Replacing your home’s siding and roofing system is a significant investment. As such, your efforts must be calculated when making decisions in tackling this project. Whether it is determining when to purchase a new one or finding the right contractor for the job, here are some important things you should know about siding replacement.
Timing Is Everything
Re-siding your home is all about timing. Do it too soon and you turn your current siding’s remaining serviceable years to waste. Do it too late and you are looking at severe water damage that may jeopardize your home’s function.
Old age necessitates immediate siding replacement, but there are other things you need to take into account. Any form of damage like sagging, cracking, buckling, fading, or even missing panels indicates your current siding no longer performs its intended job of protecting your home. Signs of rot and insect infestation also call for replacement.
The Cost of Maintenance
Roofers often recommend replacement when the roofing system is no longer worth spending on repairs. The same can be said for your siding. In time, its upkeep cycle shortens, which means more money being shelled out just to fix minor problems. It would make more financial sense to invest in a new siding material with low maintenance.
