Vintage Exterior No More
Builder-grade exteriors don't age like wine. More like milk.
The siding, windows, doors, and trim that came with your home were built to a budget — and that budget didn't account for twenty-five years of St. Louis weather. What you're likely looking at now is a house that is struggling to keep the elements out, the heat in, and the water where it belongs. The exterior stuff isn't glamorous. But ignoring it gets expensive fast.
What's Probably Happening Out There
Most homes built between 1960 and 2000 are likely dealing with some version of the same list:
- Siding that is warping, cracking, fading, or allowing moisture to work its way behind the wall — damage that compounds quietly until it becomes a much bigger problem.
- Windows that no longer seal properly, letting conditioned air out and drafts in. If your energy bills have crept up over the years, your windows may be a significant reason why.
- Doors that have shifted, settled, or simply worn out — gaps around the frame, locks that don't quite line up, thresholds that no longer seal.
- Trim, soffits, and fascia that are rotting or separating, giving water a direct path into your home's structure.
- Porches and columns that were built with materials that were never going to hold up indefinitely — and have proven it.
What Mosby Does About It
We replace what needs replacing with materials built to actually last — and we approach your home's exterior as a whole, not a collection of individual problems to patch one at a time.
- Siding replacement with materials rated for durability, low maintenance, and performance in this climate.
- Window replacement that improves insulation, reduces energy loss, and makes your home more comfortable year-round.
- Door replacement that seals properly, operates correctly, and holds up to daily use.
- Trim, soffit, fascia, porch, and column work handled by crews who know these homes and what they need.
- Full project management from estimate to completion — no juggling multiple contractors, no wondering who's responsible for what.
Financing
Protecting your home doesn't have to mean writing one large check. No payments for a full year — or spread it out with monthly payments that may cost less than your car payment. Either way, it's more within reach than you've been telling yourself. Ask about current financing terms when we come out for your free estimate.

Client Reviews
"Our exterior update was our second project with Mosby Building Arts, and once again, we’re very pleased with the results. The team helped us choose the right siding design and colors, handled unpredictable weather along the way, and finished it off beautifully with a bold coral front door."
Jackie, Chesterfield, MO
