Vinyl Siding Repair

Cracks and holes can sometimes form on vinyl siding due to either extremely hot temperatures, or physical punctures. If the crack is small, there is a way to repair it without having to replace the entire panel.

Small repairs require you to purchase a zip tool which will allow you to remove the damaged section. Zip tools can be found at any local hardware store. Once the piece is removed you will need to coat the back of the crack with PVC cleaner. Next, use PVC cement to attach a spare piece of siding to the back of the crack.

Larger holes will most likely require you to replace the entire panel. Hopefully you have left over panels or the name of the manufacturer. Often times, the new siding replacement will not match the worn siding that you currently have up. If the damaged panel is in the front of your house, you may have a problem.

For this reason, it is common for a siding company to take a panel from a more secluded area of your home and use that panel to replace the damaged panel. This way the new panel, that doesn’t match well, can be put back in place of the secluded panel and kept out of vision.
