Historic Buildings, Practical Repairs

The Mount Holly Historic District, a 260-acre district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, includes many buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Homes of that age have usually been repaired and updated many times, and their exteriors may combine original wood, later siding, brick or stone sections, and additions from various decades.

Our approach is to repair what can be repaired and replace only what has failed. We match clapboard exposures and trim profiles as closely as practical, prime and paint new wood as part of the agreed scope, and pay close attention to flashing, because on older homes water is almost always the root cause of siding damage.

Where Siding Meets Brick or Stone

Older houses often mix materials: a brick front with sided walls behind, a stone foundation below frame walls, or a masonry chimney running up a sided wall. Each of those transitions is a place where water can get behind the siding. Where siding meets masonry, trim and flashing need to direct water outward rather than letting it run into the joint. Where a chimney passes through a wall or roof line, the flashing around it must tie in with the siding and the barrier. Mortar joints that have opened up can also let water reach the framing behind nearby siding.

When we repair siding near masonry, we look at these joints closely. Because we also repair chimneys, we can address chimney flashing and related issues at the same time. Our Mount Holly chimney repair page covers that side of the work.

Siding Repair Services

  • Replacing split, cupped, or rotted clapboards and shingles
  • Repairing and matching trim, casings, and corner boards

  • Aluminum siding repair
  • Soffit, fascia, and cornice repair
  • Flashing at masonry transitions, chimneys, and roof-to-wall joints
  • Siding replacement and new siding installation

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl panels hook onto the course below and are nailed loosely through slotted holes so they can expand and contract. A damaged panel can usually be unlocked and replaced on its own, and a loose panel can often be reseated. Rippled walls usually need courses re-hung with looser fastening.

Vinyl fades in sunlight, and colors and profiles get discontinued, so a replacement panel may not match a weathered wall exactly. We show you the closest available match and discuss options, such as moving original panels from a hidden wall to a visible one.

Wood, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar siding can be repaired piece by piece. We replace failed boards, prime new wood on all sides, and paint to blend. If paint fails repeatedly in one spot, we look for moisture from behind or above.

Fiber cement resists rot but can crack from impact or at joints. We replace damaged boards, seal joints as required, and repaint.

Aluminum dents easily and its finish chalks. We replace damaged sections and tell you if an older profile is hard to match.

Recognizing Siding Problems

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

  • Loose, split, or missing boards or panels
  • Peeling paint that returns in the same places
  • Soft wood at sills, corner boards, and the bottom course
  • Gaps where siding meets brick, stone, or a chimney
  • Stains below roof-to-wall joints
  • Waves on sunny vinyl walls

Storm and Wind Damage

Summer thunderstorms and nor’easters can lift loose siding and peel it from corners and gables, and limbs from mature trees crack panels and damage trim. After a storm, check your walls from the ground and photograph damage before cleanup. Keep pieces that came off; on older homes, they help with matching. Do not climb ladders or go onto the roof.

If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides what is covered. We can document what we find, explain the repairs needed to protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Behind Siding

Older walls may have little or no weather-resistive barrier, so siding, paint, and flashing do much of the work of keeping water out. We check:

  1. Flashing at masonry transitions and chimneys
  2. Kick-out flashing where roofs meet walls
  3. Window and door heads and sills
  4. Gutters that overflow onto walls
  5. The bottom course and its clearance above soil and walks

Because we also repair roofs and gutters, we can fix the source. Our Mount Holly gutter cleaning page explains how gutters protect walls.

Soffit, Fascia, and Cornice Trim

Older homes often have cornices and decorative trim along the roof edge. Fascia carries gutters; soffit closes the eaves. When these fail, water and animals get in. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim, matching profiles as closely as practical. Our Mount Holly roofing page covers roof repairs.

Repair or Replace?

On older homes, careful repair is often the right first step. Replacement deserves discussion when:

  • Rot or damage covers several walls
  • Sheathing behind the siding is damaged over large areas
  • Later vinyl or aluminum cannot be matched and is failing
  • Repairs keep failing despite fixing water sources

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate, we look at the siding and the wall behind damaged areas and explain the options.

Siding Installation and Replacement

On a full replacement, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, masonry transitions, and roof-to-wall joints, and install new siding with appropriate fastening. We install wood and cedar, fiber cement, vinyl, and aluminum, and review product, profile, and color options with you during the estimate.

Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Mount Holly construction office, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Seasonal Care

  • Spring: look for split boards and peeling paint after winter.
  • Summer: keep shrubs trimmed so walls can dry.
  • Fall: clean gutters after leaves drop.
  • Winter: keep snow piles off the bottom course.

Inspect from the ground only. For upper walls, call a professional.

Paint and Older Wood

Paint is part of the weather protection on wood siding. When it cracks and peels, bare wood takes on water, swells, and eventually splits or rots. Homes built before 1978 may also have lead-based paint in their older layers; if a repair will disturb painted surfaces, we discuss how the work area will be contained and cleaned up. Keeping paint in good condition, resealing joints at trim where appropriate, and fixing water sources are the simplest ways to make wood siding last.

Along the Rancocas Creek

The Rancocas Creek runs through Mount Holly and was dammed long ago to feed a millrace through town. Homes near the creek and the old raceway sit closer to water and often under mature trees, which means walls that stay damp longer, more mildew on shaded sides, and gutters that fill with leaves each fall. Keeping gutters clear, trimming back branches, and making sure downspouts carry water away from the foundation help siding in these settings last longer.

Planning Work on an Older Home

Older homes reward planning. Before work starts, we discuss what may be found behind the siding, such as older layers, missing barrier, or improvised flashing, and agree on how surprises will be handled so the project does not stall. We also talk about fixtures that need to come off and go back on, and whether nearby trim should be addressed while access is easy.

When to Call

  • Boards or panels are loose, split, or missing
  • Paint keeps peeling in the same spots
  • Trim or sills are soft
  • Gaps open where siding meets masonry
  • Gutters are pulling away
