Protection That Holds Up Against the Coast

Siding in Gulfport takes direct hits from wind-driven rain, salt spray, and UV exposure that cracks vinyl, warps wood, and loosens fasteners over time. You notice it when water stains appear on interior walls, when sections buckle after a storm, or when the paint on hardboard siding starts peeling in sheets. Gerard Construction LLC repairs and replaces damaged or aging siding using materials rated for coastal exposure and installation methods that keep water out and allow the wall assembly to dry. The difference shows in how tight the seams sit and how long the siding holds its color and shape.

The work includes replacing cracked or rotted panels, re-fastening loose sections, wrapping corners and window trim, and installing new siding over properly flashed and ventilated sheathing. In Gulfport, moisture control is critical, so the crew checks for water intrusion behind the old siding, repairs any sheathing damage, and installs a weather barrier before the new material goes up. Siding replacement also improves curb appeal by updating the home's exterior with consistent color, clean lines, and modern profiles.

If your siding is damaged, faded, or letting water behind the walls, reach out to discuss repair or replacement options in Gulfport.

A siding project in Gulfport begins with removing damaged sections, inspecting the wall sheathing for rot or water damage, and making any necessary repairs before new siding is installed. You will see the crew pry off old panels, check the condition of the house wrap or felt paper, and replace any sheathing that has delaminated or softened. Flashing is installed around windows, doors, and corners to direct water away from the framing.

Once the wall is prepped, new siding goes up starting from the bottom and working upward, with each course overlapping the one below and fasteners placed to allow for expansion and contraction. You will notice how uniform the reveal is and how cleanly the corners and trim pieces fit together. Properly installed siding does not gap, ripple, or blow off in the next windstorm.
