The outside of your home takes the brunt of every summer storm, winter freeze and windy fall afternoon. Small problems like a loose siding panel, a rotting fence post or a clogged gutter can quietly let water in and turn into bigger repairs. Our exterior home repair service in Philadelphia and South Jersey catches those problems early and keeps your home looking its best.
Home Exchange is a family-run company with decades of experience, starting with full building renovations in New York City in 1986. We bring that background to every exterior job, so the work is well planned and built to handle the Mid-Atlantic climate.
Exterior home repair services we offer
Fence installation and repair
A solid fence gives you privacy, security and a safe space for kids and pets. We install and repair:
- Wood fencing
- Vinyl and PVC fencing
- Wrought iron fencing
- Chain link fencing
- Aluminum fencing
From resetting a leaning post to installing a new run along the property line, we make sure posts are set firmly and gates swing freely.
Siding, soffit and fascia repair
Siding protects your walls, while soffit and fascia seal the roof edge against water and animals. We repair and replace damaged sections of vinyl, wood, brick, stucco and stone siding, along with rotted or loose soffit and fascia.
Stucco repair
Stucco looks great and lasts for years when maintained, but cracks let moisture in behind it. We repair cracks and damaged areas and look for the source of the water so the problem doesn’t come back.
Gutter cleaning
Clogged gutters overflow against your siding and foundation. We clear leaves and debris and check that downspouts are flowing. For gutter repairs, sagging sections and leaks, see our roof repair service.
Power washing
Mildew, algae and grime build up fast on north-facing walls and shaded patios. We power wash siding, decks, fences, walkways and patios with the right pressure for each surface.
Awnings, lighting and seasonal help
- Awning installation to shade your deck or patio
- Holiday lighting along rooflines, railings and landscaping
- Winter preparation, including gutter guards, weather sealing and a check of the roof
- Snow removal to keep walkways and steps safe
Signs your exterior needs attention
Walk around your home a couple of times a year and look for:
- Peeling paint, soft wood or gaps around trim
- Cracked, warped or missing siding panels
- Water stains on siding below the gutters
- Fence posts that lean or wobble
- Cracks or bulges in stucco
- Wasps, birds or squirrels getting in at the roof edge
Older Philadelphia rowhomes and twins often have original wood trim and cornices that need regular care, while many South Jersey homes have vinyl siding that can crack in cold weather.
Our approach
- Inspect. We look at the problem area and the surrounding materials to find the real cause.
- Recommend. You’ll get a clear explanation and a quote before work starts.
- Repair. We arrive with the tools and materials needed and protect your landscaping and walkways.
- Finish and clean up. Repairs are blended in where possible, and debris is cleared away.
What affects the cost of exterior repairs
Each job is quoted individually. Key factors include:
- Height and access, since second-story and roofline work needs ladders or staging
- Extent of the damage, especially hidden rot behind siding or trim
- Materials, such as matching older siding or choosing a fence type
- Size of the area, from a few feet of fence to a full yard
