guides such as HomeGuide list installed costs per square foot by material, and removing old siding adds to the total. Use how much siding do I need? to estimate your wall area, then compare against the published ranges in the siding cost guide. Actual prices come from the contractor's quote.

Repairs between replacements

Not every problem calls for new siding. A cracked vinyl panel, a few rotted boards near the driveway, or a loose corner post can be repaired. See siding repair.
