Siding
Replacement Vs. Repair
Are you unsure if your siding needs a replacement or just a repair? It can be challenging to determine without the expertise of a siding professional. Here are some key indicators that can help you make an informed decision.
Replacement
Age of the Siding: Different types of materials have different life expectancies. If you are unsure of your life expectancy of your material best to reach out to a siding professional for an inspection.
Cracked, Warped or Rotted Siding: If the siding is like this in multiple areas surrounding your home, best option would be a replacement
Algae, Mold or Moss: If your siding is covered in algae, mold or moss for a long period of time, you should consider a replacement. Not only does it increase moisture, leaks, electrical bills, it can/will cause health issues as well.
Extremely Faded Siding: If your siding around your structure is extremely faded it could mean that the original coating or water barrier has faded away as well. With this barrier being gone, siding does not serve it's full purpose.
Internal Peeling Paint: If you see paint peeling throughout your home and unsure why it could mean that there is moisture within your walls. Which means your siding could be functioning improperly.
Higher Energy Bills: YES, everyone's energy bills have gone up. But if you believe yours has skyrocketed for some other reason, one of those reasons could be the siding, especially if it is nearing it's older age
