Siding repaired, then a brown ranch repainted gray and white

Before any paint, a damaged section of panel siding and part of the front horizontal siding were replaced so the new finish would sit on a sound surface. The home then went from maroon and gold to gray with white trim.

Starting point

  • Maroon panel siding with gold-painted trim.
  • A section of 4×8 panel siding and part of the front horizontal siding were damaged.

What we did

  • Damaged 4×8 siding panel and horizontal front siding replaced.
  • Seams, cracks and fastener holes caulked and filled.
  • Siding repainted gray; trim, doors and garage door painted white.

Preparation

  • The damaged siding section was cut out and replaced with new panel before painting.
  • Windows were taped and covered with film; seams and nail holes were caulked and filled (visible as white spots on the brown siding).
  • ACS’s gallery notes also list power washing, scraping loose paint and priming.

Replacing the siding first

Paint won’t fix damaged siding. It only hides it for a season. Replacing the failed section first meant the gray finish went onto a flat, sound surface that matches the rest of the wall.
