Signs Your Siding Needs to be Replaced

Posted by admin on August 23, 2021

The siding on your home is one of the most important factors when it comes to both the interior comfort and the exterior functionality of the house. It’s easy to overlook regular siding maintenance and repairs since it’s on the outside of your home, but you can’t ignore it forever! Be on the lookout for these telltale signs that your siding needs to be replaced before exterior neglect turns into interior damage.

Damaged Siding

You should regularly inspect your siding for signs of damage. Damaged siding can come in many forms, including holes, cracks, gaps, and warped siding. Some damages can be repaired, but if your siding is frequently showing signs of damage, it’s probably due to be replaced. Inspect your siding at least twice a year and after any storm or high winds.

High Heating and Cooling Costs

Siding helps protect the interior of your home from the exterior weather conditions. If your heating and cooling bills seem unreasonably high, your siding may be to blame. Check for drafts around your outlets and light switches. Even if you can’t find any noticeable drafts, that doesn’t mean your siding is energy efficient. Truly energy-efficient siding should have an Energy Star approval and be paired with plenty of exterior wall insulation.

Moisture Inside the Home

Excess moisture inside of your home can come in many forms. Mold, mildew, and even rot are all signs that moisture is entering your home. If you can’t narrow down an interior cause of the excess moisture, your outdated siding could be to blame. Siding with gaps, cracks, or holes is especially prone to letting moisture enter the home through exterior walls. It’s better to replace old or damaged siding before it turns into a moisture issue inside the house. Removing mold and repairing the interior of your home will be a lot more expensive and a bigger inconvenience than just replacing your outdated siding before it becomes an issue.

Unsightly Appearance

Sometimes the most significant telltale sign that your siding needs to be replaced is your own unhappiness with how it looks. If your home is sticking out like a sore thumb around your neighbors, upgrading your siding is the perfect fix! New siding can be purchased in a variety of colors and textures to fit any design plan. New siding that improves the appearance of your home is not only something you and your neighbors will appreciate; it’s attractive to potential buyers too. Siding has a great return on investment because it raises the resale value of your home.

We met with these homeowners to discuss their replacement project, and informed them about all of our available options. After discussing all of our team’s options, the homeowners decided on a unique design for their exterior. They wanted to use CertainTeed’s Cedar Impressions shingles on the front of the home, above their existing brick siding, and then use Monogram vinyl siding around the sides and perimeter of the home!

This design looks fantastic, and the homeowners were thrilled with the finished product! We’re happy we could help them complete their vision, and the home’s exterior looks beautiful!

It is available in an enormous array of color options, and with its beautiful cedar-imitation finish, it is sure to help your home stand-out in the neighborhood!

For their siding replacement, these homeowners chose a beautiful shade called Natural Clay, which looks fantastic on the home, complementing the white trim on their windows. We removed the old siding and made quick work of the install, giving the home a beautiful face-lift!

However, there was one more side of the home that needed attending to; the front! Which brings us to the next material we used for the replacement!

CertainTeed Cedar Impressions

For the front of the home, the homeowners wanted to install a material with just a bit of extra curb appeal, to complement their brick siding on the first story! Rather than using Monogram siding, the homeowners decided to use beautiful Cedar Impressions siding shingles in the same shade of Natural Clay! This made the siding look cohesive with the rest of the home, but provided that extra bit of beauty to the front of the home. Combined with the brick along the base of the home, these Cedar Impressions shingles look beautiful, and truly capped of this remodel!

CertainTeed Monogram Vinyl Siding & Cedar Impressions

To begin, let’s discuss the siding materials we used for this replacement.

They decided that for their siding replacement, they would install a mixture of Cedar Impressions siding shingles, along with CertainTeed’s most popular siding option, Monogram vinyl siding. They had the idea of using both siding materials to craft a unique two-tone siding approach that truly helped this home’s exterior pop.

We installed Mountain Cedar Impressions siding shingles on the top half of the home, with the Monogram siding in Cypress installed along the lower half of the home! Both options, built by CertainTeed, have plenty of curb appeal and offer impeccable protection against all of Massachusetts’ inclement weather.

The homeowners were thrilled with the finished siding, but we still had more work to do on this home!

Marvin Double-Hung Windows

In addition to the new siding, our team installed new Marvin replacement windows in the home. The homeowners were looking to update their home’s windows along with the siding, and they elected to install new Marvin Essential Double-Hung windows around the home! The new windows complement the siding beautifully, and truly help bring the home’s exterior together in a cohesive manner. However, this home still needed one more finishing touch.

Therma-Tru Entry Door

Lastly, our team installed a new Therma-Tru entry door on the home! The homeowners decided to replace their old entry door while they were remodeling the rest of the home’s exterior, and they had us install a beautiful new black Therma-Tru entry door, providing the home with another focal point to draw your eye.
