Replacement Signs for Home Siding

Siding is a protective part of home exterior that keeps harsh elements away and to keep the family comfortable and secure. It keeps the home integrity and when this is damaged you must replace the siding before it makes grave structural problems. Here are the signs and conditions when you must replace it from a siding company.

Missing Materials

You can repair misplaced siding anchor or single nail, missing panel or plank. But if you find missing materials repeatedly on your siding, there are worn out part on the siding, this is the time you should think about replacing it.

Rot

If there are brittle siding, panel sections are breaking down or crumbling, this is high time you must replace it. This is the indication of moisture penetration breaking the siding. But this does not happen with fiber cement siding.

Warping

Check the siding from multiple angles and check if the siding is not flat compared to the adjacent panels.

Cracks

If you find visible cracks on your siding, this is a serious indication. It can be a good entrance for moisture and bugs. Inspect how deep the cracks are and act accordingly that is siding replacement.

Holes by Insects or Birds

Though fiber cement siding is difficult for insects and birds to create holes and homes and it is very unlikely, still if you get any such signs or carved patterns, this is the time to replace the siding.

Moisture

When you see moisture traces there, it is the time to be proactive. Mold and mildew growth are the signs of moisture trapping. Replace your old siding with a new one that is mold-resistant and coated with mold-resistant material.

Siding Crosses Lifespan

If your siding has exceeded the lifespan, you must replace it. You rather should go for higher quality material as vinyl or wood siding does not last long. After 15 years these materials start to wear off. Go for fiber cement siding instead of as it lasts for 50 years. This is fire resistant, rot proof, insect or termite-proof. Ask your siding company for details.
