That loose vinyl panel isn’t just ugly. It’s letting water seep behind your siding where it can rot your sheathing and create mold problems you can’t see yet.
Every storm that hits Elwood makes the problem worse. What starts as a small crack becomes a major water infiltration point during the next nor’easter.
When we repair your siding properly, you get real protection. No more lying awake during storms wondering if water is getting into your walls. No more watching small problems snowball into expensive disasters.
Home Team Construction has been protecting Elwood homes through decades of hurricanes, nor’easters, and brutal winter storms. We know exactly what this weather does to siding.
We’re not the cheapest guys in town. What you get is work that actually lasts. We use materials that can handle 60-mph winds and driving rain. We show up when we say we will, and we don’t disappear after we cash your check.
Most contractors will tell you what you want to hear. We tell you what your siding actually needs. Sometimes that’s a simple repair. Sometimes replacement makes more sense. You’ll know the difference before we start any work.
We start by inspecting your entire siding system, not just the obvious damage. Loose panels, hairline cracks, failed caulking – we find it all before it becomes your next emergency.
You get a complete assessment in plain English. What needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what’s going to need replacement soon. We explain everything so you can make smart decisions about your home.
When we do the repair work, we match materials exactly and seal everything properly. Every connection gets checked twice. We don’t consider the job done until your siding can handle whatever weather comes next.

Vinyl siding crack repair, cedar shake replacement, warped panel fixes – we handle every type of siding damage that Elwood homeowners face. From minor wind damage to complete panel blowouts.
Storm season hits Long Island hard. We’ve repaired siding damaged by everything from hurricane-force winds to ice storms that snap cedar shakes like twigs. We know which repairs hold up and which ones fail when the next big storm rolls through.
But we also fix the everyday problems that turn into bigger headaches. That section of siding that rattles in the wind. The corner where water stains keep appearing on your interior wall. The aging caulk that’s letting moisture creep in behind your beautiful siding job.
Most siding repairs in our area run $3.50 to $27 per square foot, depending on your siding material and how complex the repair is. A typical repair covering 50 square feet costs between $175 and $1,350.
Vinyl siding repairs are usually on the lower end of that range. Cedar shake and fiber cement cost more because they require specialized tools and techniques. If we find water damage or structural issues behind the siding, that adds to the cost.
We give you a detailed written estimate before any work starts. If storm damage is involved, we’ll help you work with your insurance company to get proper coverage. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we’re halfway done.
If the damage covers less than 30% of your siding and the rest is in good condition, repair usually makes sense. But if you’re dealing with multiple problem areas, widespread fading, or siding that’s over 20 years old, replacement might be smarter.
Here’s the real test: if you’re calling for siding repairs every couple of years, it’s time to replace. You’re throwing good money after bad at that point.
We’ll walk your entire house and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes we can extend your siding’s life with targeted repairs. Other times, we’ll show you why replacement saves you money in the long run. You decide what makes sense for your situation.
If your siding is actively letting water into your house, we treat that as an emergency. We can usually get temporary protection in place within 24 hours, even during busy storm seasons.
Complete repairs typically take 1-3 days for most jobs. Larger projects or specialty materials might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. We keep common repair materials in stock specifically for storm damage situations.
The key is calling us as soon as it’s safe after a storm. Document the damage with photos for insurance, but don’t wait weeks to get repairs started. Water damage spreads fast once it gets behind your siding.
Call us immediately if you see loose or missing panels, cracks that go completely through the siding, or any soft, spongy spots. Dark stains around siding joints are a red flag that water is getting in.
After storms, check for panels that are bowed out, hanging loose, or have holes from flying debris. Even small damage can become a major water problem during the next heavy rain.
Inside your house, watch for water stains on walls near exterior siding, especially after storms. Peeling paint or wallpaper near outside walls can also signal siding problems. Don’t ignore these signs – small siding problems become expensive water damage fast.
Absolutely. We document all storm damage with detailed photos and written assessments that insurance companies need. We know exactly what adjusters look for and how to present damage in a way that supports your claim.
We’ll work directly with your adjuster, provide detailed repair estimates, and explain how the damage occurred. Most importantly, we’ll advocate for you to make sure you get fair coverage for proper repairs.
Remember, you have the right to choose your own contractor, even if your insurance company recommends someone else. We’ll work within your settlement amount and help you understand what’s covered versus what might be out-of-pocket.
We repair every type of siding common in Elwood: vinyl, cedar shake, fiber cement, aluminum, and composite materials. Each requires different techniques and tools to get lasting results.
Vinyl siding repair involves matching panel profiles and ensuring proper drainage behind the repair. Cedar shake work requires treating for moisture and rot issues. Fiber cement needs special cutting tools and dust control measures.
The trickiest part is often matching older siding colors and profiles. We work with suppliers who specialize in matching discontinued materials, and we have techniques to blend new repairs with weathered existing siding so the fix is nearly invisible.
