When your siding is cracked, faded, or peeling after years of coastal weather, your home loses both its look and its protection. Prado’s Home Improvement handles siding installation Belhaven NC homeowners can count on, installing and replacing residential vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding. We start by checking the exterior underneath, not just the panels you see, so moisture and damage get addressed before new siding goes on. If your home’s exterior is due for an update, we keep the process clear and start with a free estimate.
We handle the full exterior, from new siding on an addition to a complete tear-off and replacement on an aging home. Here is what we cover.
Siding shows its age in a few clear ways. We regularly replace exteriors dealing with:
When we pull old siding and find damaged wood or moisture behind it, that gets addressed before new siding goes on. Covering a problem up only hides it for a season.
We install three siding materials, each with its own balance of look, cost, and upkeep.
Belhaven sits right on the water, so homes here deal with high humidity, salt air, heavy rain, and the wind that comes with coastal storms. That mix is hard on an exterior, and it is why the material and the way it is installed both matter. Coastal Beaufort County falls in a higher wind zone, with design wind speeds around 110 miles per hour, so siding needs to be fastened to those local requirements. Just as important is what goes behind the panels. The North Carolina building code calls for a water-resistive barrier behind siding, plus flashing at windows, doors, and other openings, to keep water out of the wall. We build to those standards, so your siding protects the home, not just covers it.
