About Our Manassas Siding Repair Services
As a homeowner, you have likely encountered your fair share of issues with your siding. With plenty of trees, wind, rain, and heat, the town knows that holes, chips, cracks, and mold often happen, but what they might not know is that leaving smaller issues can lead to larger ones down the line. So, what kind of siding repair issues does our professional team handle?
Buckling and Warping
When your vinyl siding hasn’t been installed correctly, it will buckle and warp. Vinyl is a common material for siding in Northern Virginia, so this particular issue is what a resident often experiences. Since vinyl is made of plastic, it will expand when the outside air temperature warms up. In the winter, it will contract. Fasteners need to be used to counterbalance, but if they are attached too tightly, the material can’t move, and thus, warping occurs. Our expert team will need to reinstall the fasteners to stop this from happening.
Cracks, Dents and Chips
No matter if you have cedar siding or fiber cement siding, it can become damaged. With enough stress from harsh weather or unforeseen events such as a misdirected baseball, even aluminum siding will dent. Cracks, dents, and chips are considered small repair needs and can be fixed easily. If they are not addressed right away, the issue will continue to worsen.
Moisture Damage
The way that siding is installed should safeguard your Manassas home from moisture damage, but one small crack or misalignment could let some in. Water damage can wreak havoc on your home’s walls and foundation, causing structural damage and mold too. The tricky part is that moisture damage is hard to spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Our qualified siding professionals do. Schedule an inspection to ensure your home is protected from this sneaky intruder.
Wood Rot
Wood rot is often the result of water damage, but it can also be caused by pests. To make sure your wood siding does not have rot, inspect it at least twice per year. If you think your wood siding has begun to rot, be on the lookout for the following signs:
- Musty smell
- Crumbly wood
- Gray strands on the wood
- Mold and mushrooms
- Decaying wood
- Orange/brown mold spore dust
Infestation
Do you know what “bee space” is? A honey bee only needs ⅜” to access an area. The framed wall behind your siding is a great space for honey bees to build their new hive. Yes, this could provide you direct access to local honey, but it is not something that most homeowners think of when they see those small holes in their siding. If you start seeing small bees entering and exiting one or more of these holes in your siding, it is possible that a colony of honey bees has decided to make the wall of your house their new home. If you would prefer that these honey bees relocate to another safe home, contact the professionals at Mr. Handyman of Northern Virginia - Arlington to Haymarket. Did you know the owner is a beekeeper? Not only will the service professionals repair the siding to prevent future scouts to determine your wall would make a great home, the beekeeper will safely remove the honeybees and their hive and relocate them so they will continue to flourish and pollinate the local vegetation.
