Five Signs a Home Needs New Siding

Siding is an integral part of every home, especially homes located in Massachusetts. Over time, it is only natural for siding to wear down and be at least in part ineffective. When siding is ineffective, it can make your home less comfortable, vulnerable, and more expensive. Here are five common signs a home needs new siding as soon as possible.

1. Damaged Siding

First and foremost, damaged siding makes getting new siding a no-brainer. For example, if your siding has holes, it is best not to ignore the holes. Damaged siding will not get better on its own and will only get worse if left untreated. The best thing to do with damaged siding is to be proactive. Damaged siding can lead to water damage and higher energy bills.

2. Energy Bills Continue To Rise

If your home energy bills continue to rise without a reason, it is likely due to your home having poor insulation. If your siding is contributing to your home’s poor insulation, your home will require more energy to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Another way of saying your energy bills will be more expensive.

3. Paint Fades Quickly

Siding can always be re-painted, but if the paint job does not last that long, it could all end up being a waste of time, money, and effort.

4. Siding Has Excessive Mold

Mold will hold back the appearance of your siding and will make it deteriorate over time. Small mold growth on your siding will not be a big issue but an excessive amount of mold should not be ignored.

5. Siding with Bubble Marks

Bubble marks underneath the siding is a telltale sign that the siding needs to be replaced. Bubble spots underneath siding are not easy to get rid of and can cause damage over time.
