Siding Trim Repair
Siding trim plays a crucial role in protecting your home from the elements, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where rain and moisture are prevalent. Over time, trim can become compromised due to exposure to the elements, leading to issues like wood rot, splits, and peeling paint. Fortunately, not all damaged siding trim needs to be completely replaced. In many cases, sections with gouges or rot can be repaired in place, extending the life of the trim and maintaining your home's aesthetic1. It's important to use corrosion-resistant nails and to seal all edges and cut ends to prevent moisture intrusion, which can exacerbate damage2. Properly repairing siding trim not only enhances the appearance of your home but also helps safeguard against further structural damage. If you notice signs of wear or damage on your siding trim, consider scheduling a professional evaluation to determine the best course of action for repair.

Corner boards are crucial for protecting the vulnerable edges of your home's siding from the Pacific Northwest's relentless rain and moisture. Over time, these boards can become damaged, leading to potential water infiltration and subsequent structural issues. Repairing corner boards involves careful preparation and precise execution to ensure a long-lasting fix. Start by removing any damaged corner boards, ensuring that you do not disturb the weather-resistive barrier beneath. When installing new boards, preassemble them for a crisp, straight corner and use rust-resistant nails to prevent future corrosion3. It's essential to prime and paint all surfaces thoroughly before installation to ward off moisture and rot4. Pre-drilling nail holes can help prevent splits, and liberal use of caulk ensures a weathertight seal. If you're dealing with inside corners, a simpler approach using smaller trim strips can suffice due to their reduced exposure to elements. Properly maintained corner boards are a vital component of your home's defense against the elements. If your corner boards are showing signs of wear, now's the time to schedule a repair and protect your home from the elements.
