Our Approach to Siding Repair
Your siding is your home's first line of defense against the elements (wind, snow, rain), mold, pest infestation, and structural decay. Damaged siding lead to higher energy bills. Repairing your siding stops small issues from becoming costly big ones. Here's how JN Home Contractor approaches siding repair for the most common exterior cladding materials.
Vinyl Siding Repair
-
Assessment and Preparation
The first thing our siding team does before repairing damage is perform a thorough assessment and inspection of the affected area to determine the extent of the damage. This involves checking for underlying water damage, rot in the sheathing, and identifying if a simple patch or full panel replacement is required.
-
Replacing Damaged Panels
When a piece of vinyl siding is cracked, broken, or warped, we remove it by unlocking it from the panels above and below using a zip tool. A new piece, matched by manufacturer and color, is measured, cut, and snapped into place.
-
Re-Securing Loose Panels
If panels have popped out due to wind, our team will lock them back into the proper position, and check to see if they were originally nailed too tightly—which can cause buckling.
-
Patching Small Holes & Cracks
For minor damage (under 1 inch), we may use a vinyl patch, epoxy filler, or sealants to fill holes or cracks.
-
Fixing Underlying Damage
If the siding damage allowed water to infiltrate, our siding repair team will inspect and repair the underlying sheathing, house wrap, or insulation before installing the new replacement panels—then fix any issues.
-
Ensuring Proper Expansion Room
When installing new pieces, we ensure the siding is "hung" rather than nailed tightly to the wall, leaving enough of a gap to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
-
Sealing and Waterproofing
Final steps include applying color-matched, high-quality caulk to joints, corners, and repaired areas to ensure a watertight seal.
Wood Siding Repair
-
Inspection and Preparation
Our siding repair team checks for rot, soft spots, cracking, and pest damage. We remove old caulk and any peeling paint for a clean, ready surface. Severely damaged boards are cut out with precision tools to avoid harming surrounding siding.
-
Repairing or Replacing Damaged Wood
Small rot spots are filled with high‑strength wood epoxy that can be sanded and painted to match. Remaining wood is treated with preservatives to prevent future decay. When damage is extensive, we replace full boards with properly matched, durable wood siding.
-
Installation & Sealing
New siding is secured with rust‑resistant nails, often pre‑drilled to prevent splitting. We back‑caulk joints for water protection and ensure proper drainage gaps so moisture can escape and won’t become trapped behind the siding.
-
Finishing
All seams are sealed with premium exterior caulk and the new boards can then be primed and painted with durable exterior‑grade coatings.
Metal Siding Repair
-
Assessment and Cleaning
Our team will inspect the siding for rust, dents, and structural issues, then clean the area to remove oxidation and ensure proper adhesion for repairs.
-
Removing Damaged Panels
Damaged sections are unlocked from adjoining panels using a zip tool, then carefully lifted so fasteners can be removed without bending surrounding metal.
-
Removing Fasteners
The loose panel is lifted to reveal the nails holding the damaged section. These nails are pulled using a pry bar.
-
Subsurface Inspection
With the panel removed, we examine the house wrap and sheathing for moisture, mold, or pest damage and address any issues before re-installing new siding.
-
Fitting & Securing the New Panel
A manufacturer‑matched replacement is measured, cut, snapped into the lower panel’s locking profile, and nailed into studs. The upper panel is then zipped back into place for a secure, weather‑tight finish.
Engineered Wood Siding Repair
-
Inspection and Removal
Our siding repair experts assess for rot, moisture damage, and structural issues. Damaged boards are carefully pried out, with surrounding panels lifted as needed to access and remove fasteners cleanly.
-
Repairing the House Wrap
If the water‑resistive barrier is torn or compromised, we repair or replace it and add proper flashing to protect the home from future moisture intrusion.
-
Installing New Panels
New engineered wood boards are cut to size and installed with the correct expansion gaps—never too tight—to allow for natural movement and prevent buckling.
-
Fastening and Finishing
All seams are sealed with premium exterior caulk. The siding is then ready to prime and paint.
Fiber Cement Siding Repair
-
Assessment & Site Preparation
Our siding repair crew will inspect for cracks, rot, and underlying moisture issues in the sheathing. Because fiber cement produces silica dust when cut, proper safety gear is always used.
-
Removal of Damaged Siding
Damaged planks are carefully cut or pried out using oscillating tools or specialty blades, protecting surrounding siding from chips or cracks.
-
Removing Underlayment & Flashing
If water damage is present, we replace compromised sheathing, repair the house wrap with waterproof tape, and update flashing to ensure reliable moisture control.
-
Installing New Fiber Cement Planks
Replacement planks are cut to size, installed with proper joint gaps for expansion, and secured with galvanized or stainless steel nails for long‑term durability.
-
Caulking and Sealing
All butt joints, edges, and penetrations around windows and doors are sealed with high‑quality exterior caulk to keep water out. The siding is then ready for priming and painting.
