Siding repair and replacement from the same GAF-certified crew that handles your roof — written quote, no pressure.
Siding is the shield between your home’s structure and South Texas weather — triple-digit summer heat, intense UV, Gulf moisture, and storms that can batter a house for hours at a time. Damaged or aging siding lets moisture into the walls, where it causes rot and mold, and compromises the insulation that keeps your energy bills in check.
Holmes Roofing & Exterior Solutions repairs and replaces siding for San Antonio-metro homeowners, including Hardie fiber-cement — a durable material that holds up to South Texas humidity and holds paint longer than most alternatives. We inspect the affected area, give you an honest read on repair versus replacement, and provide a written quote before any work begins.

Age alone doesn’t tell you whether siding needs attention — condition does. The most common signals we see on inspections are visible cracking, warping, or buckling boards; mold and mildew that returns after cleaning; discoloration or paint that bubbles and blisters; and moisture-related wood rot at seams or around windows and doors. Interior signs matter too — higher utility bills, cold spots near exterior walls, or water staining inside the home can all trace back to failing siding outside.
Cracked, warped, or buckling boards let moisture behind the siding before you notice a problem, and can spread if left alone.
Mildew that returns after cleaning, or soft, rotting wood at seams and corners, means moisture has already gotten in behind the surface.
Cold spots near exterior walls or an unexplained jump in your utility bill can point to failing siding and the insulation behind it.
Siding does three things at once: it protects the structure underneath from weather and pests, it wraps the insulation that keeps your energy bills in check, and it drives the first impression your home makes on the street.
On the weather side, siding keeps wind-driven rain from reaching the sheathing underneath it and blocks UV degradation through South Texas’ triple-digit summers. On the pest side, solid, continuous siding closes the gaps that termites and woodpeckers exploit before they can compromise the wall framing underneath — termites that eat structural wood and woodpeckers that drill nesting holes can both do real damage before you notice a problem. On the energy side, siding locks in the insulation layer that regulates indoor temperature — a failing siding system can add meaningfully to heating and cooling costs year-round.
Getting the right material installed correctly is what separates siding that protects a home for decades from siding that starts failing within a decade. Condition matters more than age — a well-maintained siding system can outlast a neglected one of the same material by years, which is exactly why an honest inspection matters more than a guess from the curb.
San Antonio homes use a mix of siding materials, each with different cost, maintenance, and lifespan trade-offs. Vinyl is generally the most affordable option and holds up reasonably well to heat, though it can become brittle over time. Fiber cement is more durable and fire-resistant, and holds paint longer than wood or vinyl in a humid climate. Wood siding offers the most natural look and can be painted or stained to any color, but it demands the most upkeep in a climate with intense UV and moisture cycles. Engineered wood composite splits the difference, mimicking a wood look with better moisture and insect resistance than solid wood.
Holmes works on siding for San Antonio-metro homes, including Hardie fiber-cement — a durable, fire-resistant material that holds paint longer than most alternatives and handles South Texas humidity well. Ask Joshua during your inspection for an honest read on what’s right for your specific home; the right choice depends on your budget, your neighborhood’s look, how much upkeep you want to do, and any HOA material restrictions.
There’s no verified market-standard price range for siding work across the San Antonio area, so we won’t invent one. What we can tell you is what actually drives the cost on any siding project: (1) material choice, since materials range from budget-friendly to premium; (2) the size and complexity of the affected wall area, including the number of stories, dormers, or bay windows involved; (3) the condition of the sheathing underneath the old siding, since moisture damage there adds to the scope; and (4) installation complexity — flashing, sealing, and corner trim details vary from house to house.
Holmes gives you a written quote after an on-site look at the actual condition of your siding — not a phone estimate. Be skeptical of any siding quote given without someone actually looking at your home first; no honest contractor can price siding work accurately without seeing the structure.
It depends on the cause. Texas homeowners policies typically cover siding damage from a sudden, unexpected event — a storm, hail impact, wind damage, or a fallen tree — but generally don’t cover damage from gradual wear or age-related deterioration. If a storm caused your siding damage, photographing it promptly, before and after any temporary repairs, improves your position with the carrier.
Holmes documents exactly what we find and can be present when your adjuster inspects the property so our findings get a fair look. We only document — we never file, negotiate, or guarantee the outcome of your claim. Some policies cover only the damaged sections of siding; others require matching replacement to maintain your property’s appearance. That decision, and the conversation with your carrier about what your specific policy covers, stays between you and your insurance company.
We look at the full run of siding on your home — not just the sections with obvious damage — checking for cracks, warping, gaps at seams and corners, and the condition of flashing and caulk around windows and penetrations. We check the soffits and fascia too, since water that gets behind failing siding often travels and shows up in the overhang system first.
Afterward, we tell you honestly which sections need attention, which can wait, and whether the condition of the sheathing underneath changes the scope of the project. If a full replacement is warranted, we walk you through your options; if targeted repairs are the right call instead, we tell you that too. You get our findings in writing, along with a written quote if work makes sense.
San Antonio’s climate is demanding on exterior building materials. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, and sustained UV exposure breaks down surface coatings and material integrity faster than in milder climates. The region’s hail season runs roughly March through June and can stretch into August, with hail capable of denting, cracking, or chipping siding depending on the material. Gulf humidity adds a moisture load that promotes mold growth at damaged seams and gaps.
San Antonio winters are mild, but periodic freeze events still affect siding — materials expand and contract differently through repeated thermal cycling, which stresses joints and fasteners over time regardless of which material your home has. Siding that’s installed correctly — with proper gapping, flashing, and material choice for this climate — holds up meaningfully longer than a cheaper installation cutting those corners.

For larger siding projects, ask Joshua whether Synchrony financing can apply to your job — so cost doesn’t have to mean choosing between a real fix and a patch job.
Holmes handles siding projects across the San Antonio metro from our Selma headquarters — the northeast side of the metro around the shop, the Hill Country edge north and west of the city, and the I-35 corridor down toward New Braunfels and San Marcos. Call (210) 440-1013, Monday-Saturday, 8am-8pm (closed Sunday), to schedule an on-site look at your siding.
Distance matters for siding repair more than people expect: a single damaged run is a short visit, and the closer the address, the easier it is to schedule that visit without bundling it into a bigger job. The nearest of those communities to our Selma shop are Universal City and Live Oak (about 2 miles), Garden Ridge and Schertz (about 4), and Converse and Cibolo (about 5–6). Boerne, Castroville and the Austin-corridor towns are a longer run, so those get booked to a confirmed window rather than squeezed into a metro day.
Distances are straight-line, computed from U.S. Census place coordinates.
Holmes works on siding for San Antonio-metro homes, including Hardie fiber-cement. If your home has a different material, ask Joshua during your inspection — he’ll give you an honest read on what makes sense for your specific siding.
It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. If a storm caused it, we document exactly what we find, and Joshua can be present when your adjuster inspects the property. We only document — we never file or negotiate your claim for you.
It depends on the material, the size of the affected area, and what’s underneath the siding. We don’t publish a price range because every home is different — we give you a written quote after a no-pressure, on-site look.
It comes down to how much of the run is affected and what’s underneath it. A few damaged boards in one area usually means a targeted repair; widespread cracking, rot in the sheathing behind the siding, or damage across a large section of the wall usually means replacement is the more sensible long-term call. We give you a straight answer after looking at the actual condition, not a guess from the curb.
