Siding Repair

Siding refers to the external view of your home and the weatherproof layer that protects all the layers below it, such as the sheathing, building paper, insulation, wall studs and the interiors. Therefore, the prime duty of siding is to hold the house together and protect its interiors. If you too have siding repair to be done, call us for the best solutions. A home may have wood sidings, man-made sidings or masonry sidings. But wood sidings are regularly exposed to the harsh elements, resulting in cracks, holes, splits, and loose pieces. Therefore, they need constant maintenance and siding repair.

You may need siding repair alongside your painting project

Siding repair materials generally comprise wood, metal, vinyl and masonry materials. Wood sidings are available as boards, shingles or shakes; man-made sidings are steel, vinyl or aluminum sidings; and masonry sidings are available as stone, brick or stucco.

Each of the above categories presents some options in the form of materials used: for wood, pine and cedar are used, while for man-made products, vinyl and aluminum are the choices offered. In terms of shapes available, you can get sidings as shakes, shingles, panels and clapboards in sizes ranging from four inches to 10 inches. They are cost-effective and long lasting and are therefore very widely used.
Of all the above types, the most popular are vinyl sidings. It is also the most expensive, probably because it has a 50-year lifetime. You can also make your choice in vinyl in a number of textures and colors to get a unique look. It is also low maintenance, as it neither requires staining nor painting. However, bad weather can destroy it as it does not come with any insulation. It is also not environmentally friendly.
On the other hand, wood siding is a green option. Here, cedar is a very popular choice since it provides a natural look and because it offers a degree of insulation, which means your energy bills are reduced. Shakes are durable sidings and can be repaired, if damaged. However, on the whole, wood sidings are high on maintenance and need painting or staining every few years. And being a natural product, it is vulnerable to contracting moss and mildew, which if untreated, can damage your siding.
A durable option, fiber cement siding is not as expensive as wood and can resemble stucco, wood or masonry. It is also fire-resistant and is a low maintenance option but needs regular painting and must be installed by a professional.
You can also choose metal siding which are used on corporate buildings, retro and metro buildings. This means that they do not let dents appear in the buildings and are long-lasting.
Lastly, masonry sidings are both diverse in comprising stone and brick sidings and are known for their durability, cost-effectiveness and reliability. Masonry sidings are made of fiber, asbestos, cement and asphalt, making them weather-resistant for long periods.

How can sidings be used?

Siding repair is necessary and most frequently done around windows and doors, where sidings and chimney meet, near ground level, below the eaves, at the holes made for vents and pipes to be installed, etc. These areas are not immediately noticeable, so siding repair is ignored until it ends up in peeling paint, cracked masonry and nails that jut out. When these meet the eye, people are generally ready for siding repair.
