Does Your Siding Need to be Replaced or Repaired?

Siding tends to be practical and aesthetically pleasing. It can also be a cost-effective solution compared to other exterior materials. But what if something happens to it? Do you replace it or repair it? And how do you tell?

Does your siding need to be replaced or repaired? This is a common question we get asked. If the siding has small holes, cracks or scratches this is considered a repair. If a small section needs to be replaced or has come loose, this too is a repair. If your siding is warped, sagging, significantly old (10-15 years or more), infested then it needs to be replaced.

When considering which is the right solution, material, cost, warranty, aesthetics, and long-term value all play a role. If the material is made of vinyl, wood, fiber, cement, etc.. they have varying strengths and vulnerabilities. It may be cheaper to do it yourself with a kit or do you need to hire a professional, which will be a lot more expensive.

Is your siding covered by a warranty? If so, what are the stipulations on getting it repaired or replaced?

You want a solution that works best for your budget and your long-term value of your home. You want it to look nice, but you also want it to be done correctly.

Knowing the age of your siding will be helpful in making your decision as well. You could replace sections of the siding to help save on costs while still getting the repairs or replacements you need done.

Ultimately, the choice is yours once you have all the information to make a decision.
