How Do You Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Home’s Siding?
You want to get the most for your money after having your siding installed. How do you know when it’s time to replace your home’s siding?
We have clear signs to look for.
- Bubbling: Bubbles appearing on siding indicate trapped water, poor installation quality, or intense UV damage. Ignoring it can lead to rot and water penetrating your walls.
- Cracks and Warping: Cracks and warped siding panels allow water in, which increases the risk of rot and structural damage.
- Fading or Peeling: UV rays take a toll on a home’s siding. If you’re sick of painting wooden siding, vinyl is a fuss-free alternative. If your vinyl siding is starting to fade, discolor, and look dull, replace it.
- Fungus, Mildew, or Mold: You pressure-washed your siding and a year later, lichen, mildew, mold, or moss return. It’s a clear sign that there’s moisture trapped under your siding.
