What We Don’t Do
“Quick-Fix” Siding Repairs
Many contractors opt for superficial repairs, concealing deeper issues instead of solving them. On top of that, making repairs to any siding without addressing the root cause is like lighting your money on fire.
We believe in thorough inspections and lasting repairs, not second-rate band-aids that barely stick.
“Unpermitted” Siding Replacements
Permits protect homeowners by ensuring contractors are properly educated and licensed. Avoiding permits suggests a lack of proper education which hints at a lack of proper licensing.
Permitting our projects is how we ensure everything is done correctly and up to code so you’ll be sure to have the lasting results you expect.
Endless Project Timelines
It's not uncommon for contractors to overpromise and underdeliver, especially regarding timelines. We focus on realistic scheduling and clear communication, guaranteeing a solid project focused on finishing the job we’ve been hired to do.
Our philosophy? Efficiency means excellence. We deliver high-quality siding projects within days, not weeks.

Understanding Your Siding Choices
The siding you choose impacts both the appearance and protection of your home. Let’s delve into the most common types found in the Birmingham, Mountain Brook area:
Fiber Cement Siding (AKA Hardie Siding)
Pros:
Fiber cement siding is favored for its robustness and longevity, typically lasting over 50 years.
Its composition of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers makes it fire-resistant, termite-proof, and unaffected by rot, offering homeowners peace of mind.
Its a very durable material and can stand up to hail storms, hot bbq grills, and even kids throwing balls against the house.
The wide array of styles, including lap, vertical, and shingle siding, plus the option to paint in any desired color, provide versatility in achieving the perfect aesthetic. It’s an eco-friendly option, often containing recycled materials.
Cons:
It’s on the pricier side compared to vinyl or wood siding. In addition to installation, it needs to be painted which can be done right away.
As we all know, paint doesn't last forever so it will need to be repainted every 25 to 30 years. Only using the highest quality paint will help you reduce the number of times you'll need to paint your siding.
Despite these cons, its benefits make it a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking a long-lasting, protective, and customizable siding solution.
Metal Cladding
Pros:
Metal cladding offers a modern, sleek aesthetic with a wide range of design options, including various colors, textures, and profiles.
It’s highly durable, resistant to fire, pests, and rot, and can last up to 40 years or more with minimal maintenance.
Additionally, metal cladding is eco-friendly, often made from recycled materials and is entirely recyclable at the end of its life.
Cons:
Metal cladding can be more expensive compared to other siding options and installation requires specialized knowledge and tools, which will add to labor costs.
While it is resistant to many elements, it can be prone to scratching and corrosion if not properly maintained or if low-quality materials are used, and it is very easy to dent. Kids can be particularly tough on metal cladding.
Noise can also be an issue during rain or hailstorms. The potential for thermal expansion and contraction with temperature fluctuations can affect its performance and durability.
Metal cladding offers a durable, eco-friendly, and versatile option for homeowners, but potential drawbacks such as cost, installation complexity, and maintenance should be considered.
Wood Siding
Pros:
Wood siding is a popular choice for homeowners seeking a classic, natural aesthetic.
It provides a range of styles including clapboard, shingles, and board-and-batten, and can be easily painted or stained to suit any preference.
Being eco-friendly and sourced from sustainable forests, it’s a great option for those conscious of their environmental impact.
In terms of affordability, wood siding is generally more cost-effective upfront compared to some other materials like fiber cement or metal cladding.
Cons:
It requires regular maintenance such as painting, staining, and sealing to prevent damage from moisture, insects, and rot.
Failure to properly maintain wood siding can result in warping, cracking, and decay.
Additionally, wood is not fire-resistant and may not be suitable in fire-prone areas.
Despite its beauty and initial affordability, potential buyers should consider the long-term maintenance costs and potential for damage when choosing wood siding.
Vinyl Siding
Pros:
Vinyl siding is a popular choice for homeowners due to its affordability, low maintenance, and wide range of colors and styles. Unlike wood or metal siding, vinyl doesn’t need to be painted or stained which is where the cost savings comes in.
It's also resistant to rot and pests, lightweight, and can be installed over existing siding making it super fast easy to install in Homewood, AL.
Cons:
One major drawback of vinyl siding is that it’s often installed improperly leading to significant water damage over time. If not installed with proper repairs to any existing damaged siding and quality moisture barriers, water can become trapped behind the siding, causing mold, mildew, rot, and total pest infestations.
Improperly installation can negate the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl siding, as homeowners will need to address these moisture-related issues to prevent further damage. This will often require full removal and replacement of vinyl siding as variations are often discontinued and no longer available.
Additionally, while vinyl siding is relatively durable, it can crack or break if struck by a heavy object.
It can also melt under extreme temperatures. Just placing the bbq grill too close to the house will result in an entire wall melting.
Additionally, a neighbor's window can concentrate the sun light, like a magnifying glass, and melt sections of your vinyl siding.
In summary, while vinyl siding offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance option for homeowners, it’s crucial to ensure it’s installed properly to avoid potential water damage and other issues.
Masonite Siding
Pros:
Masonite Siding Is Completely Discontinued. And That A Good Thing...
Masonite siding, also known as hardboard siding, was once a popular choice for homeowners due to its wood-like appearance and affordability.
However, Masonite siding has significant drawbacks that ultimately led to its discontinuation.
Cons:
The primary disadvantage of Masonite siding is its susceptibility to moisture damage.
The material can swell, rot, and deteriorate when exposed to water, leading to costly repairs or replacement.
Homeowners often experienced problems with the siding warping, buckling, or developing mold and mildew.
Additionally, Masonite siding required regular maintenance, such as painting and caulking, to protect it from moisture and extend its lifespan.
These issues with Masonite siding led to numerous class-action lawsuits and eventually resulted in the discontinuation of the product.
Now, with the knowledge of its shortcomings and unavailability, homeowners can make more informed decisions and opt for more reliable and durable siding materials that better meet their needs.

FAQs on Siding Repair and Replacement in Pelham
Why is siding repair essential?
Regular maintenance and timely repairs protect your home from weather and pests and ensure the structure of your home remains dry and secure. Most importantly, it gives you a sense of pride when you do all you can to maintain your home's beauty.
How often should I inspect my siding?
According to the National Association of Home Builders, you should inspect your siding at least once a year and after any major weather events. Pay close to your chimney as it can be the first to become water damaged. Setting a yearly calendar event on your phone can be the best way to get automatic reminders.
How often should siding be replaced?
The need to replace your siding largely depends on if there's a significant amount of water-damage to the siding all around your house. In most cases, repairs will do the trick just fine. In other cases, replacing one wall at a time might be the better option.
