Union has more than 20,000 housing units, and many of its homes have been expanded over time with additions and second stories. Every expansion creates a seam where new siding meets old, and those seams are where water and wind find their way in. When we repair siding in Union, we look carefully at those transitions as well as the obvious damage.

Siding Repair Services for Union Homes

Our siding repair company handles every part of the wall cladding system:

Cracked, broken, or missing panel and board replacement
Re-hanging and re-locking loose siding courses
J-channel replacement around windows, doors, dryer vents, and hose bibs
Inside and outside corner post repair
Trim repair at windows, doors, frieze boards, and rakes
Soffit and fascia repair
Weather-resistive barrier and flashing repair behind damaged siding

A good repair starts with the cause. We check the courses around the damage, the trim and flashing nearby, and the roof edge and gutters above before deciding what needs to be done.

Additions, Second Stories, and Siding Transitions

Where homes have been expanded, leaks often start at the joints between new and old sections. On the siding side of things, a few details deserve attention:

Roof-to-wall intersections: when a second story rises above a first-floor roof, or an addition roof meets the original house, step flashing and a kick-out diverter should keep roof water out of the wall.
Mismatched siding: an addition may have been sided in a different material, profile, or color. That is fine as long as the transition between them is trimmed and flashed correctly.
House wrap continuity: the weather-resistive barrier on the addition should lap properly over or into the barrier on the original wall. Gaps here let water in.
Low-slope roofs over additions: the siding above a low-slope roof needs proper clearance so it does not sit in water.

If you have stains or soft spots near the junction of an addition, the transition is a good place to start looking.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl panels lock together along their bottom edge and hang from nails in slotted holes along the top. To repair one, we use a zip tool to unlock the course above, remove the nails, slide out the damaged panel, and fasten a new one in place. The rest of the wall stays undisturbed.

We also fix fastening problems. Vinyl expands and contracts with temperature, so nails must be left slightly loose in their slots. Panels nailed tight cannot move and will ripple on warm days; panels that are not fully locked will unhook in wind.

Expect an honest conversation about color. Vinyl fades in the sun, and some profiles and colors have been discontinued. A new panel may look slightly different from the surrounding siding. We look for the closest match and discuss options, such as moving original panels from a less visible wall, during your estimate.

Other Siding Types We Repair

Fiber cement: heavy boards that resist rot but can crack from impact or settling. We replace damaged boards, treat joints correctly, and paint to blend.

Wood and cedar: clapboards and shingles can split, cup, or rot where water lingers. We replace damaged pieces and track down why moisture collected there.

Aluminum: dents and loose panels are common on older homes. We replace damaged sections, though matching older profiles can be a challenge.

Siding Problems at a Glance (General Homeowner Information)

This is general information to help you describe what you see. We confirm the cause on site.

Loose: movement, rattling, or gaps at the bottom lock
Cracked: splits from impact, cold-weather brittleness, or age
Warped or buckled: waves, ripples, or humps along a wall
Missing: exposed house wrap or sheathing
Trim and corners: loose corner posts, split J-channel, separated window trim

Siding That Ages All at Once

In neighborhoods where homes were built around the same time, exterior materials often reach the end of their life together. If you see neighbors on your street replacing siding, it is worth looking closely at yours for brittleness, widespread fading, or panels that crack easily. That does not automatically mean your siding needs replacement, but it is a good prompt for a closer look.

Storm and Wind Damage

Strong winds from summer thunderstorms and nor’easters can lift a loose panel and tear it off, sometimes taking neighboring courses with it. Corners, gable ends, and second-story walls take the most wind. Falling limbs and blown debris crack panels and dent trim.

After a storm:

Walk around your home and look from the ground
Note missing, cracked, or hanging pieces
Photograph the damage before anything is moved
Stay off ladders

If you file an insurance claim, your insurer decides what is covered. We can document the damage and give you a written estimate for the storm damaged siding repair.

Moisture Intrusion

Siding is not a waterproof shell. Some water always gets behind it, and the weather-resistive barrier (WRB) and flashing are there to drain it out. Common reasons water gets trapped include:

Missing kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall intersections
Overflowing or leaking gutters
Poorly flashed windows and doors
Gaps in house wrap, especially where additions meet the original house
Cracked or missing siding letting rain in directly

Look for stains, peeling paint, swollen trim, and damp spots inside near exterior walls. Since we also handle roofing and gutters, we trace the water from the roof edge down. See our Union Township gutter cleaning page for more.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim Repair

Soffit and fascia close in the roof overhang and support the gutters. Damaged soffit can let pests into the attic, and rotted fascia can let gutters sag. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim, and check whether the gutters or roof edge contributed.

Repair Versus Replacement

Repair is usually the right answer when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Siding replacement is worth considering when:

Damage is spread across several walls
Siding is brittle or keeps coming loose
Moisture damage appears behind siding in multiple areas
Matching panels are unavailable and the mismatch would be significant
You want to unify the look of an expanded home

We do not decide from a photo. During a free siding estimate in Union, we look at the siding and the wall behind damaged areas and explain which approach makes more sense.

Siding Installation and Full Replacement

New siding installation begins with removing the old siding and inspecting the sheathing, repairing it where needed. We install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, and roof-to-wall intersections, and fasten the new siding with correct spacing for expansion and contraction. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and review product, profile, and color options with you during the estimate. On expanded homes, re-siding is a chance to bring the addition and original house together under one consistent exterior.

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

Seasonal Siding Care in Union

Spring: check every wall after winter for cracks and loose panels.
Summer: watch sunny walls for new ripples, and keep grills away from vinyl.
Fall: clean gutters before leaves pile up.
Winter: avoid impacts on cold vinyl and keep snow piles off the siding.

All checks should be done from the ground. Leave ladders and upper walls to a professional.

When to Call a Siding Contractor

Rattling or flapping in wind
Waves or bulges across a wall
Stains near the joint between an addition and the original house
Soft or peeling trim

Water is getting in where my addition meets the house. Can you fix it?

Yes. We check the flashing, house wrap, and trim at the transition and repair the siding and flashing as needed.

My neighbors are all re-siding. Does that mean I need to?

Not necessarily. It is a good reason to have your siding looked at, but many homes need only targeted repairs.

Can you make my addition’s siding match the original house?

We can repair each section, or discuss re-siding to unify the exterior. Exact matches to faded or discontinued siding are not always possible.

Do you repair soffit and fascia on older homes?

Yes. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim, and we look at whether gutters or the roof edge are sending water where it should not go, so the new material is not damaged the same way.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. Siding estimates are free for repairs, storm damage, and replacement.
