Signs You Should Replace Your Siding | Hercules Homes

Your home’s siding can take a lot of punishment over the years – but there comes a time when replacement is necessary. How do you know when it’s time to replace your siding? In this blog post, we will review some common signs that it’s time for new siding on your home.

Sign #1: Constant Maintenance

One sure sign that it’s time for new siding is if you find yourself constantly having to repair or maintain your existing siding. If the repairs are becoming more frequent and expensive, you may be better off replacing your old, worn out siding with something new and more robust.

Sign #2: Loose and Missing Siding

Another telltale sign that you need to replace your siding is if you notice loose or missing sections of the material. This could indicate an underlying problem such as water damage or storm/wind damage, both of which can cause serious damage to the structure of your home if not addressed immediately.

Sign #3: Pest Damage

Pests such as termites and carpenter ants can wreak havoc on the wood components of your home, including its siding. If you notice any evidence of these pests on or around your home’s exterior walls, it’s probably a good idea to have an exterminator take a look before considering replacing your siding.

Sign #4: Fading, Warping and Rotting

If you have noticed that the color of your siding has faded or that certain sections are warping or rotting, then it is likely time for a replacement job! Not only will this improve the appearance of your home but also its energy efficiency as well!
