7 signs your siding needs repair or replacement

Siding not only boosts curb appeal—it protects your home from the elements. But over time, it can wear out and become less effective.

Here are 7 clear signs your siding needs attention:

    1. Faded color or staining
      Points to sun damage or moisture intrusion.

    2. Cracks or splits
      Allow water and air to enter.

    3. Warping or bulging
      Usually caused by trapped moisture.

    4. Mold or rot spots
      Common at seams or lower panels.

    5. Higher energy bills
      Poor siding insulation can spike your heating/cooling costs.

    6. Frequent repainting
      If paint doesn’t last, your siding may be failing.

    7. Wind noise or leaks
      Loose or damaged siding isn’t doing its job.

What Should You Do?

    • Get a professional inspection.

    • Consider partial or full replacement based on the damage.

    • Use weather-resistant materials like reinforced vinyl or fiber cement.
