Common Siding Problems
Common siding problems in Broomfield include cracks from hail impact, warped or buckled boards from improper installation, holes from woodpeckers or impact damage, rot around windows and doors where water gets trapped, fading and discoloration from UV exposure, loose or missing panels after windstorms, and mold or mildew growth in shaded areas with poor drainage.
Hail damage shows up differently depending on your siding material. Fiber cement like James Hardie cracks where hail hits hard enough to fracture the board. You’ll see spiderweb cracks or chunks knocked out. Vinyl dents or cracks, especially if it’s cold and brittle. Wood siding shows impact marks that look like divots. LP SmartSide can crack or chip at impact points. After major hail storms that sweep through McKay Landing, Aspen Creek, and Willow Run, we inspect dozens of homes for siding damage.
Wind damage happens when panels weren’t fastened correctly or when sustained high winds find weak points. Chinook winds coming off the Rockies hit 50-60 mph on random days throughout the year. They get under loose siding edges and peel sections off. We see this constantly on west-facing walls that take the brunt of prevailing winds. Homes in Northmoor Estates and Brandywine with older siding installations are especially vulnerable.
Rot is the silent killer of siding systems. It starts behind the siding where you can’t see it. Clogged gutters overflow and water runs down behind siding. Sprinklers spray directly on siding and moisture sits against wall sheathing. Window flashing fails and water leaks behind trim boards. By the time you notice soft spots or bulging siding, the rot has spread. We’ve replaced entire wall sections in Westminster Hills and Countryside where rot went unnoticed for years.
Storm and Wind Damage Repair
After hail storms, we inspect all elevations of your home for impact damage. Insurance adjusters measure damage as a percentage per side. If damage exceeds their threshold, typically 8-10 squares per elevation, they approve replacement for that side rather than patching individual boards. Some adjusters try to approve patch repairs when full replacement is warranted. We document damage they might miss and make sure estimates reflect actual scope.
Wind damage assessment looks for torn-off panels, loose sections, and fastener failures. Sometimes wind doesn’t rip siding completely off but loosens it enough that the next storm will finish the job. We check fastener patterns because improperly installed siding fails in high winds. Vinyl that’s nailed too tight can’t expand and contract, so it buckles and tears. Fiber cement without proper clearances cracks at fastener points.
We’ve repaired storm damage across Broomfield Country Club, The Farm in Westminster, Hyland Greens, and Cotton Creek. Our office is 500 feet from the Westminster border, so response times are fast when you need emergency repairs to prevent water intrusion. We tarp damaged sections, board up holes, and secure loose panels until permanent repairs can happen.
Patching vs Full Replacement
Patching vs full replacement depends on age, damage extent, and material availability. If your siding is under 10 years old with isolated damage from a specific event, patching usually makes sense. If it’s over 20 years old with multiple problem areas, widespread fading, or hidden rot, you’re looking at replacement.
Small patches work when damage is limited to a few boards or panels. We cut out the damaged section, repair any wall sheathing underneath if needed, and install new pieces. The challenge is color matching. Siding that’s been on your house for 10+ years has faded from UV exposure. New boards won’t match perfectly even if we get the exact same product and color code. We’ll show you samples against your existing siding so you know what to expect.
Section replacement makes sense when an entire wall elevation has damage. This happens after severe hail storms or when rot has spread across multiple studs. We replace the damaged elevation and leave matching sides alone. Insurance typically covers this approach after storm damage.
Full replacement is the right call when repair costs approach 50-60% of replacement cost, or when your siding is old enough that finding matching materials is impossible. Manufacturers discontinue colors and profiles every few years. Sometimes patching isn’t an option because the exact material doesn’t exist anymore. We’ve dealt with this constantly in older Broomfield Heights homes where siding is 25-30 years old.
Siding Inspection
Siding inspection in Broomfield should happen at least once a year, ideally in spring before storm season and again in fall. Colorado’s weather is brutal on exteriors, and catching small problems early prevents expensive repairs later.
We inspect for cracks, holes, loose panels, warped boards, and soft spots that indicate rot. We check caulking around windows, doors, and trim because failed caulk lets water behind siding. We look at flashing where siding meets rooflines, chimneys, and decks. We check that siding has proper clearance from soil and concrete because contact with ground moisture causes rot.
We inspect ventilation behind siding because trapped moisture causes mold and rot even when the siding itself looks fine. House wrap should be intact with no tears. Weep holes at the bottom of vinyl siding should be clear so water can drain out. We check fastener patterns because loose nails or improper spacing causes panels to work loose over time.
