Waiting till your siding is falling off or causing water to leak into
your home is not usually the best time to replace it. This can put you
in a situation of needing the work done right away, and sometimes it’s
difficult to have quality work done on such short notice.
So how do you get a jump on replacing your siding while there’s still
time for you to have it done right? First, take some time to inspect
the exterior of your home, and here are some things to look for to help
you determine if it’s time.
Signs That You Need New Siding
For wood siding, it may be time to replace it if you see the following:
• Peeling or curling paint
• Cracking or splitting boards
• Extensive hail damage
• Wood knots popping out (specific to cedar siding)
• Woodpeckers continually hacking at the boards
Wood siding can last from 20 -100 years, and the wide range comes
from a deep list of variables. The species of wood (red wood and cedar
last longer than pine), the age of the wood (old-growth vs. new growth),
and the weather conditions around your home all contribute to the
soundness of the boards.
For hardboard siding, it may be time to replace if you see the following:
• Boards swollen from water
• Finish peels or flakes off
• Doesn’t hold a new coat of finish
• Surface has delaminated
Hardboard siding is a relatively new siding material, man-made from
wood fibers, wax and resin, and usually lasts as long as indicated by
the factory-finish warranty. But if that finish is compromised (from
scratches, scrapes or punctures), the soft material underneath
immediately soaks up water and the board will fail. Hardboard is a
high-maintenance siding requiring diligent cleaning and caulking.
For vinyl siding, it may be time to replace it if you see the following:
• Chalky film on your finger after sweeping it across the vinyl
• White streaks on brick or foundation below vinyl siding
• Faded color
• Cracked or brittle sections
• Becomes more difficult to wash off mold, moss and dirt
Depending on the original quality of the vinyl siding, it can last
from 15-20 years. Pollution and UV exposure also breaks down the
petroleum in vinyl, so vinyl siding on a rural home tends to last a bit
longer than on homes in urban and suburban areas. to fix this problems you need call us at 404-557-80-78 or just fill the free estimate form
