As an exterior shield against the elements for homes, siding plays a critical role in Ohio’s variable climate. With exposure to major temperature shifts across four distinct seasons, having durable and well-installed siding that can expand and contract through cold winters and hot summers is key. From blistering winds and damage from storms to intense UV rays, heavy rains, and large hail, Ohio siding must also withstand significant weathering year-round.

Whether homeowners prefer the look and feel of wood, luxury vibes of brick and stone, low-maintenance vinyl and fiber cement, or authentic wood grain composite sidings, many options for aesthetic and protective exteriors exist today. Proper siding systems repel precipitation, pests, and impacts from flying debris while insulating interiors for comfort and energy savings. As a trusted exterior specialist in Ohio, Gouge Quality Roofing proudly offers high-quality siding services throughout Ohio, including Amanda, Grove City, and more.

Siding Replacements

Over time, extensive sun damage, wind, hail, freeze-thaw shifts, pest infestations in wood, and other environmental stressors can start compromising older or poorly installed sidings beyond reasonable repair scope. Typical indicators that full siding replacement procedures are required include warping, cracking, loosening, rot, and water penetration, affecting over 30% of the surface area.

At Gouge Quality Roofing, our professional siding contractors conduct thorough situation assessments to determine when replacement is the wisest, most cost-effective solution for homeowners needing exterior restoration.

The full replacement process involves safely removing the existing compromised siding, addressing any underlying structural deficiencies, installing protective moisture barriers, and then fitting and seamlessly integrating the new siding system. Based on clients’ aesthetic preferences, functional priorities, and home specs, we advise on optimal replacement materials for their climate and make professional recommendations on high-performing, attractive products.

Benefits of Siding Replacements

Full siding replacement provides multiple benefits when aging, damaged, or outdated sidings lose protective and aesthetic integrity from Ohio’s extreme elements and everyday wear.

Eliminating prior siding installation flaws:2024-02-13T09:28:15-05:00

Instead of tolerating original application defects, full replacement provides improvement opportunities by seamlessly integrating modern systems.

Preemption of pest infestations behind walls:2024-02-13T09:26:50-05:00

Replacing exterior entry points seals off access to rodents, termites, and other pests that could infest inner walls and erode infrastructure.

Prevention of costly water damage over time:2024-02-13T09:26:15-05:00

Sealing the structure from precipitation, dampness, and dew buildup prevents expensive structural damages like mold growth, wall rot, and eroded insulation over time.

Increased curb appeal and home value:2024-02-13T09:25:41-05:00

A pristine, eye-catching exterior siding facade naturally boosts a home’s perceived value. Recent data indicates full replacement recoups over 70% of invested costs.

A refreshed, updated exterior aesthetic:2024-02-13T09:25:01-05:00

Full siding replacement presents the opportunity to transform exterior appearances with on-trend colors and tempting textures when selecting new boards. Enjoy a fully revived home facade.

Reduced future maintenance requirements:2024-02-13T09:24:09-05:00

Advanced sidings made of durable polymers, composites, and metals require far less upkeep than aging wood that may warp and crack over time. Their resilient materials withstand weathering.

Installation of advanced, resilient siding materials:2024-02-13T09:22:50-05:00

Homeowners can upgrade to modern insulated vinyl, composite wood grains, and steel styles that better withstand Ohio’s variable climate while enhancing aesthetics.

Improved insulation and energy efficiency:2024-02-13T09:20:13-05:00

New insulating siding types better seal homes, preventing costly air leaks and reducing heating/cooling costs by up to 15% annually.

Our Siding Replacement Process

To streamline every client’s experience replacing siding, our process entails thorough evaluations of existing siding conditions. The siding replacement process further includes troubleshooting issues that require structural attention, providing product and design recommendations tailored to needs and budgets, acquiring necessary permits, removing old materials, and performing clean and careful new siding installations. With access to top-brand sidings through manufacturer certifications, we use precision measurements to cut and align boards and panels securely. 

For ornate homes, we have specialty tools to form intricate pieces around architectural elements as well. With expert layering techniques for corner boards, flashing, insulation, caulking, and trims, our crews install long-lasting, level, and properly sealed siding systems. We also handle full old siding removals and disposals through environmentally responsible waste management partners.

Siding Repairs

While full siding replacement has merits for extensively damaged structures and modernization goals, localized trouble spots often need only repairs versus complete redos. From errant balls, storm debris blows, and lawn equipment mishaps to pest damage, individual siding boards, and trim pieces can become marred, cracked, warped, or detached without signifying large underlying issues. Severe hail storms also often create scattered siding pockmarks and holes requiring repairs.

Repairs make practical sense in cases of more isolated siding damage not affecting the whole system’s integrity or aesthetics broadly. As leading siding specialists familiar with all exterior siding issues in Ohio, we evaluate damage and execute targeted repairs expertly.

Benefits of Siding Repair

With siding repairs from minor damage, several meaningful benefits arise over complete replacements.

Significantly lower costs than full replacements:2024-02-13T10:42:43-05:00

Isolated repairs optimally restore siding functionally and visually for a fraction of full installation costs.

Extends existing siding’s useful lifespan:2024-02-13T10:42:09-05:00

Strategic repairs add longevity to quality siding by sealing compromised areas before damage spreads further.

Restores original appearance affordably:2024-02-13T10:31:54-05:00

Precision repairs like paint touch-ups easily mask isolated aesthetic damage from storms, protecting home values.

Halts moisture damage before it intensifies:2024-02-13T10:34:04-05:00

Promptly sealing any cracks or hole entry points maintains water resistance across the siding.

Limits repairs to only problem areas:2024-02-13T10:34:35-05:00

Unlike extensive replacements, repairs focus specifically on identified trouble spots in need vs. good areas.

Maintains surrounding siding integrity:2024-02-13T10:35:15-05:00

Keeping quality existing siding intact through repairs is ideal and minimizes waste.

Enhances insulation opportunities:2024-02-13T13:47:49-05:00

Added sealants and replacement patches can boost poorly insulated zones.

Matches existing siding shades/textures beautifully:2024-02-13T13:48:25-05:00

Our color-match artistry blends repairs beautifully with current siding hues and materials.

Prevents larger replacement projects:2024-02-13T13:49:04-05:00

Catching minor damage early keeps repair scopes small by addressing issues before necessitating whole wall replacements.

Our Siding Repair Process in Ohio

With expansive siding expertise cultivated in Ohio’s diverse climate for over two decades, our crews perform lasting, specialized siding repairs that restore flawless aesthetics and critical protective qualities. We first identify the underlying causes, whether severe weathering, pest infestations, insufficient caulking, or flashing failures.

After pinpointing and troubleshooting damage sources, we then develop tailored solutions for damage extents and siding types involved across vinyl, composite wood, fiber cement, and wood categories.

For minor isolated gaps and holes, we implement selective seal reinforcements and board segment repairs or replacements blending perfectly with surrounding sidings. Larger consecutive stretch repairs may utilize matching siding types and dye lots installed uniformly.
