Siding in Pacific, MO
Pacific siding takes a beating most homeowners only notice after the damage is done. The town sits hard against Interstate 44 where the old Route 66 corridor splits it, and the storm-facing walls along that open exposure catch the wind-driven hail that the Meramec River valley funnels through. When the federally declared March 2025 storms drove large hail and damaging winds across Franklin County and the towns just west of here, the homes that lost shingles in Pacific usually had cracked, dented, or holed siding on the wall facing the storm. That is the work we get on, from Union, the same day you call.
The siding that fails first in Pacific tells the age of the house. The older homes under the bluffs near historic downtown and along the limestone outcrops on Osage Street often wear chalky, brittle vinyl or painted wood that splits at every seam once a freeze-thaw winter has worked moisture behind it. The post-war ranches north of the railroad tracks off St. Louis Street and the newer builds climbing toward Gray Summit and the Highway N corridor each take the weather differently. We do not quote any of it off a satellite image. A real Emmendorfer pulls a section of your Pacific wall, looks at the sheathing and house wrap behind it, and tells you exactly what the old siding has been hiding before we write a number.
What our siding includes in Pacific
Re-siding a home is more than nailing new panels over old. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.
Tear off the old siding to the sheathing
We strip the failed siding down to the wall sheathing rather than burying it under new panels. Siding over siding traps moisture, hides rot, and voids most manufacturer warranties. Tearing off is the only way to see what the storms and freeze-thaw have done to the wall.
Replace rotten sheathing and trim
With the wall open we replace soft or rotten OSB and plywood sheathing, then fix or replace failed fascia, soffit, and corner trim. We talk you through what we find while the wall is exposed, the same way we narrate a roof tear-off, so nothing gets covered up without you knowing.
Install house wrap and flashing
A proper weather-resistive barrier goes on with taped seams, and we flash every window, door, and penetration before a panel touches the wall. This is the layer that stops Missouri wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw from finding its way behind the siding.
Install your chosen siding system
We hang a complete system from LP SmartSide, Royal, CertainTeed, or Georgia-Pacific, matched to your home and budget rather than to one supplier. The brand, profile, and color are on your written estimate before we order anything.
Trim, caulk, and clean to no footprint
We finish the corners, J-channel, and trim, seal the joints, and magnet-sweep the yard for nails and cut-offs. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and leave without a footprint on your property.
Pacific is the most storm-chased town we serve, and the reason is the same I-44 access that pulls metro siding crews across the county line after every hailstorm. They run a Pacific landing page, knock doors for a week, and leave. We come the other way, east on Highway 50 from our Union shop, and we put roofs, siding, and gutters on the same Pacific homes year after year. That matters most on a storm claim, because the river-valley wind that bruises a roof on the ridge usually hits the siding underneath it too. Tom Emmendorfer documents the roof and the storm-facing walls together, files one claim, and meets your Pacific adjuster on site so the full exterior scope gets on the record. One in-house family crew handles the whole wrap, so you are not chasing a roofer for the top and a stranger for the walls.
