If you are talking about cedar shake siding, it doesn't HAVE to be removed. Just put a house wrap (vapor barrior) over the shakes before re-siding. However, if you want a good looking result, I'd suggest removing the shakes. Leaving them on may cuase the new vinyl to look lumpy or wavy. This is not as big an issue with wood or aluminum siding as they are more rigid.

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.
Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.
My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.

hmmm only thing i can think of that ur talking about is that u have wooden " shakes" on ur exterior walls. the vinyl installer should install 1 x 3 or 1 x 4 batts( boards nailed over shakes from top to bottom) and then install the vinyl over it attached to the batts. make sure he uses the proper length nails so that when he nails the batts up he hits the plywood on the walls or if none there that he hits the studs.

You need to check your local code enforcement office. Many communities have different codes for this. Some allow up to three layers to some requiring the old layers removed before installing a new one. The concern is the weight of the roof and if your structure will support the weight plus the weight of snow, rain and wind,.

They dont need to be removed. Just secure the loose ones with a couple of nails.

???????? if your talking about the roof then deal with that when the time comes. but if for some reason you have shingles for siding now, then just go over them.
