Virginia requires a state license for siding replacement contractors. Worth a quick check before you sign anything. Look up the license number at the state licensing board. Unlicensed work can void manufacturer warranties and make insurance claims a lot harder.

Virginia uses the 2021 IECC, and a lot of jurisdictions here enforce a stretch code on top of it. That pushes the efficiency bar higher than the baseline standard. For permitted siding replacement work, confirm with your contractor what the local building department actually requires before anything gets ordered.
