Damaged Siding: Repair vs. Replacement

Your siding is integral to your home’s aesthetics, energy efficiency and weather protection. That’s why when a siding issue arises, you must resolve the problem right away to prevent further damage. However, homeowners can sometimes get confused about whether they should repair or replace their damaged siding. 

In this post, Triangle Home Exteriors — one of the area’s top home exterior remodeling companies — shares information to help you make an informed decision.

When to Repair Your Siding

After an extreme weather event, it’s best to schedule a professional siding inspection to detect the damage and determine if it needs repair. Usually, small cracks and dents on the surface of your siding can be fixed. Your contractor can also reattach loose siding and remove traces of mold to prevent rot. 

Just make sure that the company you’ll be working with has a good reputation. Whether you need siding repair or other home improvement services, hiring licensed and insured siding contractors is crucial to ensuring excellent workmanship. 

When to Replace Your Siding

If your siding is severely damaged, a replacement is generally the best solution. Water stains, rot, increased energy bills, and constant peeling and cracking despite regular maintenance are some of the indications that you need new siding. When you notice these signs, consult an experienced contractor immediately to resolve your siding issues. Leaving them unaddressed will lead to extensive damage that could compromise your home’s structural integrity.
