Siding, Seasons and the Chesapeake Climate
Before you pick a material, look at what the Chesapeake weather does to an exterior wall over the years:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Virginia sits in region 3.
Damp, shaded walls. North walls and spots under trees stay wet for days. Plan on an occasional soft wash, and use rot-proof materials close to the ground and around decks and steps.
Freeze-thaw. Water that gets behind siding and then freezes pries seams and caulk apart. With winter lows near 26°F, flashing at windows and kick-out flashing where a roof meets a wall are worth more than a fancier panel.
Shoreline exposure. Wind-driven salt spray wears finishes and metal parts first. Rinse the walls a few times a year, and check that the bid names coastal-rated fasteners.
Contractors here work most of the year, but early spring and late fall book fastest. Ask about a midsummer start if you want a shorter wait. Siding costs for Chesapeake (the independent city of Chesapeake) are figured on their own; Norfolk, the nearest listed city at roughly 9 miles north, has a separate price page.

Common Questions About New Siding in Chesapeake
Is fiber cement worth the extra cost over vinyl?
Fiber cement ($20,210 to $29,180) wins for a long stay: it lasts longer and holds paint well. Vinyl ($11,640 to $16,810) costs less now and never needs painting.

Contractors measure the walls in squares of 100 sq. ft. Here, vinyl comes to roughly $690.35 a square and fiber cement $1,238.31, with extras on top.
Should the old siding come off?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $2,010 to $4,020 here.
