Siding & Rotted Trim Repair in Brandon, MS

Soft, cracked or rotted siding and trim, cut out and replaced down to solid sheathing, then sealed and ready for paint.

Where rot shows up on Brandon homes

Rankin County’s heat, humidity and heavy rain are hard on exterior wood. Rot usually starts where water sits or splashes back. That means corners, the bottom courses near the ground, the area under a leaky gutter, window and door trim, fascia boards, and rooftop chimney chases that take weather from every side. Paint can hide it for a while. Then a screwdriver goes straight through.

How we repair it

The photos below show a real repair, step by step. First we remove the rotted siding until we reach solid material. Any damaged sheathing behind it gets replaced; on the corner shown here, that meant new OSB. Then we install new siding (cedar on these jobs, or a matching material), seal the joints, and leave it ready for paint. We can paint it too.

Fix the cause, not just the board

New wood rots again if water keeps reaching it. While we work, we look for the likely source, such as gutters overflowing, splash-back from the ground, missing caulk, or sprinklers hitting the wall, and point it out so it can be dealt with.

Matching your siding

We match the profile and exposure of your existing siding as closely as available material allows. New wood will look different until it’s primed and painted to match. If an exact profile isn’t available anymore, we’ll explain the closest options before we start.

Common Questions

Do I need to replace the whole wall?

Usually not. Most siding rot is local. We replace the damaged sections and blend them into the existing siding.

Can you repair the siding on my chimney chase?

Yes. Chimney chases are a common rot spot, and you can see a re-sided chase in the photos on this page.

Will you paint the new siding?

Yes, if you’d like. We can leave it primed and ready for your painter, or paint it to match.