After hail storms that hit Broadlands, Westminster Promenade area, or anywhere across our service area, get your siding inspected even if you don’t see obvious damage from the ground. Impact marks aren’t always visible to untrained eyes. Insurance claims have time limits, and you don’t want to discover damage six months later when it’s too late to file.
We offer free siding inspections year-round. We’ll document what we find with photos, explain what needs immediate attention versus what can wait, and give you a written estimate. No pressure to sign, no surprise charges. Just an honest assessment from contractors who’ve seen every type of siding problem Colorado weather can create.
Material Matching
Material matching is the biggest challenge with siding repairs in Broomfield because manufacturers constantly update their product lines. The James Hardie color that was called “Cobblestone” five years ago might have a different formula now. The vinyl siding profile from 2010 doesn’t exist anymore.
For recent installations under 5 years old, matching is usually straightforward. We contact the manufacturer with your product code and order exact replacements. The color might not be perfect because UV fades siding over time, but it’s close enough that most people can’t tell from the street.
For older siding, matching gets tricky. We keep samples of common materials and can show you what repairs will look like before we order anything. Sometimes we can salvage pieces from less visible areas of your home and use them for repairs on prominent elevations, then install close-match material where it’s less noticeable. Sometimes we recommend replacing an entire wall elevation with new material so it all matches, rather than having patched sections that stand out.
Color matching matters most on front elevations and street-facing sides. Back and side walls where repairs are less visible can handle slight mismatches without hurting curb appeal. We’ll walk you through options and show you exactly what to expect. We’ve matched siding across Willow Run, Legacy Ridge in Westminster, and older neighborhoods where finding exact materials required creativity.
For fiber cement, we can field-paint repairs to match if factory colors don’t work. For vinyl and LP SmartSide, we’re limited to available colors and profiles. We’re honest about what’s possible. If perfect matching isn’t achievable, we’ll tell you upfront and show you alternatives.
Why ATS Exteriors for Siding Repairs
ATS Exteriors handles siding repairs differently than most contractors. We hold James Hardie Elite Preferred and LP SmartSide Preferred certifications, which means we know these materials inside and out. We’ve installed and repaired thousands of square feet of siding across Broomfield and Westminster, and we understand how different materials respond to Colorado’s climate.
We don’t push full replacements when repairs will do the job. We’d rather fix your siding correctly, earn your trust, and have you call us again when you need a roof or full siding replacement years from now. Short-term profit isn’t worth losing long-term relationships with our neighbors.
Our office location 500 feet from the Westminster border means we respond quickly to both Broomfield and Westminster calls. We know the neighborhoods, we’ve worked on streets throughout both cities, and we’re invested in the community. When you call us, you talk to the people who’ll actually do the work.

Broomfield Siding Repair Questions Answered
Questions & Answers
Fix damaged siding as soon as you notice it because small problems turn into big ones fast. A cracked board lets water behind your siding, which soaks into wall sheathing and insulation. What starts as a simple board replacement becomes structural repairs if you wait months. Rot spreads from one stud bay to adjacent areas. Mold grows in damp wall cavities. Insects find entry points through gaps. Colorado’s weather makes this worse because our temperature swings and UV exposure accelerate deterioration once protective barriers fail. If you’ve got a few damaged boards after a hail storm, get them fixed within weeks. If you’ve got active water intrusion or large sections torn off, that’s urgent and needs immediate attention to prevent interior damage. We’ve seen homeowners wait a year to fix “just a crack” and by then the repair cost tripled because rot spread behind the siding. Don’t let small repairs become major projects.
Small cosmetic repairs like replacing one or two loose vinyl panels might be DIY if you’re handy and the panels are accessible. But most siding repairs need professional work because mistakes cause bigger problems. Cutting fiber cement creates silica dust that requires proper respirators. Installing siding without correct fastener spacing causes buckling and tears. Patching without addressing underlying moisture issues means the repair fails within months. The biggest DIY mistake we see is people patching visible damage without checking what’s happening behind the siding. They seal up a cracked board while rot is eating the wall sheathing underneath. Professional repairs include inspecting wall cavities, replacing damaged sheathing, installing proper flashing and house wrap, then matching and installing siding correctly. We’ve redone dozens of DIY repairs where homeowners spent money on materials but didn’t fix the actual problem. For anything involving rot, water damage, multiple boards, or hard-to-reach areas, hire someone who does this daily.
