Need siding repair in San Antonio? We fix cracks, holes, water damage, and warped panels across all siding types. Most repair jobs cost $470-$550 in the San Antonio area, depending on damage extent and material type.

Common Siding Problems in San Antonio
Heat Damage & Warping San Antonio’s intense summer heat warps vinyl siding that was installed too tight or is lower quality. We see this constantly in homes built in the 2000s with cheap vinyl. The panels buckle, creating gaps where water gets in.
Hail Damage Spring storms bring hail that cracks fiber cement and dents vinyl. Even small cracks let moisture penetrate. We assess storm damage and work with insurance companies if you’re filing a claim.
Woodpecker Holes Woodpeckers love fiber cement siding. They peck holes looking for insects or creating nesting cavities. One hole becomes multiple holes fast. We patch them properly and can install deterrents.
UV Fading & Brittleness Years of Texas sun fade colors and make vinyl brittle. Old, sun-damaged vinyl cracks easily. Sometimes repair isn’t worth it—replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you honestly which option is better.
Water Damage Behind Siding Often, visible damage is just the symptom. Water intrusion behind siding causes rot in the sheathing and framing. We remove damaged sections, assess underlying damage, and fix everything properly.
Our Siding Repair Process
1. Damage Assessment We inspect the damaged area and surrounding sections. Often, damage extends beyond what’s visible. We check for water stains, soft spots, and rot behind the siding.
2. Material Matching Finding exact color and style matches for older siding can be tricky. Manufacturers discontinue products, and UV exposure changes colors. We do our best to match or offer creative solutions like accent walls if matching is impossible.
3. Repair or Replace Decision Sometimes spot repairs make sense. Other times, replacing an entire wall or section looks better and costs about the same. We give you options with honest pricing for each.
4. Professional Repair Work We remove damaged sections, repair underlying issues, and install new materials with proper overlap and fastening. Siding needs to breathe—we leave appropriate gaps for expansion.
5. Seal & Finish All seams get proper caulking and flashing to prevent future water intrusion. We match caulk color to your siding for a clean finish.

When to Repair vs. Replace
Repair makes sense when:
- Damage is isolated to one area
- Your siding is less than 15 years old
- We can match materials reasonably well
- Underlying structure is sound
- You’re planning to sell soon and need a quick fix
Replacement makes sense when:
- Damage is widespread across multiple walls
- Your siding is 20+ years old
- Materials are discontinued and can’t be matched
- You’ve had multiple repairs in recent years
- Water damage is extensive
We’ll shoot straight with you. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why.
Insurance Claims for Siding Damage
Hail and storm damage are often covered by homeowners insurance. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can help document damage for claims.
Bring us your adjuster’s estimate. We’ll review it, point out anything they missed, and handle the paperwork. Insurance companies sometimes lowball initial estimates—we make sure you get proper coverage.
Emergency Repair Services
Got exposed sheathing from storm damage? Water actively leaking in? We offer emergency tarping and temporary repairs to prevent further damage while we order materials and schedule permanent fixes.
Call us immediately if you have:
- Large sections of siding blown off
- Visible water intrusion
- Exposed house wrap or sheathing
- Structural damage
Materials We Repair
Vinyl Siding Easiest to repair if we can match color and style. Vinyl panels interlock, so we can pop out damaged sections and install new ones. Biggest challenge is color matching on faded siding.
Fiber Cement Siding Requires cutting and fitting. Cracks can be filled, but large damage needs replacement. We seal all edges carefully because fiber cement wicks moisture if not properly sealed.
James Hardie Siding Similar to fiber cement. James Hardie products are easier to match since they’re still widely available. We’re certified James Hardie installers.
Wood Siding Less common in San Antonio, but we repair cedar and wood siding. Rot is the main issue. We replace rotted boards and treat surrounding areas to prevent spread.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you repair my siding?
Most repairs take 1-2 days once materials arrive. Emergency repairs happen within 24-48 hours. Material ordering can take 1-2 weeks if we need special-order items to match your existing siding.
Will repaired sections look different from the rest?
We do our best to match, but UV fading makes perfect matches tough on older siding. New vinyl will be brighter than 10-year-old faded vinyl. Sometimes strategically replacing an entire visible wall section looks better than obvious patches.
Can I just repair it myself?
You can, but there are tricks to proper installation. Vinyl needs specific nail placement and spacing. Fiber cement requires special blades and fasteners. And underlying damage often goes unnoticed without experience. We’ve fixed plenty of DIY repairs that created worse problems.
Do you offer warranties on repairs?
Yes. Labor warranty is typically 1 year. Materials carry manufacturer warranties. We provide warranty details in writing.
What if damage is worse than it looks?
We give you a call before proceeding if we discover additional damage. You get updated pricing and can decide whether to proceed. No surprise bills.
