Walls That Hold Up to Rain and Snow

Siding Installation and Repair in Garrettsville, Ohio

Your home's exterior in Garrettsville takes constant punishment from rain that soaks into cracks, snow that piles against the foundation, and temperature swings that make siding expand and contract. Over time, panels warp, paint peels, and moisture finds its way behind the walls, leading to rot and insulation problems. JB Construction & Repairs LLC installs and repairs vertical, metal, and vinyl siding, helping homeowners protect their homes while improving appearance and energy efficiency.

Siding installation involves removing old materials, inspecting the sheathing for damage, and attaching new panels with fasteners that allow for expansion without cracking or buckling. The work includes proper flashing around windows and doors, sealing seams to keep water out, and choosing materials that handle Ohio's humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. Repairs address isolated damage without replacing the entire exterior, fixing sections that have cracked, loosened, or been torn off by wind.

How Siding Gets Installed to Protect Your Home

The crew starts by removing old siding and examining the sheathing underneath for rot, moisture damage, or areas that need reinforcement. In Garrettsville, older homes often have insufficient house wrap or gaps where water has seeped behind the siding for years. Once the surface is prepped, new house wrap is applied, trim is installed around openings, and siding panels are fastened starting from the bottom and working up.

After installation, you'll notice walls that don't have gaps, warped panels, or loose corners. Rain runs down the surface without seeping behind the siding, and drafts around windows and doors are reduced. The exterior looks clean and uniform, and you won't hear panels rattling or flapping when the wind picks up.

Vinyl siding is fastened with nails driven into slots that allow for expansion, metal siding is attached with screws and trim pieces that overlap to shed water, and vertical siding is installed with careful attention to alignment so seams don't buckle. Each material has different maintenance requirements and lifespans, and the choice depends on budget, home style, and how much upkeep you're willing to handle. This service doesn't include painting, window replacement, or foundation repairs unless they're part of the siding project.

You're Not the First to Ask These Questions

Homeowners want to know which siding material makes sense for their home, how long the work takes, and what to do if damage is found behind the old siding.

What type of siding is best for homes in Garrettsville?
Vinyl siding is affordable and low-maintenance, metal siding lasts longer and resists impact, and vertical siding offers a traditional look with modern materials. Your choice depends on budget, style preference, and how long you plan to stay in the home.
How long does siding installation take?
Most homes take one to two weeks depending on size, material, and how much prep work is needed. Weather delays can extend the timeline if it's too wet or cold to install properly.
What happens if there's damage behind the old siding?
We'll notify you if we find rot, mold, or structural issues during removal. You'll have the option to approve repairs before new siding goes on, and we'll explain what's needed and why.
Why does siding fail in Northeast Ohio?
Temperature swings cause siding to expand and contract, and moisture from rain and snow seeps into cracks and fastener holes. Improper installation or lack of house wrap accelerates damage by trapping water behind the panels.
What should I do to prepare for siding installation?
Move furniture, grills, and outdoor equipment away from the house perimeter. Trim back shrubs and plants so the crew has clear access to the walls. Expect noise during removal and fastening.
