Stephen Bass Home Repair & Remodeling provides professional siding installation and replacement services for homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and communities throughout the Bay Area. Whether your home needs new siding to replace aging or damaged panels, or you are looking to upgrade to a more durable material like James Hardie fiber cement siding, our licensed team handles every step of the process. We begin with a thorough inspection of your home’s exterior to identify underlying issues such as moisture damage or wood rot before any new siding is installed. With over 15 years of experience and California Contractor License #1063269, we deliver siding projects that protect your home and improve its curb appeal for years to come.
Everything You Need Under One Roof
Choosing the right siding material depends on your home’s architectural style, your budget, and the specific weather conditions in your area. Here are the siding options we install for Bay Area homeowners:
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding The most popular choice among San Jose homeowners for its resistance to moisture, termites, and temperature swings. James Hardie siding comes in a wide range of colors and textures, and is backed by a 30-year manufacturer warranty. It does not warp, crack, or rot like traditional wood siding, making it an excellent long-term investment for California homes.
Vinyl Siding A cost-effective option that offers low maintenance and solid durability. Modern vinyl siding has come a long way from the older products many homeowners remember. Today’s vinyl panels resist fading, are available in realistic wood-grain textures, and install quickly. This is a strong choice for homeowners looking for a budget-friendly exterior update.
Wood Siding For homeowners who prefer a natural, traditional look, wood siding offers warmth and character that other materials cannot match. However, wood siding requires regular maintenance including painting or staining every few years and should be paired with proper moisture barriers to prevent rot. We recommend wood siding for sheltered areas or homeowners who are committed to upkeep.
LP SmartSide Engineered Wood This engineered wood siding combines the appearance of real wood with improved resistance to moisture and impact. LP SmartSide is treated with a zinc borate compound that protects against termites and fungal decay. It is lighter than fiber cement, which can reduce installation time and labor costs.
We will help you evaluate each option during your free consultation and recommend the best material based on your home, your neighborhood, and your goals.

"Stephen Bass offered a fantastic sanity check on some home repairs we felt were required. He talked us down off the ledge and provided some great common sense solutions. He turned a BIG PROBLEM into a much smaller issue. He could have suggested repairs in the $10,000s, but he was honest. He was also responsive, prompt, courteous, funny, and one of the most intelligent people I've spoken to in the Silicon Valley. Not needed this time, but we can't wait to do business with him in the future!!"
"I came across Stephen Bass Home Repair in my search for a Handyman to repair some dry rot on our home. They sent out a tech the next day to appraise the damage and give me a quote for the repair. The quote detailed the steps to repair the damaged wood. The tech walked me through the list to confirm I understood the plan. I appreciated their straightforward communications about the progress of the project. The next day the office called me called me to work out a schedule for a start date. The team arrived on the scheduled day and time with all the components to start the repairs. The team was very professional and meticulous. The work areas were protected and at the end of the day the entire area was cleaned up as if no one was there. As I viewed the work completed at the end of the day, I saw the professionalism, attention to detail, and quality. If you are looking for a construction company for home repair, I highly recommend Stephen Bass Home Repair. Greg S"
"I reached out to their office for help with my kitchen cabinet, which was nearly falling and had caused a big crack in the drywall. From the start, I was greeted warmly and asked all the right questions. Stephen followed up after reviewing the pictures I sent and provided excellent advice. He reassured me that the drywall damage was only cosmetic and explained that I didn't need to hire a professional contractor for the repair. Their honesty and professionalism really stood out--this truly seems like a trustworthy team! Thanks Stephen. "
"Just has a great experience with this company. I was worried about the wood siding of my house and they came and explained how I could repair it all myself and that I don't need anyone to do it for me. Told me exactly what I needed to do, how to do it, and specific products that would work well to repair the cracks and openings. Very refreshing experience by an honest small business.

Most siding installation projects in San Jose take between 1 and 2 weeks for an average-sized home. Larger homes or projects that involve removing and repairing dry rot underneath the old siding may take 2 to 3 weeks. Weather delays are uncommon in the Bay Area but can occasionally extend the timeline during the rainy season. We provide a detailed project timeline during your free consultation.
James Hardie fiber cement siding is widely regarded as the top choice for Bay Area homes. It resists moisture, termites, and UV fading, which are the primary concerns for homes in San Jose and surrounding cities. Vinyl siding is a budget-friendly alternative that works well for many homeowners, while engineered wood like LP SmartSide offers a natural look with improved durability over traditional wood.
Yes. Dry rot hiding behind siding is one of the most common issues we find during our initial inspection. Unlike some contractors who only install new panels over damaged wood, we remove all rot-damaged material, treat the surrounding wood, and replace it with moisture-resistant Lumber before any new siding goes on. This prevents the rot from spreading and protects your investment. Learn more about our dry rot repair service
In most cases, a building permit is not required for siding replacement if the project involves replacing existing siding with the same type and does not alter the structure. However, if structural repairs are needed or if you are changing the siding type, a permit may be required by the City of San Jose. We handle all permitting when it is needed, so you do not have to worry about navigating the process yourself.
Everything your Bay Area home needs under one roof from siding installation to complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in San Jose and surrounding cities.
