Fix or Replace Siding Before Water Gets In

Siding Repair and Installation in Barnhart

When siding cracks, warps, or pulls away from the wall, it stops doing its job of keeping water and air out of your home. In Barnhart, where storms bring wind-driven rain and temperature swings cause vinyl to expand and contract, damaged siding can let moisture reach the sheathing and framing, leading to rot, mold, and higher energy bills as conditioned air leaks out.

McCoy's Exteriors provides siding repair and installation to restore protection and improve the appearance of your home's exterior. We work with vinyl siding, replacing cracked or faded panels, reattaching loose sections, and sealing gaps where water or pests can enter. If your siding is beyond repair, we'll remove the old material, inspect the wall for damage, and install new siding that fits tight and drains properly.

If you've noticed damaged or missing siding on your Barnhart home, contact McCoy's Exteriors to have it looked at before the problem spreads.

How do you match new siding to existing panels?

We start by removing the damaged sections and checking the underlying sheathing and housewrap for signs of moisture damage or rot. In Barnhart, we often find that water has been entering through poorly sealed seams or missing J-channel, so we replace any compromised material and install new flashing before putting up the siding. New panels are nailed into studs, spaced to allow for expansion, and locked into place so they won't pull apart in high wind.

After the repair or installation is finished, you'll see walls that are straight, uniform in color, and free of gaps or waviness. The siding will sit flat against the wall without buckling, and seams will be tight enough that you can't see through them. Water will run down the face of the siding instead of seeping behind it, and the interior walls near the repair will stay dry during rain.

If the damage is isolated to a few panels, we'll match the profile and color as closely as possible, though older siding may have faded enough that new pieces stand out slightly. Full replacements involve stripping the exterior down to the sheathing, which also gives us a chance to add insulation or upgrade the weather barrier. We don't handle wood siding or fiber cement, only vinyl, so if your home has another material, this service won't apply.

Common Concerns Before Siding Work Starts

Homeowners usually want to know how long repairs take, whether new siding will match the old, and what we do if we find rot behind the panels. These answers cover the questions that come up most often.

What causes vinyl siding to crack or warp?
Cracks usually come from impact or from nails driven in too tight, which prevents the panel from expanding and contracting. Warping happens when siding is installed without enough clearance or when dark colors absorb too much heat on sunny walls.
How do you match new siding to existing panels?
We bring a sample to our supplier and match the profile, thickness, and color as closely as possible. Vinyl fades over time, so new panels may look brighter until the sun evens them out, which takes a season or two.
What happens if you find water damage behind the siding?
We'll remove the rotted sheathing, dry out the area, and replace it with new plywood or OSB before reinstalling the siding. If the framing is wet but not rotted, we'll let it dry and treat it to prevent mold.
How long does a siding repair take?
Most repairs in Barnhart take one to two days, depending on how many panels need replacement and whether we're fixing underlying damage. Full-side installations take longer, usually a week or more depending on the size of the home.
Can you repair siding in cold weather?
Vinyl becomes brittle below freezing, so we avoid cutting or nailing it in winter unless temperatures are above forty degrees. We can still remove damaged sections and prep the wall, then finish the install when it warms up.
