Siding Repair, Trim and Fascia in Beaumont, TX

Not every wall needs redoing. A wind-torn section of vinyl after a squall, a soft corner board on a Nederland ranch, fascia rotted behind a gutter that overflowed through three storms: these are repairs, they are priced as repairs, and none of them is on the list of work that needs a windstorm certificate. This page is for them.

What Gets Repaired

Wind-torn siding

A run of vinyl unlocked and gone after Laura, or a few wood boards split by a limb. Matched, relocked, or replaced course by course.

Trim and corners

Window trim, corner boards and the band at the bottom of a wall, face-nailed in the 1950s and soft at the ends. Replaced in wood, PVC or fiber-cement trim, primed on the cuts.

Fascia and soffit

The board the gutter hangs from and the panel under the eave. Rotted fascia is found when a gutter sags; soffit damage is found when squirrels move in.

Where a Repair Stops Being One

TWIA's list of work requiring a Certificate of Compliance names “re-siding a significant portion of an exterior wall.” A repair of a few boards or a torn run is not that. A repair that turns into a whole elevation might be, and in Jefferson County the contractor should say so before it grows rather than after. On the wood-siding side that conversation is on the replacement page; on the roofing side it is the same conversation on the roof repair page.

Applies in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland, Port Neches and Groves. In Vidor, Orange, Bridge City and Lumberton there is no windstorm inspection requirement; see those city pages.

Fascia, Gutters and the Roof Edge

Fascia rot in Beaumont is almost always a drainage story: a gutter that overflows behind itself in a downpour, or a roof with no gutters dripping along the fascia for thirty years. Repairing the board without fixing the water is a repeat visit. The gutters page covers that end, and because the drip edge above the fascia is part of a roof's inspected edge detail, fascia work is easiest scheduled with a re-roof if one is coming.

Siding Repair: Questions

Can a small section of vinyl be matched?

Usually, if the product line is still made or the contractor can find a close profile and color. Sun-faded vinyl will not match exactly; a repair on a shaded wall shows less.

Does trim repair need a permit or an inspection?

Not a windstorm inspection; trim and small siding repairs are not on TWIA's list. Whether the City of Beaumont or a Mid-County city wants a permit for a given job is confirmed by the contractor for the specific address; this site does not quote permit rules.

Is soft trim a sign the siding is going too?

Sometimes. Trim fails first because it is face-nailed and end-grain up. The contractor does the screwdriver test on the bottom courses while there and tells you.
