Siding Repair in Somerville, MA
Damaged courses replaced and profile-matched, then primed on all sides before they go up.
On Somerville properties
Carpentry comes before coating on Somerville exteriors. Front and rear porches carry three households and take the full weather load. Rails, decking and post bases rot first and painting over soft wood buys one winter. We repair or replace it first, because paint over soft wood buys a season.
The way we work it
Damaged courses replaced and profile-matched, then primed on all sides before they go up.
Damaged courses come out individually rather than cutting a patch panel. New stock gets primed all six sides before installation, and the butt joints get staggered away from the ones above and below so water can't track straight down.
The mistake we get called to fix
Face-nailing replacement clapboard through the course below it. It looks fine until the boards move seasonally and split at every nail.
