Your siding protects your home on a daily basis, so the material will naturally degrade over time or suffer from damage due to extreme weather events. Here are some of the most common signs that will tell you it’s time for siding replacement.

Cracks

Cracks enable water to reach the underlayment of your siding. So, the longer you wait to fix the cracks in your siding, the more extensive the damage could be. If the cracks are only present in a few areas, you can opt to replace the affected panels only. However, if the cracks are all over your home exterior, it would be better to replace your entire siding.

Bubbling or Blisters

Siding contractors also keep an eye out for bubbling or blisters – which are often caused by excessive heat or moisture. Make sure to call a trusted siding professional to carry out an inspection. This way, you’ll know the underlying problem that has caused the blisters and be able to prevent a recurrence.

Dry Rot

This usually happens in wood siding, and the main culprit behind it is moisture buildup. Dry rot does not only make your exterior an eyesore; it can also weaken your siding and reduce your home’s protection against the elements. Rot can also possibly spread to other parts of your home, so make sure to deal with this problem ASAP.
