At The Forefront Of Siding Repair Science
While a small percentage of siding repairs are caused by faulty materials, high winds, or some form of external impact damage, most siding repairs are necessary because of moisture intrusion, which is a common problem here in the Pacific Northwest. SFW Construction strives to be at the forefront of waterproofing and moisture prevention building science. Simply removing and replacing damaged or defective siding products are only part of a lasting and meaningful siding repair. Futhermore, it is critical that your siding contractor cares enough, and has the requisite knowledge, to diagnose the causation of the core issue that led to the damage. Above all, SFW Construction wants to ensure that the repair lasts for decades and isolating the root cause is the first step in making sure the issue doesn’t reoccur. After locating the moisture intrusion point(s) we will use the best moisture barriers, self-adhesive membranes, elastomeric sealants, and custom fabricated metal flashings to waterproof the repair.

Siding Repair FAQs
Yes, except vinyl siding. Painting your siding with high-quality paint is an essential step to making your siding last and stay protected against the elements. SFW Construction uses pre-primed material and always makes sure to prime the material cuts so your new siding will be ready for paint.
Louisiana-Pacific (LP) siding manufactured between 1985 and 1995 was the subject of a class-action lawsuit due to premature deterioration and water absorption. While full replacement is ideal if budget permits, it is not always necessary immediately. If your siding is mostly in decent shape with only localized damage, SFW Construction can perform targeted repairs to remove the affected areas. This approach allows you to extend the lifespan of your current siding and buy time to save up for a full replacement.
Yes, it is vital to use a James Hardie factory-trained contractor who has experience installing siding. These carpenters know the right way to install the product so that the homeowner can get the most out of their investment.
Vinyl siding can melt, warp, or bubble if exposed to temperatures around 160 degrees. One of the more common reasons we see damaged vinyl siding without any apparent signs of heat or fire damage is the reflection of high-efficiency windows. At times, this light reflection can be over 200 degrees during peak summer months.
James Hardie siding recommends not caulking siding butt joints, but to install a joint flashing commonly referred to as a bearskin. This is a small piece of metal flashing installed behind the siding where the two pieces join.
Yes, vinyl siding is not a waterproof siding. The seams and terminations should be fitted tight and cut precisely, but not caulked or sealed.
A targeted siding repair is cutting out the damaged areas, conducting a small repair, and tying the repaired area back into the existing material. This method saves homeowners time and money. Many contractors will recommend a full siding replacement or extensive repair when just a small space is affected, to secure a long, unnecessary, and profitable project at the homeowner’s expense.
Also known as wall cladding, siding is the material that protects the outside of a house or building by attaching to the exterior.
The type of repairs SFW Construction performs on a house is exterior. We specialize in siding, dry rot, roofing, flashing, windows and doors, leaks, painting, and structural repairs.
In the Pacific Northwest, we get a lot of wet and cold weather, so it’s essential to choose a siding material that can stand up to the harsh elements. James Hardie siding is built to withstand the extreme Oregon and Washington weather. If Hardie is not what you are looking for, cedar is another great siding option. For our climate, we would recommend staying away from vinyl siding.
