Top Causes of Siding Problems and How to Prevent Them

Roofing and siding act as the best defenses against elements in a home. As a homeowner, it is best to be well prepared for siding problems before they happen. One way to stay ahead of siding problems is knowing what causes them. Having a capable contractor like D’Angelo & Sons Eavestrough and Siding can help to work on these problems as soon as possible before they turn into a costly affair.

Look at it this way. You have a favorite jacket that protects you from harsh weather conditions. Inevitably, it will get old and may even develop holes and tears. At this point, you either have to repair it or buy a new one if you are to keep yourself protected. You can say the same when it comes to siding. Because siding is constantly exposed to the elements, it will develop some problems in the long run.

Top causes of siding problems include:

  • Paint Fading

Homeowners should always have some extra amount of money set aside for siding and roof repairs. When siding is new, it looks good from afar. As time goes by, the siding starts to lose its luster. The paint starts to fade and peel because of the elements. You need to maintain your siding regularly by cleaning, inspecting, and repainting. A faded siding reduces your home’s curb appeal, thus reducing its value.

  • Installation Errors

If you keep hearing loud noises coming from your siding during a windstorm, it is a sign that it was properly installed. Poor installation can also lead to warping, buckling, and all kinds of issues that may warrant replacement or repair.

To avoid such problems, ensure you hire capable contractors with a good track record like D’Angelo & Sons Eavestrough and Siding. Reputable contractors also offer warranty coverage, which means they will take care of any problems that may originate from factory defects.

  • Pest Damage

Wood siding is not only vulnerable to the elements but also susceptible to pests like termites as well. Holes and damage brought about by pests, woodpeckers, and worms can easily be repaired. Repairing wood siding can cost an average of $1,400. To minimize your annual siding repair costs, consider using vinyl siding over wood. You still have to maintain your vinyl siding regularly if they are to last.

  • Damage from Moisture

The main aim of installing siding is to keep water and moisture from your home. Buckling and warping are the main signs that your siding has been affected by moisture. If you don’t take care of this problem soon enough, the damage can easily extend to the walls and frames. When the damage is too extensive, the only way to fix this problem is to replace the entire siding.

Say Goodbye to Siding Problems

Have you been experiencing some or all of these common siding problems? Every homeowner has to face these problems at one point. One of the best ways to prevent such problems is by regular maintenance. Ensure you work with experienced contractors to help you maintain the integrity and appeal of your home.
