Siding Repair Services Hempstead - R&M Roofers LLC
Three weeks ago, Mrs. Johnson from Baldwin called us in a panic. A massive storm had ripped off half her vinyl siding, leaving her home exposed to the elements. “I don’t know who to trust,” she told us. “Everyone I call either doesn’t show up or quotes me prices that seem way too high.”
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. After 12 years serving Long Island homeowners, we’ve seen how stressful siding damage can be. That’s why at R&M Roofers LLC, we treat every siding repair job like it’s our own home. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, worn-out panels, or mysterious leaks behind your walls, we’ve got the experience to fix it right the first time.
Emergency Siding Repair Hempstead
When your siding gets damaged, waiting isn’t an option. Water damage starts within hours, and what begins as a small repair can turn into a major renovation project fast. We’ve responded to emergency calls in Garden City, West Hempstead, and Uniondale at all hours because we know how quickly things can go from bad to worse.
Last month, we helped a family in Franklin Square whose aluminum siding buckled during a heat wave. The homeowner waited two weeks to call someone, and by then, moisture had gotten behind the panels and started rotting the underlying structure. What could have been a $800 repair turned into a $3,200 job.
Our emergency siding repair team carries replacement panels for most common siding types right on our trucks. We can usually patch temporary protection the same day you call, then return within 48 hours for permanent repairs.
Vinyl Siding Repair
Vinyl siding is everywhere in Hempstead for good reason – it’s affordable and low maintenance. But when it cracks, fades, or pulls away from your house, it looks terrible and stops protecting your home properly. We’ve replaced thousands of vinyl panels across Nassau County, and honestly, most damage we see could have been prevented with simple maintenance.
Here’s what we tell every homeowner: walk around your house twice a year and look for loose panels, cracks near windows, or sections that seem to be pulling away. These small issues are cheap to fix but expensive to ignore. A single loose panel can let moisture behind your siding, causing mold and structural damage that costs thousands to repair.
We stock vinyl siding in the most common colors and styles used in Long Island homes. Often, we can match your existing siding perfectly, even if it’s 10-15 years old. When we can’t find an exact match, we’ll show you options for blending repairs so they’re barely noticeable.
Wood Siding Repair
Cedar shakes and wood siding give Hempstead homes that classic look, but they need more attention than other materials. We’ve worked on beautiful Tudor homes in Garden City and Cape Cods in West Hempstead where the original wood siding was still gorgeous after 50 years – because the owners took care of it.
Wood siding problems usually start small. A loose board here, some peeling paint there, maybe a section where the caulk has cracked. But wood is organic, and once moisture gets in, rot spreads fast. We’ve seen entire walls need replacement because homeowners ignored warning signs for too long.
The good news? Most wood siding issues are fixable if you catch them early. We can replace individual boards, repair rotted sections, and match stains and paints to blend seamlessly with your existing siding. The key is acting quickly when you notice problems.
Aluminum Siding Repair
Aluminum siding was the go-to choice for Long Island homes in the 70s and 80s, and it’s still protecting thousands of houses across Nassau County today. It’s durable stuff, but it has unique challenges. Dents from hail or flying debris, fading from decades of sun exposure, and loose panels from house settling are the most common issues we handle.
The tricky part about aluminum siding repair is that older panels can be hard to match. Manufacturers have changed their sizing and color formulations over the years. But we’ve been doing this long enough to know which suppliers still carry close matches for vintage aluminum siding, and we’ve developed techniques for blending different shades so repairs look natural.
One advantage of aluminum is that individual panels are usually easy to replace without disturbing surrounding areas. We can often complete repairs in a few hours, getting your home protected again quickly.
Fiber Cement Siding Repair
Fiber cement has become really popular in newer Hempstead developments, and for good reason. It looks like wood but handles weather better and resists insects and fire. However, it’s not indestructible. Impact damage, improper installation, and foundation settling can cause cracks and gaps that need professional attention.
The biggest mistake we see with fiber cement repairs is homeowners trying to fix cracks with regular caulk. Fiber cement expands and contracts with temperature changes, so repairs need to be done with materials that can flex. Regular caulk will crack again within months, but proper repair compounds can last for decades.
We use manufacturer-approved repair methods and materials for all fiber cement work. This protects your warranty and means the repair will perform like the original siding for years to come.
Siding Damage Assessment
Not sure if your siding damage is serious? Here are the warning signs we tell homeowners to watch for:
Water stains on interior walls often mean moisture is getting behind your siding. This is always serious and needs immediate attention to prevent mold and structural damage.
Loose or missing panels create entry points for water, insects, and small animals. Even if the damage looks minor, it can lead to major problems if ignored.
Cracks wider than a pencil line need professional evaluation. Small cosmetic cracks might be okay, but larger gaps can let in moisture and compromise your home’s insulation.
Fading or chalking might seem like just a cosmetic issue, but it actually means your siding’s protective coating is failing. This makes it more vulnerable to moisture damage and reduces its lifespan.
Warping or buckling usually indicates moisture problems or improper installation. This type of damage tends to get worse over time and can affect your home’s energy efficiency.
Storm Damage Siding Repair
Long Island weather can be brutal on siding. We’ve repaired damage from nor’easters, hurricanes, hail storms, and freak wind events that seem to happen more often these days. The key to storm damage repairs is acting fast and documenting everything for insurance purposes.
After any major storm, walk around your house and take photos of any visible damage. Look for missing panels, dents, cracks, and areas where siding has pulled away from the house. Inside, check for water stains on walls or ceilings that might indicate hidden damage.
We work with all major insurance companies and can help document damage for claims. Often, storm damage is more extensive than it appears on the surface, and insurance adjusters rely on professional contractors to identify all the issues that need addressing.
