The Necessity of Replacing Home Siding


Often times the last thing that comes to mind for a homeowner when they are thinking about improvements to their home is the siding.  But since it is one of the top five ways to improve the curb appeal of your home, perhaps siding should get more consideration when a homeowner is deciding which improvement project makes the most sense.  For example, the remodeling of certain interior spaces in the home may be appealing to a homeowner, but only a few interior remodeling projects actually add any value to a home; siding always adds value as well as curb appeal.

So, how do you know when siding replacement is needed?  Sometimes it is just that the current siding is very outdated and makes your home look old and unappealing.  But many times the siding will also show telltale signs of the need for replacement. 

Frequent signs of the need for new siding include siding that is warped, rotted, cracked or loose on the outside or the appearance of peeling paint or loose wallpaper inside the house.  Exterior issues with siding such as those just mentioned are usually obvious, but failing or faulty siding can let moisture into the house which can cause the interior problems.  And moisture getting beyond the siding can also cause mold which is a potentially larger and costlier problem.
