Is It Time to Replace Your Siding?
With better materials and newer installation technologies from commercial roofing contractors and siding installers, modern siding products can last up to 40 years, depending on the type of siding. This means, you’ll rarely ever need, if at all, to replace your siding more than once in your life. Unfortunately, this also means that not many homeowners know when their siding is nearing the end of its estimated service life.
Some signs of aging siding are conspicuous such as visible cracking, peeling, and damage. Most, however, can remain undetected until they become more serious and cause bigger issues in your home. Let our experts at Larry Walty Roofing walk you through some of the often overlooked signs that you need siding for your house.
Increasing Energy Bills
Take a look at your heating and cooling bills for the last four months. If you see an ever increasing trend, you may already be due for a residential or commercial roof repair and siding replacement. Siding plays a vital role in the energy efficiency of your home but the performance of your siding can slowly degrade as it ages. Conduct an energy audit and inspection of your roof and siding to determine if your siding is the real culprit of your increasing utility bills.
Loose Wallpapers
When siding boards fail, the effects aren’t exclusive to the exterior of your home. Pay attention to your interior walls and check them for signs of leaks or water penetration. If you have wallpaper, damaged siding can cause it to unpeel in certain places.
Frequent Repairs
When your roof needs a roof repair visit every season, it’s a sure sign of a problem. The same is true for siding boards. If you find that you need to call for repairs or maintenance frequently on your siding, it may be time for a replacement.
