Siding Repair

Siding replacement, repair, and rot remediation for wood, fiber cement, and lap siding — matched to the existing profile and painted to disappear.

Service — Siding

Matched, not patched.

A siding repair that does not match is worse than a siding repair that has not been done — it announces the problem rather than resolving it. We match the profile, the reveal, the nailing pattern, and the finish to the surrounding material before a single board is removed.

In Houston's climate, siding failure is almost always a moisture problem. We address the moisture source — improper flashing, failed caulk, missing Z-bar at horizontal transitions — before repairing the siding. A siding repair that does not address the entry point will fail again within three years.

Homeowner concerns

Exterior remodeling has to stand up to Houston weather.

Outside work carries a different kind of pressure. The finished result needs to look good from the curb, but it also has to manage heat, sun exposure, drainage, moisture, and the long seasons where Houston outdoor spaces are used hard.

Nova approaches exterior projects as construction first and finish work second, because the details behind the surface decide how long the surface stays beautiful.

What changes

From exposed or underused exterior space to a home that feels composed outside.

Before

Many exterior projects begin with fading finishes, tired outdoor areas, poor shade, or details that were never built for Houston moisture and heat.

After

A careful exterior remodel gives the home a stronger presence and makes outdoor square footage easier to use, maintain, and enjoy.

  • Better curb presence
  • More usable outdoor space
  • Materials selected for local conditions
How we approach it

Three things that set this work apart.

Not every remodeler thinks this way. These are the commitments that separate a careful project from a forgettable one.

  • 01

    Source identified before repair begins.

    We probe for moisture content in the surrounding siding and sheathing before removing the affected boards. If the moisture source is active — a failed window sill, a missing kick-out flashing — we address it first.

  • 02

    Profile and reveal matched to the existing material.

    We source replacement material from suppliers who carry the matching profile. For discontinued profiles, we have moulding mills produce them. The repair should be invisible from the street.

  • 03

    Paint matched and blended across the repair zone.

    A new board painted with the exact same colour as weathered existing siding will not match — the existing has aged, faded, and chalked. We blend the paint repair across a wider area to produce a transition that is not visible.

Materials and craft

Exterior quality depends on the weatherproofing you do not see.

The visible finish is only the last layer. Fasteners, flashing, slope, caulk, coatings, and substrate repair determine how exterior work performs.

01

Moisture control

We look closely at penetrations, seams, thresholds, and slope so water is directed away from vulnerable parts of the house.

02

Heat-ready materials

Paint systems, decking, trim, and exterior assemblies are selected with Houston sun and humidity in mind.

03

Clean tie-ins

Transitions to the existing home are planned carefully so new work feels integrated, not attached as an afterthought.

07 — Process

Four phases.
Sixteen months, on average.

One crew per project, start to finish. The same people who frame your kitchen are the ones who set the tile and hang the cabinets. No handoffs. No strangers in month seven.

Phase 01 / 04
Brief
01

Brief

A long conversation, in your home. We walk every room, measure what matters, and listen before we offer a single idea. Observation first.

Weeks 1–4
02

Drawings

Full plan sets and shop drawings — every cabinet measured on site, every joint specified on paper. Nothing goes to production without a drawing.

Months 2–4
03

Build

Our in-house crew handles framing, cabinetry, tile, and finish work. Same people, start to finish. No handoffs, no surprises.

Months 4–14
04

Sign

We sign the inside of a drawer face when we leave. Initials, date, and a number you can call for the rest of the house's life.

Houston exteriors

Designed around shade, storms, and year-round outdoor use.

Houston homeowners ask a lot from exterior spaces: weekend gatherings, summer shade, storm-season durability, and curb appeal that still feels refined.

  • Houston
  • Cypress
  • Katy
  • Sugar Land
  • Pearland
  • The Woodlands

We discuss HOA expectations and permitting where the scope requires it.

Common questions

What clients ask us most.

Honest answers to the questions that come up in every first conversation about this type of work.

Consultation

A site walk before a scope.

Exterior projects need eyes on the property. We review exposure, access, drainage, tie-ins, and material goals before narrowing the work into a responsible plan.

  1. Walk the exterior and document existing conditions
  2. Discuss durability, shade, and finish goals
  3. Confirm scope, access, and approval path
