Siding Installation and Repair
Siding is the weather skin of the house. When it cracks, warps, or comes loose, water gets behind it and into the wall. We replace damaged sections or reside the whole house, and pay the same attention to the trim and openings as to the siding itself.
Signs your siding needs work
Siding problems usually show on the outside before the damage inside the wall becomes serious. Look for:
Cracked, warped, or loose panels
Damaged siding lets water reach the sheathing behind it.
Soft spots or rot
Wood or trim that gives under pressure means moisture has been getting in for some time.
Stains or peeling paint inside
Moisture coming through the wall shows up on interior walls near windows and corners.
Gaps around windows and doors
Failed caulk and flashing at openings are the most common point of entry.
Fading and chalking
Heavily weathered siding has lost much of its protection even if it is still in place.
Siding, step by step
Every job follows the same sequence. You are told which stage you are at and what happens next.
Walk the house
We look at every side of the house: the condition of the siding and trim, the joints around windows and doors, and anywhere water is getting behind the wall.
Written scope
An itemized estimate that says whether a repair will match and hold, or whether a wall or the whole house is due for new siding.
Remove and inspect
Old siding comes off where it is being replaced, so any damaged sheathing or wet framing is found and dealt with rather than covered over.
Wrap, flash, and install
House wrap and flashing go on first, detailed around every window, door, and penetration. Then the new siding and trim are installed.
Cleanup
Offcuts, nails, and old material are cleared from the site at the end of every day.

Frequently asked
Can you match my existing siding for a repair?
Often, but not always. Siding fades and profiles get discontinued, so a patch on a sunny wall can stand out. We tell you before the work whether a close match is available, and whether residing one full wall would look better than patching it.
Can you combine siding with stone veneer?
Yes. A stone veneer base or accent wall with siding above is a common combination, and since we do both, the transition between the two is detailed as one job.
Why do the trim and flashing matter so much?
Most water damage behind siding starts at an opening rather than through the siding itself. Windows, doors, and the joints where walls meet the roof are where water finds its way in, so that is where the detailing has to be right.
