Siding Repair and Replacement
Siding installation and repair are managed by The Roof Shepherd, with the condition documented before any work is scoped. Your siding and your roof share every storm. We review condition, document damage honestly, and manage repair or replacement when the work is warranted.

The short version
- Siding work starts with a documented review of its condition. The honest answer is often that nothing needs doing.
- Damage on a few panels usually means repair. Brittle siding, long term moisture stains, or rot underneath usually means replacement.
- Hail strikes walls at an angle, so one or two sides of the house can take the hit while the roof and the other walls look untouched.
- Our crew does the installation from start to finish. You keep the same photo record the crew works from.
- We advise and educate you on your options and rights, document the roof, and submit documented supplements. We are not a public adjuster and never negotiate or settle a claim for you.

Condition First
What we do in siding
Repair, replacement, and the trim work around it: fascia, soffit, and the flashing and transitions where siding actually fails. Fiber cement, vinyl, wood and engineered wood. We document the condition first, then manage the work so the crew builds from the same record you hold.
Siding work covers repair, replacement and trim, and the condition is documented first so the crew builds from it.
Impact damage
Siding problems rarely announce themselves in the middle of a wall. They start where panels meet trim, where flashing ties the wall to the roofline, and where hail or wind-driven debris strikes at an angle the eye skips past. A siding review documents the full envelope: panel condition, fastening, caulk joints, penetrations, and the transitions where siding meets roof, foundation, windows, and doors.
Every observation goes into a photo record you keep. If the siding is fine, that is the finding, and it is worth having on file before the next storm season.
- Hail bruising, cracking, and puncture patterns on vinyl, fiber cement, and wood, documented panel by panel.
- Moisture pathways. Failed caulk joints, gapped laps, and flashing transitions that let water behind the wall.
- Fastening and movement. Loose panels, nail pops, and oil-canning that signal installation or substrate issues.
- Trim and penetrations. Window surrounds, corner boards, vents, and hose bibs where most leaks actually start.
Three Honest Answers
Repair, replace, or leave it alone
Most siding calls have three honest answers, and one of them is often "nothing needs doing."
Damage on a few panels means repair, wide rot means replacing, and some jobs need nothing.
When repair is the right call
Localized impact damage on a few panels usually means repair. Widespread brittleness, chronic moisture staining, or substrate rot usually means replacement makes more financial sense than chasing repairs. And weathering that looks tired but sheds water fine often means the honest answer is paint or nothing at all.
When work is warranted, we manage it and you see the same documentation the crew works from. When it is not, we say so plainly.

What homeowners ask
Who does the installation
Who installs the siding?
Our crew does. We handle the condition review, the documentation you keep, and the installation, so one accountable team runs the project.
What does siding repair or replacement cost?
Costs vary with size, material, access, and condition; no honest number exists sight unseen. The Ask Shepherd AI assistant rolling out on this site will walk through the cost drivers for your specific situation, and a call today gets you a straight answer about scope.
Can hail damage siding without damaging the roof?
Yes. Hail strikes walls at an angle, so one or two elevations often take the hit while the roof and the other walls look untouched. That is why a siding review documents every elevation, not just the one facing the street.
Which siding materials do you work with?
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and traditional wood siding are all within scope for review and coordinated repair. Each fails differently, and the documentation reflects material-specific failure patterns.
Will you document siding damage for an insurance claim?
We document condition factually and thoroughly, and the record belongs to you. We also advocate for your rights as a policyholder: re-inspection requests, supplemental documentation, and appraisal are options your policy and Texas law may give you, and we make sure you know how to use them. Texas law bars a contractor from negotiating or settling the claim on your behalf, and we honor that line.
Should siding and roofing be replaced at the same time?
Sometimes. Shared flashing and trim lines mean sequencing matters, and combining projects can reduce total disruption. We lay out the sequencing tradeoffs for your specific house rather than defaulting to the biggest job.
