If you have spotted a soft fascia board, a hail-bruised panel, or a gap that opened after the last storm, let us look before the freeze-thaw cycle drives damage deeper. A Frontenac inspection is free, and the quote arrives within two days.
If you own a 1950s or 1960s custom home off Conway Road or along Geyer Road, you have probably noticed the signs already: soft spots in the fascia, paint peeling near the soffit returns, or a vinyl panel that no longer sits flush after the last hailstorm rolled through the neighborhood. Top Quality Exteriors handles siding repair in Frontenac for homeowners who expect the rot cut out cleanly, the substrate dried out, and the original profile matched so the fix disappears into the elevation rather than announcing itself from the curb.
Most of the calls we field here trace back to two causes: trapped moisture under heavy tree canopy on north-facing walls, and impact damage from the March 2024 baseball-size hail or the late-May 2025 EF3 tornado that swept mid-county. We open the wall, inspect the sheathing, replace any rotted wood trim with fiber-cement equivalents, and feather new courses into the existing run. If the inspection uncovers wind-lifted shingles or punctures above the wall, we loop in our storm damage roofing in Frontenac crew.
Frontenac repair work is not a panel swap; it is forensic carpentry on homes whose original cedar fascia, redwood soffit, or first-generation hardboard has spent four decades under shade and freeze-thaw. We start by mapping the failure: probing trim with an awl, pulling a corner board, and tracing whether the rot stops at the sheathing or continues into the rim joist. Behind newer Hardie installs we still see the same culprits—short flashing laps, missing kickout flashing at roof-to-wall junctions, and gutters dumping water behind the J-channel. Once the failure mode is documented, we tear back to sound substrate, install ice and water shield where the geometry calls for it, hang new fiber cement or matched vinyl, and finish with caulk joints sized to move with the panel. Where the original siding is discontinued, we mill custom trim or specify the closest current profile. For elevations that show storm bruising, we also schedule a roof inspection in Frontenac so the wall fix is not undone by a leak above it.
Every Frontenac project moves through the same five-step rhythm, whether you have a single rotted soffit return on a dormer or two full elevations of hail-bruised Hardie. Here is what to expect from the first call to the final walk-through.
We walk every elevation with you, probing trim and tapping panels for soft spots. I document the damage with photos and notes. You get a written scope before we leave the driveway.
I match your existing siding profile and color from the on-site sample. The quote breaks out trim, panels, and labor by elevation. You see warranty terms upfront before signing.
We source matched panels from the manufacturer or mill custom trim if the run is discontinued. A small sample goes on the wall for approval. Nothing ships until the match is right.
The crew tears back to sound substrate, dries the cavity, and adds new flashing where needed. We hang new courses and lock them to the existing run. Caulk and paint finish it.
We tour each elevation together and verify every detail before the dumpster leaves. A magnetic sweep clears the lawn of nails. Your workmanship warranty paperwork follows by email.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, and the team brings over 7 years of industry experience to every Frontenac wall we open. We are a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri, and carry general liability and workers comp coverage. That means when a crew member is up on a ladder against your slate roof or working off scaffolding around a limestone gable, the right paperwork is in place before the first nail comes out of the old fascia.
Beyond the credentials, we are James Hardie Alliance Program members and Owens Corning Preferred Contractors, so the panels and trim we install carry real manufacturer warranty support. Every repair also backs up to our 36-month workmanship warranty, with extended terms on selected product systems. We pull every Frontenac permit through the Building Official and build to the adopted 2021 International Residential Code so the work passes inspection.
A small fascia or soffit repair on a single Frontenac elevation typically runs in the low four figures, while a full gable rebuild after hail strikes or limb-fall punctures can reach five figures once matched panels, trim, and scaffolding are factored in. The largest cost drivers here are not the panels themselves; they are the carpentry hours behind them, the height of the wall, and how aggressively the original substrate has soaked up moisture under the tree canopy.
We also offer Hearth and GreenSky financing for qualified homeowners who would rather spread the work across a few seasons than write a single check. If the damage stems from the late-May 2025 tornado or the March 2024 hail event, we will document the scope for your carrier and meet the adjuster on-site. Missouri gives you up to 12 months on most policies to file a hail claim, so do not let a small soft spot turn into a full wall tear-off next spring.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
