Comprehensive Exterior Services including Roofing, Siding & Gutters
Siding repair is an essential part of maintaining the integrity and appearance of your home. Whether it’s a small crack or significant wind damage, addressing issues promptly will help keep your home protected and looking great. A well-done repair can not only enhance your home’s curb appeal but also increase its overall value
Rochester Roofing will inspect the damage and assess whether it’s a small patch job or if more extensive repairs (or even replacement) are needed. We look for issues like mold, water damage, or pest infestations that might need addressing before repairing the siding.
If a section of siding needs to be replaced, we will use specialized color matching tools to find the best match for your current siding. If the siding has faded over time, we may recommend ordering replacement panels and installing them in a way that minimizes visible differences between old and new sections.
Once the materials are ready, Rochester Roofing will carefully remove the damaged panels without disturbing the rest of the siding. This might involve prying off panels or cutting them to ensure a clean removal.
When we install new panels, we ensure they lock in place with the existing siding. In the case of minor repairs, we might use caulking or patching to fill in gaps and cracks.
After installation, we will seal any seams, edges, or gaps to prevent water infiltration. This step is crucial to ensure that the siding stays weather-tight and doesn’t allow moisture to penetrate your home’s exterior.
Once the repairs are completed, Rochester Roofing will perform a final inspection to ensure that the repair area is weatherproof and secure.
Yes, siding damage caused by hail and wind is typically covered by homeowners’ insurance. However, damage from wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. We can work with your insurance provider before starting any repairs to confirm if you're eligible for coverage.
Rochester Roofing will either order the exact replacement panels from the manufacturer or a supplier that stocks the same product. If the exact panel color is no longer available, we may recommend replacing a larger section to ensure the new siding blends well.
For vinyl siding, we can replace the cracked panels. We make sure to match the color and texture of the existing siding. For wood siding cracks we may need to fill in with caulk or wood filler, followed by sanding and repainting. Fiber cement cracks can be patched with the appropriate cement-based filler, followed by repainting.
Vinyl siding lasts about 20 to 40 years but can degrade or require repairs due to weathering, fading, and cracking.
