Signs It's Time to Replace Your Siding
Katelyn Lewis • August 10, 2023
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.
Retex’s Andy Connor snapped these photos during a recent siding replacement estimate in Mechanicsville, VA. As you can see here, there are damaged boards and loose, fading vinyl siding pieces all over this home.
Replacing your siding not only improves your home’s defense against Mother Nature, it also increases your home’s energy efficiency by sealing any unseen gaps or holes, boosts the value of your home by creating a greater curb appeal, and refreshes your home’s overall facade.

Unfortunately there are folks out there more concerned with a quick sale than with helping you with your home exteriors.
This Midlothian homeowner originally reached out to Retex in October 2023 for a roof repair for a leak in her kitchen as well as a roof replacement estimate. RETEX’s Andy Connor met with her, gave her both quotes, and we repaired her roof. She reached back out to Andy in March 2024, ready to move forward with RETEX on replacing her roof.
If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.
