Common Problems with Niantic, CT Residential Homes
Wood Siding
Many of Niantic’s homes have either cedar shingles or cedar clapboard siding. Benjamin Moore’s historical color collection is a very popular color palette among our Niantic customers. Whilst wood siding provides great charm and beauty, it does need to be regularly maintained.
Mold and Mildew
These pesky microorganisms tend to take hold a little sooner on Niantic homes than areas further inland. We recommend pressure washing your wood siding with a mold- killing solvent. It is also a good idea to regularly trim the plant life on the shady sides of your home in order to allow them to dry out faster.
An overabundance of moisture does create rot issues as well. Our carpenters repair rotting wood on over half of the homes we paint. It is very important to never paint over rotted wood. Not only will the paint fail to adhere, but the rot never stops spreading. It is best to remove the rotten areas and replace with fresh wood.
PVC or Wood
The most common wood replacement areas are your trim boards. Many of our customers elect to replace any rotten trim boards with PVC or Azek trim. While it is more expensive, you will not have to replace it again. To help keep costs down, we leave the non-rotted wood in place and repair only the boards that are rotten.
Today’s synthetic trims are available to match many historic molding styles, so the replaced trim will not look any different than the wood we do not need to touch. If you plan to put your home on the market soon, it can be more cost effective to choose less expensive wood materials to replace your boards.
Aluminum Siding: Many Niantic homes built from the 1960s to the mid-1980s tend to have aluminum siding. Also, some of the older houses were re-sided with aluminum during this time period. Most people do not realize it, but aluminum siding is a great surface to paint! Over time the protective coating on aluminum siding breaks down and turns to dust (or chalk).
This is a good sign, as the coating is taking the beating from the sun, rain, and salt air instead of your home’s structure. However, it eventually needs to renew that protection. We can pressure wash and scrub off the chalkiness and apply two coats of top-quality paint. Your siding will be refreshed, and you can expect ten plus years of life out of your new coating. Aluminum does not experience the moisture pitfalls that wood has which means extra longevity for the paint job.
Vinyl Siding: Homes built in the mid-1980s to present day in Niantic are occasionally sided with vinyl siding. Like aluminum siding, vinyl siding is another great surface to paint. The one difference is that we need to be careful with the color chosen. Selecting the same color or lighter is perfectly fine. However, painting your siding with a darker color than the original may cause the siding to buckle. The darker color will absorb more heat than the siding was designed to handle. Sherwin Williams does have a family of vinyl-safe colors that allow some leeway in choosing darker colors. These colors are formulated to dissipate the heat from the sun.
Anything I felt needed a touch-up or a bit more work, there was never a problem to fix it. Supervisors kept in touch, which was great.

Dave and the two guys were nice young men and took their jobs very seriously. They were cooperative in telling me the best way to do the job for the price. I am very pleased with their work and will use them anytime.
