SIDING

Siding Repair & Installation

Siding can make a significant difference in the appearance of your home. While the materials for most siding are highly durable and long-lasting, there will be an occasion where you will need to repair or replace the siding on your home. Let’s check out the different materials you will be working with.

Type of Material

Wood clapboard siding is among the oldest types of house siding. Its disadvantage is that it is not low maintenance, requiring painting and caulking to keep it looking good and functional. Additionally, it can be damaged by rot, insects, warping, or splitting.


Aluminum siding is low maintenance, but it is prone to denting and is a bit noisier than its other counterparts but is moderate in price and aesthetically beautiful. 


The benefits of vinyl siding, first and foremost, are led by its durability and strength in various weather conditions. It doesn’t decay, nor does it attract termites as wood does. It does not require painting like metal or wood siding, and for the most part, it is cleaned when it rains. Vinyl siding is the easiest to replace, although it might be hard to match the repaired section exactly.


Cement Fiber is the latest development in residential siding. It’s durable, low maintenance, made from recyclable materials, so it’s “green,” and it’s not subject to rot or insect damage.

Extent of Damage

If areas are too rotten to hold a nail, they will need to be replaced before installing the siding. The replacement can be as simple as cutting it out and fixing it with plywood – it doesn’t have to be pretty because you are going to put siding over it. Additionally, we will want to install some building paper (such as Tyvak) over your wood and under the siding to increase waterproofing.
