While replacing the siding might not be on top of every homeowner’s priority list, it should be done when there are some serious problems existing within your siding. Even so, you shouldn’t wait for the time when problems show up. Make sure that you get your cladding inspected to catch issues early on. In this post, the top siding and roofing contractor, Tango & Gatti, shares three signs it’s time to replace your siding.
Rotting and Warping
Make sure that you make a detailed visual inspection of your home’s siding. Try to take along a screwdriver with you. Look for warped or rotting boards, or other signs of damage to the siding material. Poke the siding that has warped to see how the underside is holding up. Once it feels soft, make sure that your siding is replaced immediately.
Frequent Repainting
If your roofing and painting contractor comes around often for repainting, this means that there’s something wrong with your siding. A functional siding unit should retain its shape and color for at least 8 to 10 years, or more. Once you see cracking, chipping or peeling, this indicates that there’s some underlying problems that warrant a siding replacement.
Holes in the Siding
Even if there are small holes in your siding, they are already a serious problem. Holes in siding are oftentimes caused by insects. Once they make it into your siding, they can wreak havoc within your siding. Not to mention that it also allows the elements into your home, causing inefficient energy usage.
