Getting new siding installed on your home can seem like a huge task. Between choosing whether to replace everything and choosing the right color, it’s definitely a big investment for any homeowner! If you’ve already decided you want new siding or even if you haven’t looked at your siding in a while, there are definitely some big indicators that you actually NEED new siding. The residential siding department at Boak & Sons is sharing those indicators:
- You have cracks in your siding or it’s pulling away from the home.
Damaged siding is a huge indicator that it needs replaced. Even worse, if your siding is starting to pull away from the home, it definitely needs replaced! Your siding is the armor that protects your home. If that armor is damaged, your home is much more vulnerable to damage too. Take a close look at your siding and if you notice any uneven lines, gaps or cracks, give our residential siding department a call.
- Moisture, mold or pest invasion.
Have you been seeing more and more critters crawling around your siding? Maybe you notice mold growing around the edges. These are both serious signs of underlying moisture! When your siding starts to fail, moisture can set in underneath and cause rotting, which is a breeding ground for mold as well as a huge attractant for pests. Mosquitoes, termites and many other pests can make a comfortable home in the cracks and crevices of bad siding, which can cause a safety hazard to you and your family. Sometimes mold can be washed away with a strong garden hose and it doesn’t come back. However, if you try this and notice the mold keeps coming back, it’s likely coming from a deeper issue.
These are the two most common things our residential siding department looks for when we’re evaluating a home’s siding.
