From Water Damage to a Fresh Facade: A Smart Siding Upgrade in Katy, TX

This siding repair started with a challenge: a poorly performing window unit had leaked down the side wall, destroying the remaining fiberboard siding. The lower half had already been replaced with Hardie siding, but the damage above called for a full upgrade. We removed the compromised material and installed new 12" Hardie Cedarmill siding to match. After a deep clean of the existing Hardie Plank and fresh coat of paint across the entire wall, the transformation is seamless—everything looks brand new.

We also helped install the new window unit and rerouted the drain line to prevent future water damage. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in long-term performance.

Why it matters: Fiber cement siding like Hardie offers superior durability, moisture resistance, and curb appeal—especially when installed with attention to drainage and detail.
