Older Painted Siding and Trim

On homes that have stood for a long time, wood siding and trim may carry many coats of paint, some of it very old. A few practical points:

Old paint may contain lead. Paint on older homes can include lead-based layers. Work that sands, scrapes, or cuts painted surfaces should follow lead-safe work practices to contain dust and debris. It is reasonable to ask any contractor how they handle this.
Paint can hide rot. Thick paint can hold soft wood together. Pressing gently on sills and the bottoms of corner boards can reveal problems.
Covered siding. On some older homes, newer siding has been installed over original painted wood. That affects how repairs are made and what is found when a wall is opened.
Repairs before repainting. Replacing rotted boards and fixing the water source before repainting keeps new paint from failing early.

Two-Family Homes and Rentals

For owners of two-family homes and rentals, siding problems mean damage to the building and disruption for tenants. We schedule around occupants, plan work so entrances stay usable, and explain repair options clearly. On two-family homes, separate entrances, exterior stairs, and multiple utility connections add details that need attention when siding is repaired.

Board Sheathing and Century-Old Walls

Homes that have been re-roofed and re-sided several times over a century often have board sheathing. When we open a damaged section, we check the boards for rot, replace damaged ones, and install or patch a weather-resistive barrier so the wall sheds water properly. Fasteners must hit solid boards.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl siding panels interlock and hang from nails driven loosely through slotted holes, so they can move with temperature. A damaged panel can be unlocked from the course below, removed, and replaced with a new one locked into place. We also correct buckling from tight nailing.

Vinyl fades and colors and profiles get discontinued, so a new panel may not exactly match. We find the closest match and can move an original panel from a side wall to the more visible repair.

Fiber Cement, Wood and Cedar, Aluminum

Fiber cement resists rot and holds paint, but can crack from impact. We replace damaged boards and paint to blend.

Wood and cedar siding splits, cups, and rots where moisture lingers. We replace damaged pieces and fix the cause.

Aluminum dents and chalks. We replace damaged panels when a matching profile can be found and tell you upfront if not.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

Loose: nails that have rusted or missed solid boards, or vinyl that has unlocked.
Cracked or split: impacts, cold-weather brittleness, or old wood that has dried out.
Warped: vinyl nailed too tight, or wood cupping from moisture.
Missing: wind lifting a weak piece.
Trim and corners: rotted trim, split J-channel, loose corner posts.

Cover missing siding quickly to protect the wall and the units behind it.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Thunderstorms and nor’easters along the Delaware can strip siding at corners and gables. After a storm, walk around the building, including side yards, look from the ground, photograph damage before cleanup, and keep any pieces that came off.

If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides coverage. We can document the damage and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Intrusion

Some water always gets past siding, and the weather-resistive barrier and flashing beneath carry it out. On older homes, those layers may be worn or missing. Common sources:

Porch roof and roof-to-wall joints without proper flashing
Gutters clogged or overflowing
Windows without proper head flashing
Exterior stairs and landings meeting the wall
Cracked or missing siding

Signs include streaks, peeling paint, swollen trim, soft spots, and stains or musty smells inside. We also handle gutters and can fix drainage at the same time. See our Phillipsburg gutter cleaning page.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Fascia carries the gutters; soffit encloses the overhang. On older homes both are usually wood and rot where gutters overflow. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check gutters and the roof edge for the cause.

Repair or Siding Replacement?

Repair is usually right when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Replacement is worth considering when damage spans several walls, rot or brittleness is widespread, moisture damage is extensive, or matching is not possible. 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 our recommendation.

Siding Installation

For a full siding installation, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, and roof-to-wall joints, and install new siding with correct fastening and room for expansion and contraction. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and review product, profile, and color options at the estimate.

Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Phillipsburg construction office before major exterior work, and we can discuss it during your estimate.

Working in a Densely Built Town

With homes close together, side walls can be hard to see and reach. We place ladders and staging carefully, protect neighboring homes and fences, keep sidewalks passable, and clean up daily. Downspouts on narrow side yards should discharge where water flows away from both houses.

Homes Near Pohatcong Mountain

Homes on the higher ground toward Pohatcong Mountain take more wind than those in the lower parts of town. Corners and gable ends on exposed walls are where siding comes loose first, and limbs from trees on wooded lots can crack panels during storms. On those homes, we check fastening on surrounding panels whenever we repair a damaged area, and we look at gutters for leaves and debris that cause overflow onto the walls below.

Exterior Stairs and Landings

Two-family homes often have exterior stairs and landings for a second entrance. Where stair stringers or landings attach to the house, flashing should protect the wall, and siding should stop above landing surfaces so it is not sitting in water or snow. Rot at these attachment points can affect both the siding and the stairs, so it is worth checking when siding near them is repaired.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: walk every side, including narrow side yards.
Summer: touch up bare wood trim.
Fall: clean gutters and check downspouts.
Winter: keep shoveled snow away from walls.

Inspect from the ground, and call a professional for anything high.

Local Considerations in Phillipsburg

Phillipsburg has about 15,200 residents on just over three square miles along the Delaware River across from Easton, Pennsylvania. It became a transportation hub after the Morris Canal reached the river in 1831, and Ingersoll Rand’s Ingersoll-Sergeant factory operated here from 1903 to 2000. Three Delaware River bridges connect the town with Pennsylvania, and Pohatcong Mountain extends northeast from town. Phillipsburg borders Lopatcong and Pohatcong. Century-old homes, two-family houses and rentals, and dense lots are the main factors for siding here.
