KNOWING WHEN TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A HOME’S SIDING

Homeowners who have old siding or have experienced substantial wind or storm damage are often left with the question – “is it better to replace my siding or repair it?” Depending on many factors, including your budget and how long you plan to stay in your home, there are a few key things to consider when replacing siding. Let’s first decide if your home needs new siding. The first thing to look for is fungus, warped panels or panels tearing away from the home,

separating seams, swelling, boards that no longer lay flat, rotten wood or moisture on the inside of your house. These can all be tell-tale signs that siding might need to be replaced.Dry rot is a huge concern, especially when wood siding is involved.
