I would advise locating a vinyl siding company and getting them to break some scraps that they ve laying around about an inch much higher than the concrete will be poured and as far out from the house as the scraps will go.
Concrete patio against siding.
Starting at foundation not siding you can install pavers against your house foundation as long as it is the foundation itself.
Typically when i pour concrete against a house foundation never pour concrete against any siding imho it invites trouble later i have an expansion joint set to the house.
It can be cork 1 2 thick by 4 tall set to the wall with short pins to hold it while pouring.

Observed non standard installation of concrete on the patio see photo this section.
The siding should be 4 8 inches above the surface of the concrete.
Large roof overhangs can provide protection in some cases.
This means that you can lay the pavers against the concrete of your foundation as it rises from the earth.
The best thing to do and it s the code in va is to put aluminum coil in between the wood and the concrete.
If you find your plans require laying pavers against vents siding or other materials choose another patio plan.
You are right to be concerned about placing the new concrete step in direct contact with the fiber cement trim or most siding and trim materials for that matter.
Sometimes with the siding trim and door out of the way a flashing can be slid in between the house and the concrete.
