When it is time for a Vancouver siding repair service, you often have to be prepared for the worst. Any existing cracks and holes on your home’s exterior that have not been taken care of are susceptible to water intrusion, which ultimately means that you might have water damage inside your exterior cladding, potentially damaging the structural integrity of your home. When Mr. Handyman handles exterior repairs, damages are usually caused by a domino effect.
For example, if you are dealing with unsightly water stains on your exterior cladding system, it is likely due to a clogged rain gutter system. On the other hand, foundation cracks are typically caused by shifting soil or a house settlement. If you experience interior wall cracks due to this occurrence, it’s important to also examine your exterior walls. It's crucial to address any underlying issues to prevent further damage to your home.
Our team of experienced technicians can diagnose and find any underlying causes of damage and will walk you through the repair process while providing expert advice on how to prevent similar issues from occurring.

Our Approach to Home Siding Repair: Vancouver, WA
Besides a thorough inspection and determining the kind of damage we’re looking at, our Vancouver siding repair experts will complete a cleaning service that involves pressure washing or soft pressure cleaning. This is a very common type of exterior maintenance, designed to remove grime, dirt, bacteria, mildew, and other harmful pollutants from surfaces. They are the main culprits for early wear and surface damage, so the sooner it’s gone, the sooner your home can shine again.
But pressure washing is also meant for surface preparation, so your local experts have a clean area to work with. Patching jobs are generally straightforward, and we’ll use the right patching product for whatever type of material you have in place. For example, cracks and small holes in a vinyl plank can be fixed with high-quality caulk that blends in with your current siding, during your service for siding repair in Vancouver, WA. Our service technicians will make sure patching is all you need. Should the damage be more severe, you might need a panel replacement. If so, we will ensure that we remove all the nails and fasteners with utmost care before taking out the damaged panel.
The same process applies to wood panels, except that we’ll use wood filler to patch holes and cracks. Caulk is only used to cover the seams between the wooden boards. Once it has cured, you may choose from exterior painting or simply resealing or staining, and our technicians will perform any finishing touches and clean up any leftover debris, bringing an end to your service for siding repair in Vancouver, WA.
