Siding Services

Siding is the layer standing between your framing and the weather. It absorbs the sun, deflects the rain, and takes the hail — and because it works from the outside in, problems tend to progress well past the visible stage before anyone acts.

Don Wojan Handyman handles siding repair and exterior improvement work for homeowners across North Dallas and Collin County. This is a veteran-owned business carrying more than twenty-five years of construction and remodeling experience, and we serve those two regions and nothing beyond them — Plano, Allen, McKinney, Wylie, Murphy, Princeton, Prosper, Celina, and the North Dallas neighborhoods included.

Damaged panels, loose sections, deteriorated boards, soft trim, and the fascia and soffit details that tie into the siding system all fall inside what we address.

Posts are where fences die. Wood set in soil or concrete rots at the transition point right at grade, where moisture and oxygen both reach it. A post can look perfectly fine at eye level and be nearly gone three inches below the dirt. That is why a fence section suddenly leans after years of standing straight, and why replacing pickets on a failing post accomplishes nothing.

Pickets tell a slower story. Cupping, splitting along the grain, cracked or broken boards after wind, and the graying that follows years of unprotected sun exposure all accumulate gradually. Bottom edges rot first where sprinkler spray and splash keep them damp. Rails sag between posts as fasteners loosen and lumber ages, which pulls the picket line out of alignment and makes the whole run look tired even where the boards are sound.

Gates cause more complaints than any other component. A gate carries its full weight on one side, swings dozens of times a week, and racks out of square as its hinge post shifts. Dragging on the ground, refusing to latch, sagging at the outside corner, and hinge screws pulling loose are all standard.

Storm damage rounds out the list. North Texas wind pushes hard on a solid privacy fence, and whole sections come down when a post was already compromised. Falling limbs take out runs as well.

Most siding work is sectional. Replacing the specific panels or boards that have failed while leaving sound material alone costs a fraction of a full re-side, and on a house where one elevation took the damage, that is usually the right call.

Panel and board replacement covers wood, engineered wood, fiber cement, hardboard, and vinyl siding in kind. Matching aged material is the limitation — profiles get discontinued and colors fade, so new material rarely blends invisibly. We tell you what to expect before starting rather than after.

Where rot has progressed past the siding, we address the sheathing and framing beneath it. Covering compromised structure with new siding hides the problem without solving it, and we will say so directly if that is what we find.

Trim work includes fascia, soffit, corner boards, window and door casing, frieze and band boards, and the caulk joints that keep those transitions watertight. Loose panel resecuring, fastener correction, and reflashing at problem areas round out the repair list.



We also perform restoration work on exteriors damaged by storms, hail, or extended deferred maintenance, and emergency service is available outside standard weekday hours when a failure needs to be secured before more water gets in.

The most useful measure of a contractor is what previous customers report, and the comments we receive circle the same practical points every time: arriving when the appointment said, staying in touch rather than going silent mid-job, explaining the real cause of a problem without burying it in trade language, and clearing the site before leaving. Customers have noted that Don's years as an insurance adjuster at Allstate and State Farm proved genuinely useful when their repair intersected with a claim, and several mentioned work finishing sooner than they had braced for. That record keeps growing as we serve more households across North Dallas and Collin County, and we would rather build it honestly one exterior at a time than inflate it. If we work on your siding, your candid assessment is welcome.

Siding questions in this market usually come down to hail, heat, or hidden water. Below are the ones homeowners in Plano, McKinney, and the North Dallas neighborhoods raise most often.



Anything not covered here belongs in your quote request. When a targeted repair beats a full replacement on value, that is the recommendation you will get.

Use the form to describe what is happening with your exterior. Note which elevation is affected, what type of siding the home has if you know it, and what you are seeing — cracked panels, loose sections, soft or rotted boards, damaged trim, or storm damage. Mention how long it has been that way, since duration affects how far the moisture likely traveled.

Photos matter more here than almost anywhere else. A wide shot of the affected wall, a close-up of the damage, and a picture at grade level where the siding meets the ground tell us most of what we need to plan the work. We will confirm your address is in North Dallas or Collin County, review your details, and set a time to inspect the exterior in person. Estimates are free, and if the honest answer is that eight panels and some caulk will resolve it, that is exactly what we will quote.
