Siding Repair Boulder, CO

STRUCTURAL OR MAJOR DAMAGE

Suppose there is extensive and widespread damage to your siding due to precipitation and weather aftermath, including big fractures or gaping holes. In that case, our expert handyman has to exert more muscle by completely getting rid of the damaged section and installing a brand-new panel. At times, it’s more cost-effective to remove the damaged areas and replace them with new panels instead of caulking up cracks or holes. Sometimes replacing your siding over repairing siding can also remedy other underlying problems like moisture damage and wood rot, which can result in leakages if not fixed.

MINOR REPAIRS

Regardless of whether your home has a previous owner or is newly built, the cladding system would contain small gaps between the siding's panels, which were sealed with caulk. Your house’s cladding is the covering attached to the exterior of a house that acts as a waterproof barrier, usually made of timber, metal, or fiber cement. The caulk only lasts for a handful of years before it begins to decay and needs to be replaced. A Boulder handyman can recaulk any small hairline cracks, fractures, and holes. Plus, any siding panels that have slid off and are sagging from your house can also be remounted.

COSMETIC OR RESTORATION REPAIRS

Other times you may not be dealing with actual physical damage but something more aesthetic in appearance from faded color from direct sunlight exposure, or you may have damp patches on your wallboards due to water streaks on your home’s exterior due to excessive moisture damage. Aside from being unappealing to look at siding repair, Boulder, CO clients will discover it is needed to give their siding a refurbished look. Our trained handyman can perform a touch-up service by adding a fresh layer of paint or stain to preserve the siding’s material and to prevent wood rot or discolored rust. While we’re at it, we will do a quick power washing surface to scrub off any sludge stuck to the outside of your house, leaving your siding clean and clean.

TYPES OF SIDING MATERIAL WE HANDLE

Vinyl: Plain and simple, vinyl siding is one of the most popular choices for Boulder homeowners, and it makes sense, given its affordability and versatility. Vinyl is a quality exterior material that is easy to install and is low maintenance. The only downside is that it doesn't bode well under heavy amounts of pressure and is easily dented; its color can fade, and repairing siding can be difficult and require the replacement of entire panels. Plus, it doesn’t reduce your eco-footprint as it doesn’t biodegrade in the landfill once tossed away.

Metal: metal siding is uncommon for residential properties but is usual for commercial ones as it’s a durable and robust material to shield exterior walls from damage. However, batten metal siding is becoming more common for modern Boulder homeowners as it offers a contemporary exterior design with its wider and flatter panels. Metal siding is made of either steel or aluminum. Both can withstand fluctuating temperatures being fire-resistant materials, can repel insects, and are mostly hands-off and low maintenance. The panels are recyclable, so it’s a great option if you’re into living an eco-friendly lifestyle. But be aware that it does require some upkeep, especially for cleaning off dirt and debris. If you outright ignore this, you can expect discolored rust to crop up and result in corrosion. Sooner or later, you’ll need a siding repair. Boulder, CO residents can ask for pressure or power washing service at least once per year to avoid this outcome.

Wood: Although wood siding is fairly uncommon these days, given the amount of maintenance required. Nonetheless, it still retains a rustic and natural appeal, allowing for a pleasant house exterior. For a siding repair in Boulder, CO homeowners can expect us to make adjustments to either cedar or redwood. Wood is inexpensive, easy to repair, and can be painted in a diverse palette of colors. Plus, it boosts your eco-conscious lifestyle. But don’t be fooled by its cheaper upfront installation cost, as wood does require more frequent maintenance and repairs. Plus it offers no insulation given that it’s more susceptible to water and moisture damage and so requires regular coats of paint and weather-stripping at least every few years.

Fiber Cement: This is yet another durable and low-maintenance material known for its amazing strength and sturdiness. Similar to metal, it can easily withstand fluctuating temperatures and is fire-resistant, doesn’t warp or rot, can expel pests and insects, and isn’t vulnerable to mold and mildew growth. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's not the best option for energy efficiency as it's not a good insulator, nor is it an environmentally-friendly product. It also doesn’t bode well in moisture-prone environments, so frequently repairing siding through a siding repair, Boulder, CO property owners should know, may just be the norm.
