There can be a lot of different signs that point to your home needing a full siding replacement. Having regular maintenance to your home’s siding is common like painting and sealing. However, if that “regular” maintenance starts becoming more frequent and you notice fading to your home’s color, it might be a sign for siding replacement. Many homeowners begin to look at the time it takes to keep up on the maintenance of their current siding and realize it would make more sense in the long run for a full replacement.
Siding rot can also be an indicator that your home might need a full replacement. It should be noted that if the rot is only limited to small concentrated areas, you likely need repair work (and not the full replacement).
If you go through an event that causes missing pieces of your home siding like a wind or hail storm, you will likely be looking at repair, typically one or two full walls. When those missing pieces expose what is underneath, it can compromise a lot of the home’s exterior.
Seam separation can also be a strong indicator that you need at least a full wall replacement. This is when the siding begins to pull apart and gaps begin to show. When those gaps expose what is underneath, it can compromise a lot of the home’s exterior.
