Siding During Renovations

Adding a primary suite over the garage, raising a roof for a second floor, adding dormers, or building a rear family room all involve the siding. A few things help the siding part go smoothly.

Plan how new meets old

Where the addition meets the original house, the siding has to transition cleanly and shed water. Sometimes that means running new siding across an entire wall instead of stopping at the addition line, or using a trim board to create a deliberate break. Deciding this during design avoids awkward seams later.

Think about matching early

New siding on an addition will rarely match faded siding on the original house exactly. If the existing siding is aging, it may make sense to re-side the whole house along with the addition so everything matches and every wall gets new wrap and flashing. If the existing siding is in good shape, we can talk through ways to make the transition look intentional.

Get the sequence right

Framing, windows, roofing, and siding need to happen in the right order so flashing laps correctly. Step flashing has to go in with the roofing before siding covers it. Window flashing has to lap with the wall wrap before trim and siding go on. Siding installed out of order is a common cause of leaks on new additions.

Protect the existing walls

During construction, removed siding leaves the old wall exposed. Openings need to be covered properly whenever work stops so rain does not reach the sheathing.

We handle the siding portion of renovation projects and can coordinate with your builder or contractor.

Siding Before You Sell

Buyers look closely at older homes, and siding is one of the first things they see. Loose panels, cracked pieces, faded walls, rotted trim, and stains below windows all draw attention from buyers and their inspectors. Sometimes targeted repairs, such as replacing damaged panels, fixing rotted trim and sills, and correcting obvious flashing problems, address the main concerns. In other cases, a whole elevation or the whole house may be worth re-siding. We can look at the exterior and explain what a buyer’s inspector is likely to notice.

Everyday Siding Repair Services in Ridgewood

  • Replacing cracked, broken, or missing panels, clapboards, and shingles
  • Re-securing loose courses and corner posts
  • Replacing J-channel, starter strip, and window and door trim
  • Repairing soffit, fascia, and rake trim
  • Correcting flashing at windows, doors, and roof-to-wall joints
  • Checking the weather-resistive barrier behind damaged areas
  • Siding replacement and new siding installation

We look for the cause first, so the repair lasts.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Damaged vinyl panels can usually be replaced individually. We unlock the panel from the course below, remove the nails, and lock in a replacement fastened loosely so it can expand and contract. Loose panels are re-hung, and buckled sections are refastened.

On color, an honest word: vinyl fades and colors and profiles are discontinued, so a new panel may not exactly match a weathered wall. We find the closest available match and explain options, like moving original panels from a hidden wall.

Wood, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

  • Wood and cedar: we replace split or rotted pieces, match exposure, prime all sides, and paint to blend.
  • Fiber cement: cracked boards are replaced, joints flashed, and new boards painted.
  • Aluminum: dented or loose sections are replaced where profiles can be matched.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm the cause on site.

  • Loose siding: panels that rattle, bow, or have come unlocked.
  • Cracked siding: impact, age, or cold brittleness.
  • Warped siding: ripples from tight nailing or heat.
  • Missing siding: pieces torn off by wind.
  • Damaged trim: split corners, bent J-channel, rotted sills.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Strong storms can strip loose siding and send branches into walls. After a storm, walk around your home and look from the ground for missing, cracked, or hanging pieces. Photograph damage before anything is moved. Do not climb ladders to inspect high walls.

If you file an insurance claim, your insurer decides what is covered. We can document the damage, explain which repairs protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Behind Siding

Siding is a rain screen. A weather-resistive barrier and flashing behind it carry incidental water out. Problems begin when water gets in faster than it drains or dries. Common sources:

  • Missing kick-out flashing where addition roofs meet walls
  • Transitions between additions and original walls
  • Overflowing gutters
  • Windows and doors without proper flashing
  • Cracked or missing panels

Signs include stains, peeling paint, swelling, soft spots, and musty smells near an outside wall. Because we also handle roofing and gutters, we look at what is above a damaged wall. Our Ridgewood gutter cleaning page explains more.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit closes the underside of the roof overhang, and fascia carries the gutters. Rotted fascia lets gutters sag and overflow onto the siding. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and check whether the roof edge or gutters caused the damage.

Repair or Replace?

Repair usually works when damage is limited to a few pieces or one wall. Replacement is worth discussing when:

  • Several walls are damaged or faded
  • You are adding on and the old siding will not match
  • Moisture damage behind the siding is widespread
  • Matching pieces are unavailable
  • You are preparing the house for sale and the siding is aging

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Ridgewood, we look at the siding and the wall behind it and explain your options.

Siding Installation and Replacement

For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair the sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash every opening and roof-to-wall joint, and fasten new siding with room for expansion. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum siding and go over product, profile, and color options with you at the estimate.

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

Older and Historic Homes

Ridgewood has older homes with original wood siding and trim worth keeping. Where boards and shingles are mostly sound, replacing only the damaged pieces and repainting can preserve the character of the house. If your home is a designated historic property, let us know so we can plan around it.

Downtown Buildings

Ridgewood’s downtown along East Ridgewood Avenue, with landmarks like the Wilsey and Moore buildings, is a busy shopping and dining district. Where downtown buildings have siding on upper floors, side walls, or rear additions, trouble spots include transitions to masonry and storefronts, signs fastened through siding, and flat roofs meeting sided walls. We repair commercial siding and plan work around businesses, customers, and sidewalks.

Along the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook

Homes near the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, including the Scrabbletown area, may see more moisture around the base of walls after heavy rain. Keeping downspouts discharging away from the house and soil below the bottom course helps those walls stay dry.

Seasonal Siding Care

  • Spring: check for winter cracks and loose panels.
  • Summer: look for ripples on sunny walls.
  • Fall: clean gutters and check downspouts.
  • Winter: keep snow piles off siding.

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