10+ Years Protecting Homes From Roof to Ground
Siding Is Your Wall's First Line of Water Defense
Siding is not decoration. It is the layer that keeps water where it belongs, on the outside of your house.
Rain Drainz is a full service exterior water management company. We handle water from roof to ground. The roof sheds it, the gutters catch it, the siding blocks it at the wall, and the drainage system carries it away from the foundation. Siding is one link in that chain, and it is the link this page covers.
That roof-to-ground approach matters when something goes wrong. Water stains near a wall corner can start at the siding, the flashing above it, or a failed gutter. Because Rain Drainz exterior water management handles the whole path, we find the actual source instead of just treating the symptom. If the problem starts higher up, our roof replacement team handles it. Soffit and fascia sit where the roof meets the wall, and we service those too.
One team. One plan. One company accountable for keeping water out of your walls.
What Siding Services Does Rain Drainz Offer?
Rain Drainz offers six core siding services across Wilmington and New Castle County: siding replacement, siding repair, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, James Hardie siding, and CertainTeed siding. Every job is handled by one local exterior team, from first estimate to final panel.
Siding Replacement
When siding is faded on every wall, warped in the sun, or letting water through in more than one spot, patching stops making sense. A full replacement gives your home a new protective shell and a new look at the same time. We replace siding in vinyl and fiber cement, including James Hardie and CertainTeed product lines, and we wrap the house properly before a single panel goes on. Learn more about siding replacement.
Siding Repair
One cracked panel does not mean a whole new house. Storm damage, a wind-lifted section, a woodpecker hole, or a loose corner piece can usually be fixed in a day. We match materials and colors as closely as the market allows, and we check behind the damage for hidden moisture before we close it up. We also handle asbestos siding removal, which most local companies will not touch. Learn more about siding repair.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding in Delaware for a reason. It is affordable, it never needs paint, and it shrugs off moisture that would rot wood. Modern vinyl comes in dozens of colors and profiles, so it no longer looks like the flat panels of decades past. If you want the most protection per dollar, start here. Learn more about vinyl siding.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement is a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose that performs like masonry but installs like plank siding. It will not rot, it will not ignite, and it holds paint for years. For Delaware homes that take wind-driven rain off the coast and hard freezes in winter, it is the most durable wall material we install. Learn more about fiber cement siding.
James Hardie Siding
James Hardie is the brand most homeowners name when they ask about fiber cement. The Hardie line brings specific product collections, a wide factory color range, and one of the strongest warranties in the category. If you have already decided on fiber cement and want to compare product lines, colors, and warranty terms, the Hardie page is your next stop. Learn more about James Hardie siding.
CertainTeed Siding
CertainTeed is our go-to vinyl brand, with polymer and insulated options that go beyond standard vinyl panels. The catalog covers traditional lap, shake, and shingle profiles in a deep color range, so you can get a wood-look exterior without wood upkeep. It pairs well with tighter budgets that still want a name-brand warranty. Learn more about CertainTeed siding.
How Do You Know Whether to Repair or Replace Siding?
Repair your siding when damage is limited to one wall or a handful of panels. Replace it when panels are warped, faded, or leaking on multiple sides, or when the cost of the repair approaches half the cost of new siding.
A few signs point clearly toward siding replacement:
- Panels that have gone brittle and crack when touched.
- Color that has faded unevenly across the whole house.
- Repairs that keep coming back to the same walls every season.
- Rising energy bills can also point to siding that has stopped insulating.
If you are not sure, that is exactly what the free estimate is for. We inspect the walls, tell you what we find, and give you a straight answer. If a repair will hold, we say so.
Which Siding Material Is Best for Delaware Weather?
Fiber cement siding handles Delaware weather best. It stands up to freeze and thaw cycles, humid summers, and wind-driven storm rain without rotting, warping, or igniting. Vinyl siding is the strongest value option and resists moisture better than any wood product.
The honest answer depends on your budget and your plans for the house. Fiber cement costs more up front and lasts longer with less movement. Vinyl costs less, installs faster, and still carries strong warranties from brands like CertainTeed. Both beat wood in our climate, where trapped moisture is the enemy of every exterior wall.
How Much Does Siding Work Cost in Wilmington, DE?
Siding repair in Wilmington typically runs from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand, depending on the damage. A full siding replacement on an average home lands near $12,000. Home size, material choice, and wall condition drive the final number.
Every project starts with a free written estimate, so you know the number before any work begins. Financing options are available if you want to spread the cost of a larger project over time.

Siding Questions Homeowners Ask Us
What siding services does Rain Drainz offer?
Rain Drainz offers six siding services in Wilmington and New Castle County: siding replacement, siding repair, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, James Hardie siding, and CertainTeed siding. Every project starts with a free quote and is handled by one local exterior team.
If you are not sure which one you need, start with the problem. Storm damage or a few bad panels points to repair. Fading, warping, or leaks on more than one wall points to replacement. Choosing a material for a new exterior starts with vinyl or fiber cement, then narrows to a brand like CertainTeed or James Hardie. The full service breakdown is in the grid above, with a link to each service page.
Does Rain Drainz handle asbestos siding removal?
Yes. We remove asbestos siding and replace it with modern vinyl or fiber cement. Many older homes in New Castle County still carry original asbestos shingles, and most siding companies will not work on them. We handle removal and replacement as one project, so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.
Do you also repair soffit and fascia?
Yes. Soffit and fascia sit at the roofline, right above your siding, and they fail in the same storms that damage walls. We treat them as their own service category. Visit our soffit and fascia page for repair and installation details.
