Siding Replacement
Indicators That It’s Time To Replace Your Siding
If properly cared for, siding can last well over 20 years. All siding materials, however, will need to be changed at some point. If your siding is more than two decades old, or if you detect any of the difficulties listed below, it’s time to call our siding replacement experts.
Faded Color
Excessive UV exposure can cause browning and fade in vinyl siding. Vinyl that has been faded by the sun is brittle and susceptible to cracking and breaking. While siding can be easily repainted or stained, fading still reveals the siding’s age, and it may be time to replace it.
High Energy Costs
If you’ve observed that your energy bills are substantially higher than usual, or if you’re experiencing drafts or hot areas in your home, it’s possible that your siding has lost its insulating properties.
Moss, Mold, or Plants
Mold and moss are more than just unsightly. If you detect plant growth on your siding, that means your siding is retaining a lot of moisture. This can be a warning sign that more significant structural issues are on the way.
Water Damage
If your siding has deteriorated to the point where it is no longer a barrier to the weather, rainwater may be able to leak into your home, weakening the structure and possibly damaging the drywall on the inside.
Warping or Bubbling
Bubbling and warping indicate that moisture has become trapped behind the material or that your vinyl siding has been exposed to high temperatures. In either case, it needs to be changed because it no longer creates a sealed barrier.
Insects
Look for signs of woodpecker, squirrel, and insect damage. While any siding can be attacked by insects, termites are particularly fond of wood siding.
Siding For Your Home
Common Types of Siding
When it comes to siding replacements, you’ll have to choose from a few distinct options. Each material has advantages and disadvantages, so consider all the options to pick the one that best suits your taste, lifestyle, and budget. Our siding installation pros will make sure whatever you choose looks great on your home.
Since Vinyl Siding is almost maintenance-free, it is the most popular choice in the United States. Water, mold, rot, and insects are all resistant to the PVC, which is available in many colors and designs, from typical Dutchlap to scalloped trim that looks like classic wood.
Light, low-density softwood is used to make cedar siding. This material is an excellent insulator and acoustic barrier due to its open cell structure and density. Although cedarwood has many natural benefits, most people chose it for its aesthetic value. Green Eco Solutions offer a Cedar-Impressions Vinyl Shingle alternative.
Hardie Board™, commonly known as fiber cement siding, is made mostly of sand and concrete, making it fire, insect, and rot-resistant. Fiber cement siding is not energy-efficient, requires maintenance, and can hold moisture if not properly installed.
Foam-backed siding combines the low-maintenance and cleanability of Vinyl Siding with the thermal advantages of foam insulation. Foam-backed insulation may be the appropriate solution for you if you have high electric costs or specific rooms in your house that are cooler in the winter or warmer in the summer. Vinyl Siding with Silver Shield from Green Eco Solutions can help save homeowners up to 30% on their energy bills.
Siding Replacement System Elements
The majority of siding material discussions center on the siding panels themselves Depending on the materials you choose, there is a lot of variety in lifespan, durability, and cost. It is also vital to remember that siding replacements are part of a larger system. The top layer of your siding isn’t all there is to it. Here are the other components of your siding system:
Backerboard
The plywood or cement Backerboard is affixed to the outer wall with studs and sits behind the external siding panels.
Batten
The strip of wood that seals the joints where the siding panels attach on wood siding.
Channel
The trim can also be referred to as a channel. The siding is inserted into the portion of the trim or corner post.
Drip Cap
Before the siding is completed, an L-shaped flashing is installed over windows and doors to prevent moisture from leaking in where the siding and doors or windows meet.
Fascia Board
Fascia is a term used to describe the wooden boards that run along the top perimeter of a building, right beneath the shingles. Fascia Board covers the ends of the rafters at the eaves.
Flashing
Flashing is the thin layer that directs water away from the intersection of siding and roof parts. Metal flashing is usually made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper.
How To Pick The Best Siding Replacement Contractor?
It’s time to choose who you’ll hire after you’ve chosen your products, gotten price estimates from contractors, and looked through warranties. For many homeowners, determining which companies are good and which are bad is the most difficult part of the process. It is all about trust when it comes to siding contractors. Which contractor or remodeler will go above to provide complete transparency and take the time to walk you through the entire process?
Going through a thorough inspection procedure is one method that good siding contractors use to establish confidence with potential clients. You can’t be sure that the estimate or proposal you receive is accurate until your contractor takes measurements and inspects the whole outside of your property. Too many contractors will get away with low-cost estimates and obtain new work solely based on pricing. That may work for some homeowners, but the greatest alternative for protecting and increasing the value of your property is to hire the most reputable contractor.
