DRK Roofing and Siding does siding repair for homes in Clayton and the rest of South Jersey. We repair vinyl siding and James Hardie fiber cement siding. That covers panels a storm tore loose or blew off, along with cracked boards.

When the siding is worn out on most walls, whole-house siding replacement may make more sense. Clayton sits at the center of our service area. Call or text (856) 449-4674 to set up a free estimate. Our team comes to your home to look at the siding and emails you a detailed estimate.

What goes wrong with siding in South Jersey?

Wind can pull a vinyl panel loose from the row below it, and then it flaps or blows off. On September 1, 2021, the remnants of Ida brought severe storms to the region. A National Weather Service report from Camden County that evening noted siding lost from some homes. The report called the damage consistent with 90 mph winds.

A ball or a stone thrown by a mower can crack a vinyl panel. In extreme cold, the installation manual has installers cut vinyl slowly so it does not chip or crack. Heat from a grill parked too close can warp a panel, and so, rarely, can sunlight bounced off a window. Fiber cement is harder, but a hard hit can still crack a board.

The industry's installation manual calls vinyl siding a cladding, not a water-resistive barrier. House wrap underneath keeps water out of the wall, and a missing panel leaves it open to sun and rain. Once water gets past the wrap, the sheathing behind it can go soft. After a storm, check the siding along with the roof, before a small leak becomes a big problem.

How vinyl siding repair and fiber cement repair work

Vinyl siding repair starts with a zip tool, slid behind the bottom edge of the panel above to unhook it. The upper panel bends out, the nails come out, and the damaged panel comes off the wall. A new panel locks onto the row below and gets nailed. Then the zip tool hooks the upper panel back over it.

With the damaged panel off, we can see the wall behind it. Torn house wrap gets patched, and soft sheathing gets cut out and replaced before new siding covers it. A cracked vinyl corner post can often be repaired in place. The face of the old post is cut away, and a new cover snaps over what is left.

On fiber cement, a cracked or loose board comes out, and a new one is fastened in its place. A primed board still needs paint to match the wall. Our pages on vinyl siding and fiber cement siding cover each material. We can check the soffit and fascia at the roof edge on the same visit.

Siding repair on older South Jersey homes

A new panel can look brighter than the wall around it, because vinyl fades in the sun. On an older house, the color or profile may no longer be made. Before ordering, we compare the profile and the color with your siding.

When the color is close but not exact, one option is to borrow panels from a wall people rarely see. Those panels move to the front, and the new ones go on the hidden wall. When no good match exists, new siding on that one wall is another way to go.

Going by the Census median, about half the homes in Camden County were built in 1967 or earlier. In Gloucester County, the median year built is 1980. On a home built before 1978, old paint may sit on the trim or on wood siding under the vinyl. On paid work that disturbs that paint, the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule calls for lead-safe work practices.

FAQ

Siding Repair Questions, Answered

Common questions about siding repair around Clayton and the rest of South Jersey. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (856) 449-4674

How much does siding repair cost?
The price depends on how many panels or boards need work and how high on the house they sit. A hard-to-match color or soft sheathing behind the siding adds to the job. We look at the siding, then email you a detailed free estimate with the work and the price. If you are weighing new siding instead, our guide to siding costs in New Jersey covers market prices.
Do I need a permit for siding repair in New Jersey?
New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code calls siding repair on one- and two-family homes ordinary maintenance. Work on that list needs no permit and no inspection, and the town does not need notice. Polypropylene siding, a plastic cladding similar to vinyl, is the exception. Some township permit pages still list siding, so check with your construction office before work starts.
What should I check on my siding after a storm?
Walk around the house and look for panels that hang loose or have gone missing. Cracks and broken corners show up best up close. Check the roof from the ground too, and see our roof repair page if shingles came off. Then call or text (856) 449-4674 and tell us what you found.
Can wavy or buckled vinyl siding be fixed?
Vinyl moves as it heats and cools, so each nail needs a little slack. The installation manual calls for a gap about the thickness of a dime under the nail head. When buckling comes from nails driven too tight, the panels can sometimes be taken down and rehung. A panel warped by heat stays warped, so it gets replaced.
Do you repair siding on apartment buildings and commercial property?
Yes, DRK Roofing works for businesses as well as homeowners, including apartment complexes and property managers. Buildings other than one- and two-family homes have a narrower siding line in the state's ordinary maintenance list. It covers like-material repair up to 25 percent of the building's total exterior wall area. Past that, ask the township construction office.
