Common Siding Problems We Fix
If you've noticed any of these issues on your Atlanta area home, it's time to call for repairs. Small fixes now prevent expensive problems later.
Cracks and Holes
Small cracks let water sneak behind your siding. Over time, this leads to bigger problems like rot and mold. Even tiny holes from nails or impacts should be fixed before they grow.
Warping and Buckling
When siding gets too hot or wasn't installed right, it can warp and buckle. This looks bad and creates gaps where water and bugs can get in.
Loose or Missing Panels
High winds can pull panels loose or rip them off completely. Missing siding leaves your home open to the weather and pests.
Fading and Discoloration
Years of Georgia sun can fade your siding unevenly. While this is mostly a looks issue, it can also mean the material is breaking down.
Water Damage and Rot
Water getting behind siding causes wood rot and can damage your home's structure. Look for soft spots, peeling paint, or dark stains.
Pest Damage
Woodpeckers, carpenter bees, and termites all damage siding in Georgia. These holes need quick fixes to stop more pests from moving in.

Types of Siding We Repair
No matter what type of siding your Atlanta home has, our team knows how to fix it right.
Vinyl Siding
The most common siding in metro Atlanta. It's affordable and easy to repair. We can often swap out single damaged panels without touching the rest.
Fiber Cement Siding
Brands like James Hardie are popular here because they handle humidity well. Repairs need special tools and technique to cut and install properly.
Wood Siding
Beautiful but needs more care in our humid climate. We fix rot, replace damaged boards, and can help protect against future water damage.
Aluminum Siding
Older but still found on many Atlanta homes. Dents and scratches are common. We can replace damaged sections or sometimes pop out dents.
Our Siding Repair Process
We follow the same steps on every repair job. This way, nothing gets missed and your siding gets fixed right the first time.
Free Inspection
We come out and look at the damage for free. We'll check not just the obvious problems but also look for hidden issues like rot behind the siding.
Find Matching Materials
We track down siding that matches yours as close as possible. We check manufacturer catalogs, local suppliers, and salvage sources for discontinued styles.
Careful Removal
We take off only the damaged pieces. Special tools let us remove panels without hurting the good siding around them.
Check What's Underneath
Before putting up new siding, we inspect the sheathing and wrap underneath. If there's rot or damage, we fix that first.
Install New Sections
We put in the new siding, making sure it locks properly with existing pieces. Every panel gets attached securely but with room to expand and contract.
Seal and Finish
We caulk around trim, windows, and any transitions. The goal is a watertight seal that keeps moisture out for years.
Siding Repair vs. Replacement: Which Do You Need?
Repair Makes Sense When:
- Damage is limited to a small area
- Your siding is less than 15-20 years old
- We can find matching materials
- The rest of your siding is in good shape
- Budget is tight right now
Replacement Makes Sense When:
- Damage covers multiple walls or large areas
- Your siding is more than 20 years old
- The style is discontinued and can't be matched
- You're seeing widespread rot or water damage
- You want to upgrade to a more durable material
Not sure which option fits your situation? We'll give you honest advice during your free inspection. Sometimes a repair is all you need. Other times, replacement actually saves money in the long run. We'll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your Marietta or Atlanta area home.
Common Causes of Siding Damage in Georgia
Living in metro Atlanta means your siding deals with some unique challenges. Here's what we see most often.
Severe Storms
Georgia gets strong thunderstorms, hail, and the occasional hurricane remnants. High winds throw debris and can rip siding right off your home.
Humidity and Moisture
Our humid summers create perfect conditions for mold and rot. Water vapor can get trapped behind siding and cause damage you don't see until it's serious.
Woodpeckers and Pests
Woodpeckers love to peck at siding looking for insects. Carpenter bees drill perfect round holes. Both leave damage that needs fixing.
Impact Damage
Baseballs, lawn mower rocks, fallen branches, and hail all leave their mark. One good impact can crack vinyl or dent aluminum.
Matching Your Existing Siding
One of the biggest worries homeowners have about siding repair is whether the new pieces will match the old. Nobody wants a patch of siding that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Here's how we handle matching: First, we identify exactly what type and brand of siding you have. Then we check with local suppliers and manufacturers for matching products. We can often find exact matches for siding that's still being made.
For older or discontinued siding, we get creative. Sometimes we can find leftover stock at salvage suppliers. Other times, we can pull siding from a less visible spot on your home (like behind a bush) and use it for the repair, then put the new non-matching piece where it won't be seen.
If a perfect match just isn't possible, we'll tell you upfront. We can discuss options like re-siding one whole wall or section so the color difference looks intentional rather than patchy.
