Expert Siding Repair Across Essex County

Damaged siding is more than a cosmetic issue. Cracks, holes, and loose panels allow moisture behind your home's exterior envelope, where it can cause wood rot, mold growth, insect infestation, and structural deterioration that is expensive to remediate. R&E Roofing's siding repair services address damage quickly and precisely, restoring both the appearance and protective function of your home's exterior.

Essex County homes commonly suffer siding damage from several sources: wind-driven debris during storms, impact from lawn equipment and errant baseballs, woodpecker activity on wood and certain synthetic sidings, and simple aging and UV degradation that causes vinyl to become brittle and crack. Freeze-thaw cycles create expansion stresses that pull nails and open gaps at joints, while prolonged moisture exposure beneath loose panels leads to hidden damage in the sheathing and framing.

Our repair process starts with a thorough assessment that checks not just the visible damage but also the condition of the sheathing, moisture barrier, and insulation behind the damaged area. Addressing hidden damage during repair prevents recurring problems and avoids the costly surprise of discovering rot during a future renovation.

We maintain relationships with all major siding manufacturers and stock common profiles and colors for fast turnaround. For older homes with discontinued siding styles, we source matches through specialty suppliers and salvage networks. When a perfect match is not possible, we strategically repair using panels from less visible areas and install new material in those hidden locations, ensuring the repaired section blends seamlessly with the existing exterior.

Our Siding Repair Process

1

Damage Assessment

We inspect the damaged area and surrounding siding to assess the full extent of damage, including any hidden moisture or structural issues behind the panels.

2

Material Matching

We identify your existing siding profile, color, and manufacturer, then source matching materials. For discontinued products, we use specialty suppliers or strategic panel swapping.

3

Underlying Repair

If moisture has reached the sheathing or framing, we repair or replace damaged structural components and install new moisture barrier material before siding goes back on.

4

Panel Installation

Replacement panels are cut and installed to match the existing coursing, overlap, and reveal dimensions, with proper fastening for wind resistance.

5

Sealing & Finishing

All joints and edges are sealed, caulk is applied at transitions, and the repair area is inspected to ensure it blends with the surrounding siding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding Repair

How quickly can you repair storm-damaged siding?

For storm damage, we prioritize getting your home sealed against further water intrusion within 24-48 hours. Permanent color-matched repairs follow as materials become available, typically within 1-2 weeks depending on the siding type.

Is it better to repair or replace my siding?

If damage affects less than 20-30% of your siding and the rest is in good condition, repair is typically the smarter choice. When damage is widespread, color has faded significantly, or the siding is over 20 years old, full replacement provides better long-term value.

Can you fix siding that is pulling away from the house?

Yes. Siding pulling away usually indicates fastener failure, warped panels, or underlying rot. We identify and address the root cause, replace any compromised materials, and refasten or replace panels to restore a tight, secure fit.

Will repaired sections match my existing siding?

We go to great lengths to match existing siding, but UV exposure changes colors over time. For the closest match, we sometimes relocate existing panels from less visible areas (like a back wall) to the repair location and install new matching panels in the hidden area.

Do you repair all types of siding?

Yes, we repair vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, natural wood (cedar, redwood), aluminum, and stucco siding. Each material requires different techniques and tools, and our team is experienced with all common siding types found in Essex County.
