Cracked, warped, faded, or storm-beaten, siding problems are moisture problems waiting on a schedule. We repair or replace it right, match what you have, and photograph what we find behind it.
Siding rarely fails all at once. It talks first, and any one of these is worth a free twenty-minute look.
Every crack is a doorway, and lowcountry rain doesn't knock. Water behind siding works quietly for years before you see it inside.
Boards that wave or lift are telling you moisture already got behind them, or the original install was done in a hurry.
Press near the bottom edges. If it gives like cardboard, there's rot underway, and the siding is the symptom, not the problem.
Coastal sun bleaches south-facing walls first. Wipe a hand across it, and if it comes back powdery, the surface is breaking down.
Strange but true: failing siding lets moisture into the wall, and it shows up as bubbling paint or wallpaper inside the house.
Gaps and failed siding leak conditioned air all summer. If the bill creeps and the AC runs harder, the walls might be why.
Those are the three levels, the price climbs left to right, and our job is to tell you truthfully which one you're at, not the one with the biggest invoice.
A cracked board, a woodpecker's project, storm damage on one wall. We fix the spot, match the material and color, and you get years more life for repair money.
When one side of the house has taken the sun and rain harder than the rest, we re-side the walls that need it and blend them to the ones that don't.
When the siding is done everywhere, doing it once and doing it whole is the honest money. New raincoat, new curb appeal, decades of quiet.
The right answer depends on your house, your budget, and how long you're staying. Here's the plain version of the conversation we'll have in person.
| Vinyl | Fiber Cement | Wood | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up-front cost | Lowest | Middle | Highest |
| Coastal durability | Good, can crack in impact | Excellent, shrugs at salt air | Good with real upkeep |
| Maintenance | Nearly none | Repaint every couple decades | Regular paint & sealing |
| The look | Clean, practical | Crisp, holds paint beautifully | The real thing, ages with character |
| Best for | Budget-smart refresh | The long stay | Historic & character homes |
Anyone can show you a pretty after picture. When the old siding comes off, we photograph what's underneath: the sheathing, the wrap, any rot we find and what fixing it costs, before it's sealed away for the next twenty years. You'll know your walls are dry back there because you'll have seen them. Same promise as our roofs, same reason: it keeps us honest, and it means you never have to take the most important part on faith.
Repairs are real work and we're glad to do them. One wall, one corner, even one board. The whole-house conversation only happens when the siding is genuinely failing everywhere, and if it is, we'll show you why in photos rather than asking you to take our word.
Usually yes, and it's the difference between a repair and a patch. We match profile, texture, and color as closely as the material allows, and on sun-faded walls we'll talk honestly about whether the new section should match the original color or the faded one.
It depends on the material, the size of the job, and what we find underneath, which is the honest variable in every siding quote. What you'll always get from us is a written number before work starts, and the number holds.
You see a photo of it, hear the price to fix it, and decide, before we touch it. Rot found mid-job is where other contractors' invoices grow quietly. Ours grows only with your eyes open, and honestly, catching it is the best thing that can happen, because it was there either way.
Fiber cement is the coastal workhorse: it doesn't rot, salt air doesn't bother it, and it holds paint beautifully. Vinyl does well too and costs less up front. Wood is the beauty of the three and asks the most of you in upkeep. The right answer depends on your house and your plans, which is a porch conversation, not a website one.
Often yes for sudden wind and impact damage. We document the damage in photos, put the scope in writing, and you file with facts. If the storm hit more than the siding, our storm damage page walks you through the whole first day.
We'll tell you which level you're at, repair, section, or the whole raincoat, and what it costs in writing.
You reach out. A photo of the worst wall helps, but isn't required.
We walk it together. Every side of the house, and you hear the honest level.
Written number, documented work. Including photos of what was behind the old siding.
