Vinyl siding is one of the most popular options, in part due to its durability, affordability and low maintenance. Plus, it comes in dozens of colors, so you can pick your favorite. Learn more about vinyl siding by clicking here.
Take your traditional vinyl siding and add rigid-foam insulation behind it, and you’ve got insulated vinyl siding. It will help lower your heating and cooling costs as well as level the wall behind the siding, hiding any imperfections that may occur when walls shift and homes settle over time. The foam also helps your siding withstand impacts from balls, rocks, and any other object that may damage it.
An acronym for Louisiana-Pacific, the manufacturing company behind SmartSide, LP offers a home exterior wood siding option without the maintenance or cost attached to your standard wood. Wax, resin, zinc borate, and other binders keep the wood protected and resistant to insects and rot. It is considered one of the greener siding options.
HardiePlank siding offers a fiber cement siding resistant to insects, fungus, and UV damage. Its cement nature also makes it customizable, allowing it to take on the appearance of a variety of materials, including wood.
Your home’s siding acts as a protective barrier against Mother Nature for you and your family, but it can only do so much when it’s old, worn down, and weathered.
While answering the question, “When should I replace my siding?” largely depends on the type of siding you have, there are certain factors that apply across the board.
Here are the top 5 signs you need to replace your siding.
If you notice any physical damage to your siding – whether it’s warping, rotting, or soft to the touch – it’s time to replace it.
These are all signs of natural wear-and-tear, from sun exposure and inclement weather to the ebbs and flows of frost and thaw cycles. And if you try to paint your siding but it doesn’t seem to hold, it’s time to replace it.
Any rotting, mold, or fungal growth you notice on your siding means water is getting past it. This damage may appear as warping, rusting, or swelling, depending on the siding material you have.
Any moisture damage or mold growth inside your walls could point toward a siding issue, no matter how your siding looks outside. Interior wall damage, including paint peeling or wallpaper bubbling, often points to a serious problem requiring immediate attention.
Hurting your home’s energy efficiency, overlooked gaps or holes in your siding may present themselves in the form of high utility bills every month.
