3 Signs your Home needs New Siding

Replacing a home’s siding may not be at the top of most homeowner’s to-do lists. In fact, unless there is a specific and urgent problem with a home’s siding, replacing the siding may not be on the homeowner’s radar at all.

Many types of siding last for decades, especially when the siding has been properly maintained. But for even the best-maintained siding, there comes a time when repairing or repainting just won't cut it a time when, for the continued protection of your home, you need to replace the siding altogether. 

At US ROOFING Contractors Contractors located in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Alabama, we give you three signs that you should keep in mind to know if your home needs New Siding:

1. Moisture and Mold:

Inside your home, wherever you discover the effects of moisture buildup be it rot, mold, or mildew, quickly investigate the condition of the same area on the home exterior. If damaged siding appears to be to blame, then you need to update the siding, or the insulation, or both.

2. Cracks and Gaps:

Holes and cracks are unsightly, but such outward imperfections not only endanger the appearance of your home. They are compromising its structural integrity. For one thing, gaps in exterior cladding admit moisture, the enemy of wood. Plus, wherever water gains entry to the home, so too can critters and insects. 

3. Increased Bills:

Although there are no obvious signs of damage to the exterior of your home, check for subtle signs of underperformance. For instance, if you feel drafts near walls and windows, or around switches and electrical receptacles, chances are that additional insulation and new siding would make a huge difference, both in terms of eliminating drafts and saving you money on heating and cooling.
