What the old wall shows
Chalky surface, open joints, gaps at the trim. These tell you whether the problem is cosmetic or whether water has been getting behind the cladding.

How we approach it
The wall and its water
Siding keeps weather off the wall and gutters take it away from the foundation. They fail together, which is why they are worth looking at together.
02
Fiber cement or vinyl
Fiber cement is heavier, holds paint longer and costs more. Vinyl is lighter, faster and friendlier to a budget. Both are honest answers depending on the house.
03
The layer underneath
House wrap taped at every seam and pans flashed under every window. This is the part that actually keeps the wall dry, and it disappears the moment siding goes on.
04
Aligned, and draining
Courses level across the whole elevation, trim tight, and a seamless gutter above carrying water away from the foundation.
Good to know
Siding, answered
What siding do you work with?
Fiber-cement, insulated vinyl, and natural wood, alongside the trim, soffit, and fascia that finish the composition. Color and profile are chosen against the roof, windows, and architecture. The exterior is designed as one palette.
Do you replace gutters with siding?
Usually, and ideally: fascia, soffit, and guttering all meet where the wall reaches the roof, so doing them together is how those details end up watertight. See gutters, and gutter guards if your roof sits under trees.
Is new siding worth it beyond looks?
Yes. Modern siding assemblies improve weather protection and, with insulated options, energy performance. It is also the moment to correct water-management details that quietly age a house.
