Repair What You Can, Replace What You Must
Original wood siding and trim can often be saved. We remove only the boards that are rotted, mill or source matching profiles, prime every cut edge and repaint. When damage is widespread, we suggest replacements that echo the original look rather than defaulting to whatever is cheapest.
Siding Profiles That Fit Traditional Homes
- Board-and-batten in fiber cement for a farmhouse look without the rot risk of raw wood
- Smooth or wood-grain lap siding with wider exposure to match older homes
- Shingle or shake accents for gables

Roofs That Suit the Architecture
A standing seam metal roof is right at home on a farmhouse and sheds heavy rain quickly. Dimensional shingles in weathered tones work well on cottages and traditional designs. Either way, we pay attention to details like drip edge color, ridge style and how the roof meets porch ceilings. Flora homeowners can compare options on our Flora metal and shingle roofing page.
Porches, Columns and Trim
Porches take the brunt of sun and blowing rain. We repair or replace rotted decking, column bases, beams and beadboard ceilings, then seal and paint so the porch is ready for many more summers of use.
Our Process for Older Homes
- Careful inspection, including probing trim and porch framing
- A written plan that separates preservation, repair and replacement
- Material samples so you can see profiles and colors on the house
- Clean, protected job sites and a final walk-through together
Common Questions
Can you match old wood siding or trim?
Often, yes. Many common profiles are still available, and others can be closely matched. We show you the replacement piece before installing it.
How do I know if my Flora home needs exterior work?
Peeling paint that returns quickly, soft wood at sills and porch posts, stains on porch ceilings and loose siding are all signs worth checking out.
What does exterior work cost on an older home?
It depends heavily on how much hidden repair is needed and what materials you choose. A free inspection lets us give you an itemized estimate.
Are there warranties on repair work?
Yes. Workmanship coverage and any manufacturer warranties are spelled out in writing with your estimate.
