Wood Siding Repairs We Offer
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to wood siding repair. Each home and each board tells its own story. Here are the most common siding repair services we offer in Edmonton:
- Repairing or replacing damaged or rotten wood siding boards: Exposure to moisture, snow, and sun causes wood to deteriorate over time. We carefully cut out and replace damaged boards with new wood that matches the existing grain and color, then prime and paint to protect the surface.
- Filling and sealing cracks, holes, and splits: Small gaps and holes might seem minor but can let moisture in and lead to bigger issues. Using durable exterior-grade fillers and sealants, we close up these openings and smooth the surface before painting.
- Reattaching loose or warped siding boards: Boards that have come loose or warped can break the water barrier on your home’s exterior. We reattach or replace these boards, restoring proper alignment and ensuring a tight, weather-resistant seal.
- Addressing issues caused by pests, such as woodpeckers or insects: Woodpeckers and bugs like carpenter ants or termites love wood siding. We inspect for infestation or damage, remove affected areas, treat the surface, and make repairs to prevent future issues.
- Restoring the appearance through painting or staining: After structural issues are fixed, we bring your siding back to life with professional painting or staining. Whether you’re updating the color or preserving the natural wood grain, our finishes enhance durability and style.

Sometimes repair isn’t enough. If you’re seeing widespread deterioration, multiple areas of rot, or wood that’s too far gone, replacement is the smarter choice. Full siding replacement not only fixes visible issues—it gives your home a clean slate. We remove the old wood, inspect for underlying water or insulation problems, and install brand-new siding that’s properly sealed and primed.
Choosing the right wood for tough climate matters. We guide homeowners toward durable options like cedar or engineered wood, known for their strength and longevity. Our installation process focuses on both durability and design, and we always finish the project with a paint or stain that enhances weather resistance.
Signs That Your Wood Siding Needs Repair or Replacement
Not sure whether your siding needs a touch-up or a total redo? Here are the most common signs to watch for:
- Cracks, splits, or holes in the boards
- Warping or bulging wood
- Peeling paint or stain
- Soft, spongy spots or visible rot
- Mold, mildew, or water stains
- Fading, chalky surfaces
- Gaps between boards or near corners/windows
- Evidence of pest activity (sawdust, small holes, bird pecking marks)
Catching these issues early can often mean the difference between a simple repair and a full replacement.
FAQs
How Much Do Wood Siding Replacement and Repairs Cost?
Costs depend on the extent of the damage, the type of wood, and the finish. Minor repairs and painting might start around a few hundred dollars, while full siding replacement can range from several thousand and up. We provide detailed, no-pressure quotes after an inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Can You Replace Just Pieces of Siding?
Absolutely. If the damage is isolated, we can replace individual boards instead of redoing the entire wall. Matching the grain and color is key, and we have the tools and know-how to blend repairs seamlessly.
How Many Years Does Wood Siding Last?
With proper maintenance, high-quality wood siding can last 20 to 40 years or more. Regular painting or staining, along with prompt repairs, can significantly extend its life.
What Is the Best Material to Replace Wood Siding?
If you love the look of wood but want lower maintenance, engineered wood is a popular upgrade. It offers a similar aesthetic but with better moisture resistance. Cedar is also a strong option—naturally resistant to rot and insects.
How Often Should Wood Siding Be Replaced?
There’s no set timeline, but most wood siding lasts 25–30 years with good care. Replacement is often needed when repairs become frequent, or when the siding shows signs of widespread rot, warping, or moisture damage.
