Allen, TX · Collin County

Siding for Allen homes that are ready for their second exterior.

Much of Allen was built in the 1980s, ’90s and 2000s. Many of those houses are on their second or third paint job, and some still have original hardboard or early composite siding that is near the end of its life.

What we see on Allen homes

  • Hardboard siding swelling and flaking along the bottom edges, near sprinklers and at downspouts
  • Rot at corner boards, window trim and the lowest course of siding
  • Paint that peels in the same spots every few years — a sign of moisture behind it
  • Siding in contact with soil, mulch beds or fence lines, with no clearance to dry out
  • Hail damage on older, more brittle materials

Repair or replace hardboard?

If the damage is limited to a few boards or one wall, we replace just those boards with a matching profile — fiber cement can often match the lap exposure of the original. When swelling shows up on several walls, patching becomes a cycle, and a full replacement with fiber cement or engineered wood is usually the better long-term value.

Quick check: press gently on the bottom edge of a board near a downspout. If it feels soft or crumbles, water has been getting in for a while.

Fix the cause, too

New boards will fail the same way if sprinklers keep hitting the wall or the siding sits in the mulch. Every Allen estimate includes clearances, flashing and drainage — not just the boards.

FAQ

Allen siding questions.

How do I know if my Allen home has hardboard siding?

Hardboard is common on homes of this era and often has an embossed woodgrain surface. The giveaway is how it fails: soft, swollen or flaking bottom edges. A short inspection will confirm what you have.

Can I just paint my old hardboard siding?

Sound, dry boards can be repainted and will last longer for it. Boards that are already swollen or soft cannot be saved with paint — they need to be replaced first.

Can you replace only the damaged boards?

Yes, when the damage is limited. We match the profile and exposure as closely as possible and repaint so the repair blends in. If damage is spread across the house, we will tell you honestly that replacement is the better value.

Hail just hit Allen. What should I do first?

Stay off ladders and the roof, photograph every wall, gutter and vent from the ground before anything is cleaned, note the storm date and check your policy. Then book a free storm inspection — our hail damage guide covers each step.
