In the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, maintaining the integrity and appearance of your home is crucial, not just for aesthetic appeal but also for the structural health of your property. At Shepherd Roofing & Renovations, we recently completed a comprehensive siding repair project that underscores our commitment to excellence and attention to detail. Here’s an in-depth look at how we tackled the challenges of this project and restored beauty and durability to a local home.
Our latest project involved a residence that required extensive siding repair due to weather-related wear and structural aging, particularly around the chimney area, which is often prone to moisture and resultant damage. The homeowner reached out to us after receiving an inspection report that highlighted several areas of concern requiring immediate attention.
Upon our initial site visit, we confirmed the inspector’s findings that the existing lap siding, particularly around the top of the chimney, had suffered significant damage. The underlying OSB backing showed signs of rot, compromising the siding’s ability to protect the home effectively. Given the extent of the damage, a full replacement of the affected siding and backing was necessary.
For this project, we chose 8″ Fiber Cement (HardieBoard) Lap Siding and Fiber Cement Trim, renowned for their durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance requirements. Fiber cement siding is an excellent choice for Fort Worth’s variable weather conditions, providing superior resistance to warping, fading, and cracking.
The first step in our repair process was to carefully remove the damaged siding and inspect the underlying structures. We replaced the rotted OSB backing with new, high-quality materials to ensure a solid foundation for the new siding. The installation of HardieBoard siding requires precise techniques to ensure that each panel is perfectly aligned and securely fastened, tasks our skilled technicians are trained to perform with precision.
A crucial step in any siding repair project is ensuring that the new installation seamlessly integrates with the existing exterior. After securely installing the new siding and trim, we sealed all joints and edges to prevent moisture ingress, a common issue that can lead to premature deterioration.
The final step was painting the new siding to match the rest of the home’s exterior. Color matching is vital to maintaining the property’s aesthetic integrity, and our team took great care to ensure that the new paint perfectly matched the existing hues, providing a fresh and updated look while maintaining the home’s original charm.
Upon completion of the installation and painting, our team conducted a thorough cleanup of the site, removing all debris and materials to leave the property in pristine condition. A final inspection was carried out to ensure that every aspect of the project met our high standards and the homeowner’s expectations. We pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail and the quality of our craftsmanship, and this project was no exception.
