Understanding Siding Damage and When Repairs Are Necessary

Your home’s siding protects against Charlotte’s unpredictable weather, but damage can lead to moisture infiltration, structural issues, and energy loss. At New Old Remodeling, we know minor problems can quickly worsen if ignored. Common signs you need repairs include:

• Visible cracks or warping
• Loose or missing panels
• Water stains on interior walls
• Increased heating or cooling bills

With 65% of siding repairs caused by wind, hail, and moisture, our expertise with James Hardie and LP SmartSide products helps us spot hidden damage early—saving you costly repairs like mold and wood rot down the line.

Our Comprehensive Siding Repair Process

When you contact New Old Remodeling for siding repair, we start with a detailed inspection that checks not only the damaged area but also surrounding panels, weather barriers, and structural components. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we detect hidden issues like water damage and insulation gaps to address the root cause, not just visible problems.

Our repair process includes:

• Carefully removing damaged fiber cement or engineered wood panels
• Inspecting and repairing water-resistant barriers and structural damage
• Installing new panels that match your existing siding in color and texture

With certifications like LP SmartSide Master, we ensure expert repairs and personalized service to restore your home’s beauty and protection.

Our team knows how to cut costs without cutting corners, often salvaging undamaged materials and focusing repairs only where necessary.
