Is it time to replace your siding?

This is a very good question. How do you determine when it’s time for siding to be replaced? Age plays an important factor in determining the answer. If you have a ten-year or older home, it is likely the original siding your home was built with. Once you have established your home’s age, take a look at some factors that will help determine if you need to replace your siding. 

Warped, cracked, or missing siding

Do a complete walk-around of your home. Pay close attention to all areas of siding from ground level to top row. If you spot these obvious physical flaws, then siding installation is in your future. 

Heating and cooling bill fluctuations

Is your attic insulation in place as it should be? If the answer to both of these is yes, then your aging siding needs replaced. 

Dry rot

This one is more of a hidden lurking problem. Dry rot occurs behind the siding. To determine if you have dry rot, randomly select a few areas of your home and tap on the siding. If you find that your siding gives, the paneling behind your siding has succumbed to dry rot. Your siding will need to be removed and the subpaneling replaced.

Bubbling

Are you noticing odd bubbling areas in your siding? This is a very serious issue. When this occurs, you have had water penetrate behind your siding, causing the subpanel to warp. This requires siding to be removed and subpaneling to be replaced as well.

Your siding is constantly faced with standing up against the elements. This includes the relentless beating of the sun’s rays. As the years pass and your siding is subjected to this constant abuse, the colors will fade. In order to give your home its original curb appeal, new siding is in order. This is particularly important when you are looking to put your home on the market. Consider replacing your siding. Siding is a huge selling point for buyers.

It’s a good idea to go through this list at least once a year and do an informal inspection.
