Inspection and record
The same habit as the roof. Panels, trim, corners, the course nearest the ground and every junction with the roofline, written down before anything is priced.
Rain treats the covering above and the cladding below as one surface. Splitting them between two trades is what leaves the seam between them unowned.

Siding is on this list because of where its failures are. Water that gets behind a wall nearly always entered at a junction — the roofline, a wall-to-roof step, a corner, a trim run — and those are exactly the places a roofer is already standing. Two trades each assuming the other owns that junction is how it stays unfixed for a decade.

Cracked, loose or impact-damaged panels replaced in place where the surface around them is sound and a reasonable match exists.
Where the surface has reached its end, or where damage behind it means the wall must come back to the sheathing to be put right.
Step flashing, counter-flashing and the kick-out at the foot of a run. A missing kick-out is among the most dependable causes of rot inside a wall.
Where a replacement is already booked, wall work costs less done at the same time because the staging and the container are there anyway. That is a reason to ask about it rather than a reason to be sold it — plenty of walls get looked at, recorded and left exactly as they are.
A full strip to bare boards and a new system, quoted in squares and sheets rather than one figure.
