Your home's siding attracts and impresses your neighbors and visitors on their first visit. Damaged or worn-out siding is unsightly. Additionally, it threatens the structural integrity of your home. Don't wait until you reach the point of seeking replacement services.

Paying attention to the early warning signs will contribute to maintaining the structural appeal of your home. Read on to learn more about the signs to look out for:

1. Loose or Missing Siding Panels

Improper installation or several windstorms can loosen siding panels or cause them to fall off. If not addressed on time, these areas can become entry points for pests and water. Loose panels are also pure insulators, which can increase your cooling and heating costs. To be safe, check your siding after a significant storm. If you notice several loose or missing panels, consider replacing them.

2. Peeling Paint Inside Your Home

Peeling paint is a sign of excess moisture in your interior. Cracks and openings on your walls and siding can cause this. This allows moisture to accumulate in these spaces, leading to severe structural defects.

3. Bubbling and Blistering Siding

If you've come across homes from the 60s and 80s, you must have seen blistered or bubbled vinyl siding. It's a bad look, which has made many people avoid vinyl for their homes. However, there's a huge difference between old vinyl and its modern counterpart.

Modern vinyl is more durable, stronger, and resistant to extreme temperatures and weather swings. Vinyl manufactured decades ago can't withstand sub-zero temperatures or even hot sun. Therefore, if your home's old vinyl siding starts blistering or bubbling off, it's advisable to replace it.

4. High Energy Bills

Holes, cracks, and damage to siding can increase your energy bills due to heat loss. If you can rule out insulation failure and roofing issues, siding replacement might be your last option. New and efficient siding helps in saving you from unnecessary energy expenses.
