When is it time to replace siding?

That’s an excellent question. One determining factor is age. If your home is ten years old or older, you likely have the original siding the house was built with. If your home falls within this age range, there are a few things to start looking for. To do this, you will need to do a complete walkaround inspection of your home. 

Warped, cracked, or missing siding

Look at all rows of siding from the ground level to the eaves. If you see any physical flaws, you will want to strongly consider siding replacement.

Dry rot

Dry rot is a hidden problem that will take some investigating to confirm, as it occurs behind the siding. To determine if dry rot is present, randomly select a few areas of your home and tap on the siding. If you find that your siding gives, then the paneling behind your siding has succumbed to dry rot. You will want to contact a local siding contractor to remove the siding, see how extensive the rot is, and replace it with new paneling.

Bubbling

Have you started to notice odd bubbling areas on your siding? This is an issue you should be very concerned about. Bubbling is a sure sign that water has penetrated behind your siding, causing the paneling to warp. This situation is also a reason for the siding to be removed and paneling replaced. 

Color fade

Is the color of your vinyl siding not looking as vibrant as it once did? Does it have a chalky look to it? This is a result of daily exposure to the sun. As the years go by, and your siding is subjected to this constant abuse, the colors will fade. The best way to restore your home’s curb appeal is to install new siding. 

We recommend checking for these four issues at least once a year. Keeping tabs on your siding will keep you ahead of the game and in a position to make the right decisions on your siding. Spotting problems early and addressing them before they become a much more significant problem will help you keep more expensive repair bills at bay.
