Are you wanting to have new siding installed and are wondering if it’s the right time? Siding is an important part of the exterior of your home that helps maintain curb appeal while protecting you against the Eugene climate. In this article, we will discuss when to replace siding in Eugene, siding damage signs, tips on how to maintain your siding, and information about the siding services that NW Roofing & Siding Pros provides. Old & Outdated Over time, the Eugene climate and general wear and tear will cause your siding to deteriorate, fade, and have discoloration. Or, maybe your siding is outdated and isn’t exactly the current aesthetic that you are going for. Either way, updating your siding is a great way to increase the value of your property and allows you to customize your home’s exterior. Cracks & Warping Cracked and warped siding panels can compromise the insulation of your home and cause your energy bills to rise. These holes can allow pest infestations and a buildup of moisture to accumulate. Replacing your siding will help lower your monthly electric bills and keep regulating the temperature inside your home. Water Damage Depending on the type of siding that you have, your siding can undergo water damage. This damage ranges from mold and mildew issues to rot and decay. Typically, wood siding is the type of siding to experience the most water damage. Water damage issues must be dealt with promptly before hazardous or costly damage is done to the structural integrity of your home. Increase Maintenance Are you constantly having to clean or have your siding repaired? Are you noticing that the temperatures in your home are always changing or are there always drafts? If you’re dealing with increased energy efficiency concerns and constant maintenance, this could be a sign that it’s time to finally replace your siding. Tips on Maintaining Your Eugene Siding In general, if well-maintained and properly installed, new siding should last between 20 to 30 years in Eugene. That being said, regularly maintaining the exterior of your home will help expand the lifetime of your siding. To get the most out of your new siding, we recommend regular cleaning, inspecting for damage, and general maintenance of your siding, gutters, and landscape. Regular maintenance of your home and siding will help you proactively stay on top of any issues that could develop.
