Siding

Serving Chestertown, Stevensville, Annapolis, Bowie and 12 more Maryland communities

Siding is the layer that keeps weather out of the walls. Cracked, loose, warped or missing pieces let water and wind behind it, and damage that starts small spreads into what is underneath.

How a section of siding gets fixed depends on what is actually happening behind it, not just what it looks like from the driveway. A cracked panel over a dry wall is a different job from the same crack over a section that has been letting water in for a while, and the second one usually means opening it up before anything goes back on. Options depend on the property and are part of the conversation before any work starts.

Common questions

What are the signs that siding needs work?

Cracked, warped, loose or missing pieces, gaps at the joints and corners, soft areas underneath, and stains or peeling paint on the inside of an exterior wall all suggest siding that is no longer keeping water out.

Can damaged siding be repaired rather than replaced?

Often, yes. Localized damage is usually repairable. Where the damage is widespread or the siding has reached the end of its life, replacement is the better option, and that distinction is usually clear once we are up close rather than standing on the ground.

Do you handle trim as well?

Yes. Trim around windows, doors and corners is part of a siding project, and the edges and transitions get finished along with the rest of the exterior.

Does new siding need to match the existing exterior?

Not necessarily, though most homeowners prefer it to. A full replacement is a chance to change color or style if you want to; a partial repair on an older exterior is more likely to be limited by what siding is still available to match, which is part of what the initial look at the property settles.

What causes siding to fail in the first place?

Age plays a part, but the more common cause is a detail that let water behind the siding early on: a gap at a window or door trim, flashing that was never quite right, or moisture wicking up from ground level. Fixing the underlying cause matters as much as replacing the visible damage, or the same failure tends to come back in the same spot.

Can siding be repaired in winter?

Some materials handle cold-weather work better than others, and certain repairs need a minimum temperature to go in properly. We tell you if the season is a limiting factor for a particular job rather than starting something that will not hold.

Does storm damage to siding look different from ordinary wear?

Usually. Wind tends to crack or pull pieces loose in a pattern that follows the direction it came from, while ordinary wear shows up more evenly across a wall, especially on the side that gets the most sun and rain over time.

Is water damage behind siding always visible from outside?

No. A section can look fine on the surface while the material behind it has already been compromised, which is one reason a suspicious area is worth opening up rather than judging by appearance alone.
