Is It Time for New Siding?
A "yes" to any of the following is worth a closer look:
- Do you find yourself needing to repaint your home frequently?
- Is your current siding rotting or warping?
- Are there cracked or loose panels?
- Is paint or wallpaper peeling on the inside of your house?
- Is there dry rot underneath the siding?
- Are you just ready for a different look, or want to increase your home's value?
Some of these, like frequent repainting or an outdated look, are more about preference and upkeep. Others, like interior paint peeling or dry rot, are signs that your siding may no longer be keeping moisture out, which is a bigger deal than it might first appear.
Repair or Full Replacement?
Not every siding issue means a full replacement. The scope of the damage is usually what decides it. An isolated problem, like a cracked panel, a small hole, or a section that came loose in a storm, is often a good candidate for repair rather than replacing the whole exterior.
Full replacement tends to make more sense once the damage is more widespread: significant warping, real moisture damage, or color fading and brittleness spread across large sections of the house. At that point, patching individual areas often isn't a lasting fix, and full replacement becomes the more cost-effective option over time. A Graves Brothers inspection gives you an honest read on which direction fits your home.
More Than Curb Appeal
New siding does more than change how your home looks from the street:
- Protection: New siding protects your home from the elements more effectively than aging, cracked, or warped panels.
- Energy efficiency: Gaps and deterioration in old siding let conditioned air escape. A properly installed, intact siding system helps your home hold onto heating and cooling.
- Home value: Updated siding is one of the more visible ways to increase resale value, since it's one of the first things a potential buyer notices.
