What Are the Top Culprits Behind Common Siding Problems?

Siding

It’s important to be aware of the top culprits behind common siding problems so you can spot and fix issues before they can affect other parts of your home. Eagle Creek Siding, LLC, your go-to contractor in the state for exterior renovations, lists some of them below. 

Moisture Issues 

Your siding is meant to prevent moisture from entering your interior, but if it’s damaged or wasn’t installed correctly in the first place, water can infiltrate your home. Moisture that makes its way to your interior can create a damp environment that’s conducive to the formation of mold and rot, which can then affect other parts of your home. 

To make sure your siding prevents moisture from entering your home, only hire experienced contractors to install your siding replacement. Less experienced contractors, after all, are more prone to making costly installation errors. 

Wear and Tear From Weather Extremes

Of course, you also need to make sure that the siding being installed can handle your area’s climate. Washington state, for example, receives a lot of rainfall, so a homeowner living here should choose moisture-resistant siding that can also withstand hot and cold temperatures, like vinyl siding. 

Doing your research before purchasing new siding can help you pick the right one. if you don’t have the time to do your own research, consult one of your local contractors. 

Lack of Maintenance 

One of the factors you should consider when shopping for new siding is ease of maintenance. Keeping up on maintenance shouldn’t be a problem so long as you follow a regular maintenance routine, but if you’re on a tight schedule we recommend choosing siding that requires minimal upkeep. 

Don’t forget that inspections by a professional contractor are an essential part of any maintenance routine. Just make sure to vet potential contractors before hiring them.
