Why Would You Need To Replace Your Vinyl Siding?

The vinyl siding on your home should last for a few decades, but you’ll have to replace it at some point. Whether your siding ends up with damage or deteriorates from wear and tear, it’s crucial to replace it when needed. Why replace vinyl siding?

You might need to replace your vinyl siding if it is damaged due to a storm or an accident. For example, hail can cause dents, or high winds could blow tree branches or other debris into it. If your vinyl siding has insect damage or mold and mildew growth, it might be time to have it replaced. You might also need new vinyl siding if yours is in poor condition due to its age, especially if it hasn’t been maintained.

Vinyl siding protects your home interior from the elements, such as water damage. Siding also helps insulate your home, so heated air stays inside during winter, and cooler air stays inside during summer. This can help your home feel comfortable and lower your monthly heating and cooling bills. When your vinyl siding has damage, such as cracks, this can allow moisture to seep inside and cause expensive repairs. These gaps and cracks also lower your siding’s ability to insulate your home. Having damaged siding also makes it easier for pests to get inside your house.

When you have vinyl siding damage, you might only need to have the affected area replaced, especially if it’s only a small area. However, you might need to have your entire home re-sided if you have extensive damage or if your siding is in bad shape overall. You might also choose to have your whole house re-sided if the color or style you currently have isn’t available anymore.
