Look beyond peeling paint
Soft board ends, split wood, loose fasteners and swollen edges are worth a closer look.

Recognizing damage
When siding needs more than a new finish
Notice moisture patterns
Stains under gutters or peeling that keeps returning near joints may mean repeated wetting, not just worn paint.
Repair planning
A sound repair starts beneath the coating
Assess the cause
Inspect damaged boards and nearby trim, gutters and flashing for moisture clues.
Define the repair
Separate small defects in sound wood from decayed sections that need replacing, and check for hidden damage.
Prepare for finishing
Use compatible materials, keep drainage paths open and let the wood dry properly before the agreed coating work.
Local considerations
Respect existing details and drying conditions
On older Druid Hills homes, the profile and size of replacement boards affect the character of the exterior. Check the county’s historic-review requirements before changing materials or architectural details.
On wooded Chelsea Heights lots, siding can stay shaded and dry slowly. Rain, temperature and surface moisture should decide when finishing happens.
Defining your project
Know what your estimate includes
Cost depends on how many boards are damaged, matching material, access to upper stories, and any sheathing or trim damage found during removal. Fixing moisture sources and the amount of prep or finishing also affect the scope.
Ask for an itemized estimate that lists necessary repairs apart from optional wider repainting or staining.
Before you inquire
Bring clear observations, not a ladder
After it rains, photograph splits, peeling areas and gutter stains from the ground. Keep shrubs from touching the siding. Don’t paint over soft or damp wood, and leave high inspections and board removal to a professional.
