Siding Repair

Licensed Siding Repair in Broomfield

Professional Siding Repair Done Right

Siding problems often appear without much warning. A summer hailstorm cracks fiber cement boards. A Chinook gust pulls vinyl panels loose from the wall. A misaligned sprinkler quietly soaks the same spot for months and creates rot you don’t notice until the siding starts bulging. Whatever the cause, what looks like a small cosmetic issue can quickly turn into water damage hiding behind your walls if it isn’t addressed.

ATS Exteriors has been repairing siding throughout Broomfield and surrounding areas for 7 years, with more than 15 years of broader exterior experience supporting the work. We handle every major siding type homeowners around here are likely to have: James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, vinyl, traditional wood, and stucco. From storm-damaged elevations in Broadlands to rotted boards in Broomfield Heights and color-matched patches across Legacy Ridge and The Ranch, we’ve seen and fixed just about everything Colorado weather can dish out.

Rebecca and Jeff Stakes oversee every repair personally, because cutting corners on siding work in this climate doesn’t stay hidden for long. As James Hardie Elite Preferred and LP SmartSide Preferred contractors, we know how these products are supposed to perform and what proper repair looks like. You’ll get a clear assessment, a fair price, and work that holds up.

Common Siding Problems We Handle

The issues we see most often include cracking from hail impact, warped or buckled boards from poor original installation, holes from woodpeckers or stray impacts, rot around windows and doors where moisture gets trapped, fading from years of UV exposure, panels that have come loose after wind events, and mildew growth in shaded areas where airflow is poor.

Each siding material shows damage differently. Fiber cement tends to crack in spiderweb patterns or lose chunks at impact points. Vinyl dents and splits, especially when cold weather makes it brittle. Wood and LP SmartSide show divots and chipping. After a major hail event sweeps across neighborhoods like McKay Landing, Aspen Creek, or Willow Run, we’re often inspecting dozens of homes in the same week.

Wind damage usually traces back to either improper fastening or sustained gusts finding a weak edge. West-facing walls take the worst of it because that’s where prevailing winds hit hardest. Older installations in Northmoor Estates and Brandywine are especially vulnerable when the original fasteners have started giving up.

Rot is the most expensive problem because it works out of sight. Overflowing gutters, sprinklers spraying directly against walls, and failing window flashing all let moisture sit against the wall sheathing for months or years before the siding itself shows symptoms.

Storm and Wind Damage Repair

Storm work keeps us busy from spring through early fall during hail season, plus any time severe winds tear through. After hail events, we walk every elevation of the home looking for impact damage. Insurance carriers measure damage by percentage per side, and once that threshold is crossed, the entire elevation is typically eligible for replacement rather than spot repair. We make sure adjuster estimates reflect the full scope of damage rather than understating what needs to happen.

For wind events, we look beyond what’s obviously gone. Sometimes panels haven’t been torn off completely, just loosened to the point where the next windstorm will finish the job. Fastener patterns also tell a story: vinyl nailed too tightly can’t expand and contract with temperature changes, and fiber cement installed without proper clearances tends to crack right at the fasteners.

Because we’re local, response times after storms are quick. We can tarp damaged sections, board up holes, and stabilize loose panels until permanent repairs can be scheduled.

Patching, Section Replacement, or Full Replacement

The right approach depends on age, damage scope, and whether matching material is still available. Spot patching works well when the damage is contained to a few boards and the surrounding siding is in good shape. Section replacement, where a whole elevation gets redone, makes sense after major storms or when rot has spread across multiple wall studs. Full replacement becomes the better path when repair costs start approaching half the cost of redoing everything, or when the original product is no longer manufactured.

Material Matching

Matching siding is one of the trickier parts of the job. Manufacturers regularly update colors and discontinue profiles, and UV gradually shifts the appearance of existing material even when the product code hasn’t changed. For installations under five years old, ordering replacement pieces by product code usually gets us close. For older siding, we get creative: pulling pieces from less visible elevations to use on prominent walls, field painting fiber cement when factory colors no longer match, or recommending a full elevation replacement when a patch would clearly stand out from the street. We’re upfront about what’s possible. If a perfect match isn’t realistic, we’ll show you what to expect and walk through alternatives before any material gets ordered.

Siding Inspection

A yearly inspection, ideally in spring before storm season and again in fall, catches small issues before they become major repairs. We look at cracks, holes, soft spots that signal rot, caulking around windows and doors, flashing where siding meets rooflines and decks, and ground clearance to make sure soil contact isn’t holding moisture against the wall. We also check that house wrap is intact, weep holes are clear, and fasteners haven’t worked loose. After major storms, we recommend an inspection even when no obvious damage is visible from the ground. Insurance claims have time limits, and you don’t want to discover damage months later. We offer free siding inspections year-round, with documented findings, photos, and a no-pressure written estimate.

Why ATS Exteriors

We approach siding repairs differently than most contractors in the area. Our James Hardie Elite Preferred and LP SmartSide Preferred certifications mean we’ve put in the training and demonstrated workmanship to be trusted with these products. We won’t push a full replacement when a careful repair will get the job done, and we’d rather earn your trust now and be the team you call again years down the road. When you reach out, you’re talking to the people doing the work, not a sales pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my siding damage is serious?

Some signs are easy to spot: visible cracks, missing panels, soft spots when you press on the siding, or moisture stains on interior walls. Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground, though, so a professional inspection is the only reliable way to know what’s actually going on.

Will my insurance cover siding repair?

Storm-related damage from hail or wind is generally covered. Wear and tear, age-related fading, and rot from long-term moisture issues typically aren’t. We’re happy to walk through the inspection with your adjuster and document everything thoroughly.

Can siding be repaired in the winter?

In most cases, yes. We monitor temperatures carefully, since some materials and sealants need certain conditions to perform properly. Emergency stabilization can happen almost any time, with permanent repairs scheduled when conditions cooperate.

How long does a typical siding repair take?

Smaller patches often wrap up in a single day. Section replacements involving a full elevation can take 2 to 3 days, depending on size, prep work, and any underlying repairs needed once the old material comes off.

Can you match my existing siding color?

We’ll get you as close as possible, and we’ll be upfront about what’s realistic. For older siding where exact matching isn’t achievable, we’ll walk you through options like field painting or full elevation replacement.

Do you handle the rot repair behind the siding too?

Yes. When we open up a damaged section and find compromised sheathing or framing underneath, we address it as part of the project. We’ll document the condition, share photos, and discuss any added scope before continuing.
