Replacing Siding Sheets
Siding sheets come in a variety of materials and sizes, including popular 4x8, 4x9, and even 4x10 sheets. Unfortunately, no single home improvement store carries every size and type, making sourcing specific siding sheets a challenge.
With over a decade of experience replacing siding sheets in the Kansas City area, we’ve developed a deep understanding of where to find and how to properly install all types of siding materials. This includes the critical step of installing a vapor barrier, which many companies often overlook.

Replacing Lap Siding
Lap siding is available in a range of materials and sizes, including popular options like composite (engineered wood) in single, double 5, and triple 4 profiles, beveled cedar, and smooth board lap siding. Unfortunately, some older styles are no longer manufactured, making replacements difficult to find.
Drawing on over a decade of experience in the Olathe area, we’ve mastered the art of sourcing and installing all types of lap siding. This includes crucial steps like vapor barrier installation and using high-quality OSB (as shown in the image), often overlooked by other contractors.
You can trust Home Pros Painting to provide honest, reliable service and quality workmanship. We’ll never pressure you into unnecessary repairs.
Replacing Trim Boards
Trim boards come in various materials and sizes, such as composite (engineered wood/Smartside), pine, cedar, and PVC.
Choosing the right material for each application is crucial. For instance, PVC is ideal for areas exposed to frequent water exposure (rain or sprinklers) as it won’t rot like wood. Pressure-treated wood, on the other hand, should never be used on surfaces that will be painted, as its preservatives can cause premature paint failure.

Moisture and Your Wood: The Hidden Culprit Behind Wood Rot
CAUSES OF WOOD ROT
Simple science: wood rot, also known as wood decay, is primarily caused by fungi. These organisms thrive in moist environments and feed on the cellulose and lignin in wood, breaking down its structure and causing it to deteriorate.
Street smarts: technically there's various categories of wood rot such as wet rot, dry rot, soft rot, and many more. It all comes down to moisture not being able to evaporate properly due to different factors. These factors could be due to a design issue (water coming off roof) or improper drainage or lack of paint protecting the wood.
HOW TO PREVENT WOOD ROT
Simple science: it's all about allowing the wood to dry properly to keep the fungi away. There's moisture in just about every material but the key is to keep it between the ideal numbers of 10% to 14% if possible. You definitely to keep it under 20%.
Street smarts: allowing the house to dry up requires good gutters and downspouts, adequate paint on the surface, proper drainage, replacing any cracked wood, caulking gaps, and avoiding water hitting the same spots like with a sprinkler system. If it's impossible to do the above then perhaps using a PVC material may do the trick.

Wood Rot Repairs Done Correctly
WE PROMISE NOT TO USE SCARE YOU INTO DOING MORE WORK THAN IS REQUIRED
Does your Kansas City home need some wood rot replaced??
Is your siding showing sign of swelling at the bottom edges??
Do you have holes in wood?
At Home Pros Painting And Home Repairs we offer more than just painting services.
If your home has wood rot, dry rot, splintered wood, holes in the siding, or any kind of damage we are the ones to call to get fixed ASAP. Our paint crews are capable of not only painting your house but also taking care of any exterior wood damage.
The cause of these issues is primarily wetness that doesn't allow the substrate to dry out enough to maintain proper moisture levels. All materials have some level of moisture but when that level gets too high for too long then it attracts fungi which start the process of decaying the wood.
Whether its fungi or wetness the bottom line is that it has to go. It needs to be removed from the house so it doesn't spread and create bigger structural problems.
The advantage of choosing Home Pros for your home repair is that you don't have to hire carpenters in addition to painters. Since we handle both kind of services you don't have to go through the hassle of getting multiple quotes and making time for people to show up to your house to provide estimates.
