Protect Your Home From Water and Weather

Professional siding installation and repair services in Columbia, South Carolina

When your siding starts to crack, warp, or pull away from the wall, water can work its way behind the surface and cause damage you will not see until it is already serious. Homes in Columbia face intense summer sun, heavy rain, and high humidity, all of which break down older siding materials over time. You may notice discoloration along seams, soft spots near ground level, or sections that sound hollow when tapped.


Roofit Restoration handles both full siding installations and targeted repairs depending on what your home needs. If only a few panels are damaged, replacing those sections can stop moisture from getting in and restore the appearance of your exterior. For older homes where the siding has failed in multiple areas, a complete installation gives you a fresh start with modern materials that hold up better against Columbia weather conditions.


If you are noticing signs of siding failure or want an assessment of your current exterior, reach out to Roofit Restoration to schedule a visit in Columbia.

How the work gets done and what changes

The crew starts by removing damaged or outdated siding panels and checking the sheathing underneath for rot or moisture damage. In Columbia, homes built before the 1990s sometimes have older board sheathing that needs reinforcement or replacement before new siding goes on. Once the surface is prepared, new panels are installed with proper flashing around windows and doors to keep water out.


After the work is finished, you will notice a tighter seal around your home, no more drafts along exterior walls, and a cleaner appearance with consistent color and texture. The siding will sit flat against the wall with no gaps or warping, and trim pieces will fit snugly around openings.


The type of siding you choose affects both the timeline and the maintenance requirements. Vinyl siding is lightweight and does not need painting, while fiber cement offers better impact resistance and holds up longer in direct sun. Both options work well in humid climates, but fiber cement requires professional cutting and fastening to avoid cracking during installation.
