Professional Siding Contractors in Snellville, GA
Snellville is one of Gwinnett County's older established communities, incorporated in 1923 and built out heavily between the late 1960s and the late 1990s. That means most of the houses we work on here share a recognizable pattern: brick on the front elevation, with T1-11 plywood or hardboard siding on the sides and back.
We've been replacing failing siding on south Gwinnett homes since 1998, which means we've seen this exact housing pattern across hundreds of projects. We know which 1970s and 1980s builders cut sheathing thickness, which subdivisions used the hardboard products that delaminated by year fifteen, and what a 50-year-old Summit Chase original looks like under the cladding when we pull the first piece off. Every Snellville project starts with an in-home assessment and a written quote, no phone guesses on scope, no surprise change orders mid-project.
EXOVATIONS installs James Hardie fiber cement on full re-sides. As an Elite Preferred Remodeler, a credential held by a limited number of contractors in the Atlanta market, we are certified to install the full HardiePlank® product line with manufacturer-backed warranty terms.
What that means for your home:
- 15-year color warranty on the factory ColorPlus® finish, no five-to-seven-year repaint cycle
- 30-year limited product warranty, transferable to the next owner
- Non-combustible, Class A fire-rated relevant for homeowner's insurance on some properties
- Will not warp, rot, or feed pests in Georgia humidity
- Third-party GuildQuality satisfaction survey on every James Hardie project we install

Why Snellville Homeowners Pick EXOVATIONS

We follow every installation with a third-party GuildQuality satisfaction survey so the feedback goes on record.
Snellville is a long-tenure market. The same families have lived in Summit Chase, Wynfield Forest, and the Brookwood-cluster subdivisions for 20, 30, sometimes 40+ years. Word about a contractor travels fast in a market like that, both ways. We've been working south Gwinnett since 1998, and we are still here because we put the answer in writing and stand behind it. If the right answer for your home is a partial re-side instead of a full one, we'll tell you that, and the quote will reflect it.
Signs Your Snellville Home Needs New Siding
Knowing when to repair or replace your siding helps you avoid expensive surprises and keeps your Snellville home looking right. Six signs to watch for, with the south-Gwinnett housing stock context that makes them show up the way they do here.
Cracks, Warping, or Holes
On a Snellville home with original 1970s T1-11 plywood or 1980s hardboard, hairline cracks become panel failure faster than they would on newer products. T1-11 is especially prone to delamination at the bottom course where rain splashback hits, and once water gets into the inner plies, the panel separates from the inside out. Summit Chase originals at the 50-year mark are showing this pattern across whole elevations.
Fading or Peeling Paint
South and west exposure on a Snellville home with original or first-replacement painted hardboard degrades paint faster than on factory-finished fiber cement. Chalky residue on your fingers when you touch the siding means the paint binder has broken down and the wood underneath is no longer protected from UV.
Mold, Mildew, or Algae Growth
North and east elevations of most Snellville homes sit under heavy mature tree canopy, especially in Summit Chase and the older Brookwood-cluster subdivisions, where the original 1970s and 1980s landscaping is now fully grown in. That shade plus humidity is the textbook condition for algae and mildew growth. Surface algae rinses off; black streaking that returns within months of a cleaning means moisture is trapped behind the cladding.
Bubbling or Blistering
Almost always trapped moisture. On a Snellville home built before 1990, the original flashing details at window heads, deck ledgers, and the brick-to-siding transition at the front corner of the home were often under-spec'd by modern standards. Bubbling siding is usually downstream of one of those original details finally giving up.
Increased Energy Bills
If your Snellville home was built before 2000 and has never been re-sided, there's almost certainly no exterior continuous insulation behind the existing T1-11 or hardboard. A 1970s or 1980s home with original construction is leaking conditioned air through every fastener penetration. Pairing a fiber cement replacement with a continuous insulation layer often delivers a measurable cooling-cost reduction in our climate.
Loose or Missing Panels
On older Snellville homes, this is often the result of fastener pull-through after the underlying sheathing has softened, not just storm damage. A single missing T1-11 panel exposes sheathing to wind-driven rain and accelerates the underlying failure that caused the panel to come loose in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What should I look for in a siding contractor in Snellville, GA?
Look for written quotes after an in-home assessment (not phone estimates), a Georgia general contractor's license, verifiable manufacturer credentials such as James Hardie Elite Preferred Remodeler status, and warranty terms in writing before work begins. In Snellville specifically, ask whether the contractor will give you an honest read on the partial-vs-full-replacement question on a brick-front home, rather than steering you into a full perimeter scope just because it's the bigger job.
Q Why does EXOVATIONS install fiber cement on Snellville homes?
Fiber cement holds up to Georgia humidity, summer UV, and tree-canopy moisture exposure significantly better than the original T1-11 plywood and hardboard products most Snellville homes from the 1970s through the 1990s were originally built with. The product carries a 30-year limited warranty and a 15-year color warranty on the factory ColorPlus® finish, so there's no five-to-seven-year repaint cycle on the sided elevations. The factory color also lets us match a partial re-side cleanly to the brick front of your home.
Q Is EXOVATIONS a licensed siding contractor in Snellville?
Yes. EXOVATIONS is a licensed Georgia general contractor, fully insured, and a James Hardie Elite Preferred Remodeler, a credential publicly searchable in James Hardie's contractor directory. We've been serving Snellville and the broader south Gwinnett market since 1998.
Q Our Snellville home has brick on the front and wood siding on the sides and back. Do we have to replace all of it, or can we just do the wood?
Usually, just the wood is replaced, and the brick stays untouched. The new James Hardie fiber cement goes on the sided elevations, color-matched and profile-matched to your existing trim and roof line so the home reads as one cohesive exterior, not a patched repair.
We will not push you into a full perimeter re-side just because it's a bigger job. The exceptions are when the brick itself is failing, when you're redesigning the front of the home and want to change the brick out intentionally, or when years of cascading runoff from failed siding above has damaged the brick below.
