QUESTION:  For partial re-siding of an older home is a water resistive barrier required such as house wrap?

ANSWER:  Yes all homes and attached garages require a water resistive barrier under replaced siding regardless of when the home was built. New water resistive barrier is required when any complete portions or sides of siding material (top to bottom of wall) is replaced. Existing water resistive barrier must be removed and replaced in these areas only.  Existing siding that will remain in place can remain as is.
