Your home’s siding is more than just an aesthetic feature; it’s your first line of defense against the outside elements. Over time, your siding can sustain significant wear and tear, and even damage caused by storms. At Elevated Roofing & Siding, our experts can repair or replace your siding with a variety of material options. Let’s explore five signs that it’s time to replace your siding.
1. Visible Cracks and Warping
If you notice cracks, warping, or other obvious signs of wear on your siding, it is likely time to replace it. You don’t want these issues to allow moisture penetration, resulting in possible mold or rot. You should always inspect your siding after severe storms.
2. Mold, Mildew, or Fungus are Present
The presence of mold, mildew, or fungus on your siding could signify moisture problems. There may be water trapped behind your siding, which could result in significant damage over time. If you observe any of this type of growth, you’ll want to address it right away.
3. Significant Fading and Discoloration
While all siding will fade over time from consistent sun exposure, siding that shows extensive fading and discoloration has probably reached the end of its lifespan. New siding will not only restore your curb appeal, it will enhance your home’s protection from the elements.
4. Bubbling or Blistering of Siding
When water becomes trapped within siding, you will typically see a bubbling or blistering of the siding surface after the prolonged exposure to heat and moisture. This will not only detract from the appearance of your home, it could also lead to significant structural damage.
5. Increased Energy Bills
If you have an unexplained increase in your monthly energy bills, your siding could be the cause. As an insulator for your home, siding can’t do its job properly if it becomes too damaged or worn out. This diminished energy efficiency would result in your heating and cooling systems working harder.
