Give us a call at (314) 618-8888 or send a message through the site, and we’ll schedule a free on-site inspection at your convenience. Our team will meet you at the property, walk the siding, and hand you a plain-English quote before we leave.
Water stains crawling down brick walls in a Dutchtown two-flat rarely start with the siding you see from the sidewalk. Those leaks usually begin at a cracked soffit board, rotted fascia, or split cornice trim tucked under the eave. That’s the kind of siding repair in St. Louis we handle every week at Top Quality Exteriors, where every call starts with a brick-home diagnosis, not a vinyl swap. Our crews trace the failure back to its source—often a parapet flashing or hidden wall junction—before recommending a foot of replacement material.
Once we’ve isolated the damage, we scope the fix to match the home. On a Bevo Mill bungalow, that might mean rebuilding a rotted eave return with primed cedar and touch-up paint that blends into the original brick line. On rear-addition wraps, we can swap panels or channel pieces without disturbing the front elevation—matching profile, gauge, and color trips up most contractors. If your rear addition still wears vinyl, we can refresh it entirely through our vinyl siding in St. Louis service, then back the repair with our 36-month workmanship warranty.
Most of the housing stock south of Delmar was built between the 1880s and 1940, meaning the original wood soffit boards, fascia trim, and cornice returns have been through 80-plus freeze-thaw cycles apiece. That’s why our siding repair calls in Tower Grove South, Bevo Mill, and Carondelet almost never involve a full vinyl replacement—they involve carpentry. We rebuild dormer cheeks, patch bargeboards, replace rotted crown molding under eaves, and reseat the aluminum coil stock that wraps modern fascia caps. On brick two-flats and rowhouses in Soulard, we frequently coordinate with a mason before we touch a nail: if the parapet coping is cracked or the mortar joints have opened, the underlying moisture will destroy new trim in two seasons flat. When the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado ripped through North City, a lot of the follow-up work we booked was storm damage siding repair in St. Louis on rear elevations, gable ends, and detached garages where flying debris punched through vinyl and Hardie panels.
Every siding repair we take on in the city follows the same five-step path, whether it’s a single soffit board on a Hill bungalow or a full cornice rebuild in Lafayette Square. Here’s exactly what to expect from the first call to final walkthrough.
We meet you at the home, often within 48 hours of the first call. We walk every elevation, check the eaves, and probe soffits for hidden rot. The inspection costs nothing upfront.
At the truck, we sort failing trim from failing structure. We photograph every rot pocket, split joint, and gap in the flashing. You get a plain-English scope with real numbers.
We map materials, staging, and access before tear-off starts. On a Soulard rowhouse with no driveway, that means alley staging. You sign off on the plan before we swing a hammer.
Carpenters strip failed trim, prime raw wood, and reinstall with stainless fasteners. We caulk seams, match paint, and haul debris off each day. Every panel matches the original.
We walk the finished work with you, checking every joint, seam, and touch-up. You sign off only when the work looks and feels right. Then our 36-month workmanship warranty starts.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022, and our owner and team bring over seven years of industry experience to every siding repair we take on. We’re a BBB-Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in both Missouri and Illinois, and our field crews carry general liability and workers’ comp on every ladder they climb. In St. Louis city, half the historic-district work sits on a party wall you share with a neighbor—reason enough to hire licensed pros.
Our team of 52-plus people means we don’t subcontract critical carpentry to whoever’s cheapest that week—the crew who shows up is on our payroll. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, which keeps us fluent in the materials we recommend. We also know how the City Building Division processes permits and when Preservation Board review is triggered in Lafayette Square. Hearth or GreenSky financing spreads the cost.
A single soffit board rebuild on a Dutchtown bungalow typically runs $400 to $900, materials and labor included. Full cornice restoration on a two-flat can climb into the $2,500 to $6,000 range depending on how much wood needs to be milled to match. Rear-addition vinyl panel swaps sit somewhere in the middle, usually $1,200 to $3,500 for a garage-side elevation. Every quote we hand you spells out labor, material, and dumpster costs separately, so there are no surprises.
When the damage tally starts creeping past what a repair can honestly cover, we’ll say so up front. On rear-addition wraps where more than about 40 percent of the field is failing, a fresh siding installation in St. Louis usually costs less over a ten-year window than chasing repairs season after season. We’ll price both options, walk you through the tradeoff, and let you decide. And every job—repair or replacement—leaves the site cleaner than we found it.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
