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.
