FAQs
Here are some questions that people commonly ask about siding maintenance.
What is the maintenance on siding?
To maximize your siding’s lifespan, it’s mainly about keeping it clean and promptly addressing issues.
Basically, inspect your siding once a year and check for signs of wear or damage. Make sure to address them quickly, as promptly addressing small issues keeps them from spiraling into larger, more costly problems.
In addition, check for any dirt, mold, and mildew. If you see any, remove them quickly, or they can lead to issues like rot, stains, and even corrosion for metal siding.
Also, make sure to check after severe weather for cracks or loose panels.
Those are the main maintenance tasks. However, depending on your siding material, there may be additional tasks. Here are the ones to take note of:
- Wood siding: You will need to repaint or restrain every 5 years or so to prevent moisture and UV damage. Also, check every 3 months for any signs of insect infestations such as termites. You should also get a pest control professional in to perform a professional inspection annually.
- Fiber cement siding: Use a hose to rinse annually to remove debris. Repaint every 10-15 years based on the manufacturer's recommendations. During your annual inspection, check and also replace the caulk around windows and joints to ensure your siding remains waterproof.
- Brick and stone veneer siding: if you’re using brick and stone veneer siding, they need to be power washed every few years to remove dirt.
- Metal siding: Look for areas where the paint has peeled off
Most of the time, the maintenance can be done on your own, but you will need contractors for more specialized tasks. These include:
- Structural assessments
- Moisture detection
- Repairs
- Repainting and restaining
- Energy efficiency enhancement
- Warranty preservation
How often should you replace siding?
Here are approximate figures for when to replace each siding type:
- Vinyl: 20-40 years
- Wood: 20-40 years
- Fiber cement: 30-50 years
- Metal: 40-60 years
- Brick and stone veneer: 50-100 years
- Stucco: 50-80 years
Look out for these signs that will let you know it’s time to replace your siding:
- Increasing energy bills: As your insulation gets worse, your heating and cooling costs will increase, indicating that it’s time to repair or replace your siding.
- Frequent maintenance: If you find yourself constantly having to perform repairs or repainting, it will be more cost-effective to just replace the siding.
- Interior wall damage: Damage to your interior walls such as the paint or wallpaper peeling off may be due to moisture seeping through.
- Extensive damage: When your siding is extensively damaged, such as large holes, warping, mold growth, or large cracks, again, it will be more cost-effective to replace than to repair the siding.
- Fading and discoloration: Finally, over time, the color is bound to fade, but if you notice the color has already severely faded, it’s a sign that the protective layer has been compromised, and your siding needs to either be replaced or repaired.
