Vinyl Siding Repair
Vinyl siding is low-maintenance, but Boulder's extreme conditions still cause problems. Our vinyl siding repair covers everything from hairline cracks to full panel replacement.
Common Vinyl Siding Problems in Boulder:
Cracking from hail impacts—even small hail creates stress fractures that spread over time
Warping and buckling from heat reflection off windows, patios, and neighboring homes (vinyl softens at 160°F, and reflected sunlight easily exceeds that)
Fading and brittleness from intense high-altitude UV exposure
Panels blown loose by Front Range wind gusts
Gaps at seams that let moisture and pests inside
How We Fix Damaged Vinyl Siding:
For cracked or warped panels, we remove the damaged siding and unlock adjacent pieces using a zip tool. We inspect the housewrap and insulation behind, then install replacement panels, making sure they're hung properly—vinyl needs room to expand and contract, and improper nailing causes buckling. For loose panels, we resecure fasteners and check that J-channels and trim pieces are intact.
Material Sourcing:
Matching vinyl color and profile is critical for invisible repairs. We work with distributors who carry current manufacturer lines and can track down discontinued styles. For older vinyl, we bring samples to match as closely as possible. If your siding is severely faded, we may recommend replacing a full wall section for consistent appearance rather than a patchwork siding repair..
Wood Siding Repair
Wood siding gives Boulder homes their character, but Colorado's climate is tough on it. Our wood siding repair services address the damage before it spreads.
Common Wood Siding Problems in Boulder:
Rotted siding from moisture trapped behind boards—especially on north-facing walls that stay damp longer
Splitting and cracking from intense UV exposure and daily temperature swings (Boulder can see 40°+ shifts in a single day)
Woodpecker damage and insect boring, common in foothills properties
Cupping and warping from repeated wet-dry cycles
Paint failure that allows moisture penetration
How We Fix Damaged Wood Siding:
We remove rotted siding sections completely—there's no saving wood rot, and leaving any behind lets it spread. We inspect the sheathing and framing underneath, treat any moisture damage, then install new boards that match your existing siding profile. For older Boulder homes, we take extra care matching the reveal width, thickness, and wood species so the repair blends invisibly.
Material Sourcing:
We source cedar, redwood, and engineered wood products from local suppliers who stock profiles common to Boulder-area homes. For historic properties or discontinued patterns, we can have custom profiles milled to match. We keep common board sizes in our mobile workshop for same-week siding repair on straightforward jobs.
Metal Siding Repair
Steel and aluminum siding handles Boulder weather well, but it's not immune to damage. Our metal siding repair restores both function and appearance.
Common Metal Siding Problems in Boulder:
Dents and dings from hail—metal dents rather than cracks, but the damage is still visible
Scratches that expose bare metal to rust (steel siding) or oxidation (aluminum)
Loose panels from wind uplift, especially at corners and edges
Fading and chalking of the factory finish from UV exposure
Corrosion at fastener points where dissimilar metals contact
How We Fix Damaged Metal Siding:
Small dents can sometimes be pulled or filled, but significantly damaged siding panels need replacement. We remove fasteners carefully to avoid tearing adjacent panels, inspect the underlayment, and install new panels with proper overlap and sealing. For scratches and surface rust, we sand, prime, and apply matching exterior paint to prevent further corrosion.
Material Sourcing:
Metal siding profiles are fairly standardized, making sourcing easier than wood or vinyl. We order replacement panels from manufacturers or local metal suppliers. For older steel siding with discontinued colors, touch-up paint or full-panel refinishing keeps the wall looking uniform. We'll give you an honest assessment—sometimes a siding replacement of an entire wall section looks better and lasts longer than patching multiple damaged areas.
Common Siding Problems We Fix in Boulder
ROTTED SIDING: Wood siding rot is the #1 repair in Boulder. Moisture trapped behind siding spreads invisibly. We remove rotted sections, treat underlying damage, and install matching boards.
STORM AND HAIL DAMAGE: Cracked vinyl, dented metal, split wood from hail. Mention working with insurance adjusters.
WARPED OR BUCKLING SIDING: Vinyl warps from heat reflection. Replace sections and correct installation.
GAPS AND LOOSE SIDING: Let moisture, pests, and cold air inside. Resecure and seal.
PEELING PAINT: Sign of trapped moisture. Investigate cause, repair, prep for repaint.
Siding Repair vs. Siding Replacement
REPAIR makes sense when: Damage is limited to a few boards, rot hasn't spread to the sheathing, and matching materials are available
REPLACEMENT makes sense when: Damage >30% of wall, rot reached studs, siding discontinued, multiple areas failing

FAQs
How do I know if my siding needs repair?
Look for paint bubbling/peeling, soft spots, visible cracks, gaps between boards, warping, and discoloration. These signs mean repair can prevent expensive damage.
Can rotted siding be repaired, or does it need replacement?
Rotted boards need replacement—you can't repair rot. But if only a few boards are affected and rot hasn't spread to the sheathing, repair is much cheaper than full replacement.
How much does siding repair cost in Boulder?
Small repairs $200-$500, medium $500-$1,500, larger $1,500-$4,000+. Our rate is $120/hour plus materials. Most minor repairs take 2-4 hours.
Do you match existing siding for repairs?
Yes, we source matching materials for seamless repairs—matching wood species, profile, dimensions for wood; style and color for vinyl.
Should I repair or replace my siding?
Repair when damage is limited, and the rest of the siding is sound. Replace when damage is widespread, rot has reached the structure, or repairs would cost >40-50% of replacement.

““We had rotted siding on our north-facing wall that we’d been ignoring for too long. Raymon came out, showed us exactly where the damage was, and replaced the affected boards the same week. The repair is invisible—you can’t tell where the new boards are. Wish we’d called sooner instead of watching the rot spread.”— Erica, Mapleton Hill”
