Siding Replacement in Johns Creek, GA

Siding Replacement for Johns Creek homes

Johns Creek splits into three rough eras. Rivermont, laid out around a golf course that opened in 1973, holds the oldest subdivision housing, with homes from the mid-1970s and early 80s whose original wiring, windows and wood siding are near the end of their life. The gated golf communities came next: St. Ives, on nearly a mile of Chattahoochee frontage, went up mostly in the late 80s and early 90s, and Country Club of the South followed through the 90s. Those are large estate homes, often brick or stone with stucco sections, tall foyers, two-story family rooms and full basements. Swim-and-tennis neighborhoods such as Seven Oaks, Ammersee Lakes and River Glen are more modest, mostly brick-front houses with lap siding on the sides and back. For painting, that means a lot of tall interior walls and stairwells, plus stucco and trim that need careful repair before a coat goes on. For remodeling, it means second-generation kitchens and baths, and basement finishing in houses that are big to begin with.

Siding Replacement on Johns Creek houses

Siding replacement in Johns Creek splits by neighborhood age. Rivermont's 1970s and early 80s homes often carry original wood or early hardboard siding that has been painted many times and is failing at the bottom courses. The swim-and-tennis houses in Seven Oaks, Ammersee Lakes and River Glen usually have brick fronts with lap siding on the sides and rear, where the bottom edges and shaded walls are the first to go. On the golf-community estates, stucco sections are common, and deciding whether to repair failed stucco or replace it with fiber cement is a bigger decision. Most replacements here move to fiber-cement lap with new trim.

What usually gets missed

Brick-front houses hide the worst wall. Owners notice the front, but the shaded back and side walls, often behind shrubs and near irrigation heads, are where the lap siding has been wet for years. We walk the full perimeter, check behind landscaping and test the sheathing at doors, windows and deck connections before scoping. On stucco, the key question is whether there is moisture damage behind it, which only probing shows.
