Repair, Replace, or Both: How We Decide
The honest answer differs house by house, and out here the housing stock ranges from frame farmhouses with decades-old wood siding to newer block homes with stucco or builder-grade vinyl. Our assessment looks past the visible damage to what caused it.
A repair makes sense when the underlying wall is dry and sound, and the existing siding is a current product we can match. It stops making sense when we find sheathing rot spreading behind the damage, when the siding line was discontinued years ago and any patch will read like a scar, or when brittle older vinyl means the next storm simply picks a new spot. In those cases we will show you the evidence, in photos from your own walls, and price both paths so the decision is yours with full information.
- Storm damage repair with proper moisture-barrier restoration, not just new panels over wet sheathing
- Rot and pest damage correction, cutting back to sound structure before anything new goes on
- Profile matching for partial replacements, so repaired walls do not announce themselves
- Full recladding in fiber cement or insulated vinyl when the old system has reached the end
Local Experience You Can Lean On
After 25 years serving the greater Tampa Bay area, we have seen most of the ways Florida walls fail and most of the shortcuts that made them fail sooner. That history, more than 2,000 projects of it, is why our repairs start at the moisture barrier and our replacements start at the substrate, never at the cosmetic layer.
Everything begins with a free on-site estimate at your Willow property. We inspect the whole envelope, not just the obvious damage, because siding failures rarely travel alone; soft fascia, clogged gutters, and failed window flashing are usually part of the same story. You get a written scope, real product names, and a schedule we keep.
Whether we are replacing six damaged courses or every wall on the house, the work carries our 25-year workmanship warranty. If your siding took a beating in the last storm season, or has just been quietly giving up for years, let us take a look before the damage works its way inward.