Perfect color matching is difficult if your siding is over 5 years old because UV exposure fades siding over time. Manufacturers also update their color formulas periodically, so even exact product codes might not match perfectly. We keep material samples and test them against your existing siding before ordering so you know what to expect. For siding under 5 years old, matches are usually close enough that most people can’t tell from the street. For older siding, we have strategies: we can salvage pieces from less visible areas and use them for front elevation repairs, then install close-match material on back or side walls where slight differences aren’t noticeable. For fiber cement, we can field-paint repairs to custom match your faded color. For vinyl and LP SmartSide, we’re limited to available colors. Sometimes replacing an entire wall elevation with new material makes more sense than patching if the color mismatch would be obvious. We’ll show you samples, explain your options, and never surprise you with mismatched repairs after work is done.
Siding repair costs vary based on damage extent, material type, and accessibility. Replacing a few damaged boards might cost a few hundred dollars. Repairing an entire wall section with rot damage can run several thousand. As a general rule, if repair costs approach 50-60% of what full replacement would cost, replacement makes more sense because you’re getting a complete system with warranty coverage instead of patching an aging system. Small repairs after isolated damage are almost always worth it. Extensive repairs on siding that’s already 20+ years old often aren’t. We’ll give you pricing for both repair and replacement so you can make an informed decision. Insurance changes the math. If storm damage is covered and you’re only paying your deductible, repairs that would normally cost thousands might only cost you $500-1,000 out of pocket. We work with insurance adjusters to document damage and make sure estimates cover appropriate scope. We never push replacement when repair will do the job, but we also won’t patch a failing system if you’d be throwing good money after bad.
Ignoring minor siding damage costs you more in the long run because damage spreads. A small crack lets moisture behind your siding. That moisture rots wall sheathing, damages insulation, and creates mold in wall cavities. What should have been a simple board replacement becomes replacing multiple studs, sheathing panels, and insulation. We’ve seen $300 repairs turn into $5,000 projects because homeowners waited two years. Colorado’s climate accelerates this. Our intense sun exposure, temperature swings, and moisture from snow and rain work into any opening. Freeze-thaw cycles expand cracks. Wind gets under loose edges and peels more siding off. Insects and rodents find entry points through damaged areas. Your heating and cooling bills go up because insulation gets wet and loses R-value. If you’re planning to sell your home, obvious siding damage kills curb appeal and raises red flags during inspections. Fix problems when they’re small. Future you will be grateful.
We can repair siding in winter as long as temperatures stay above freezing and conditions are dry. Sealants and adhesives need temperatures above 40-50°F to cure properly. Snow and ice make work surfaces unsafe and prevent proper installation. That said, Colorado often gives us warm stretches even in December and January where we can work. If you’ve got damage that’s causing active water intrusion or leaving your home exposed to weather, we’ll find a way to at least do temporary repairs to protect your home until spring when permanent work can happen. Emergency repairs like tarping damaged sections or boarding up holes can happen in any weather. Full section replacements wait for better conditions. If you discover damage in winter, call us anyway. We’ll assess the situation, do what we can to prevent further damage, and schedule permanent repairs for the first warm weather window. Don’t wait until spring to call because by then every contractor is booked out for months.
Properly done siding repairs last as long as the surrounding original siding if the underlying cause was addressed. If we repair storm damage by replacing cracked boards and the rest of your siding is in good shape, those repairs should last 20-30+ years. If we patch rot damage but don’t fix the moisture source causing the rot, the repair fails within months. The key is fixing why the damage happened, not just patching visible symptoms. We check for clogged gutters, failed window flashing, improper grading that directs water toward your foundation, sprinklers aimed at siding, and ventilation issues. We repair wall sheathing and install proper house wrap before new siding goes on. Repairs done this way become invisible over time. Patches that just cover up problems fail fast. Some contractors slap boards over damage without checking what’s behind them. We don’t work that way. We repair siding correctly the first time, which costs slightly more upfront but saves you from calling us back in six months when the patch fails.
File an insurance claim if damage was caused by a covered event like hail, wind, or falling trees and the repair cost exceeds your deductible by a meaningful amount. Don’t file claims for minor damage that costs less than your deductible or barely exceeds it because claims can affect your premiums. After major hail storms in Broomfield, get your siding inspected even if damage isn’t obvious. Insurance claims have time limits, usually one year from the date of loss. If you wait six months to inspect and then file, adjusters scrutinize whether damage is actually from the reported storm or from normal wear. We help document damage with photos showing impact marks, measuring damage extent across all elevations, and providing detailed estimates that support your claim. We meet adjusters at your property and point out damage they might miss. Some adjusters approve partial repairs when full elevation replacement is warranted. We know what insurance companies typically cover and can advocate for appropriate scope. Save all documentation, take your own photos immediately after storms, and call us for a free inspection before filing so you know what you’re dealing with.
