When Should You Hire Professional Siding Contractors?

We recommend hiring professional siding contractors for any siding repair, replacement or installation project. There’s more that goes into exterior home renovation than meets the eye. But how do you know when to hire professional siding contractors?

If your siding has reached its average lifespan or becomes damaged and worn, it’s time to hire professional contractors to help. Signs your siding is ready to be replaced or repaired include:

• Lose or missing siding
• Obvious pest damage or an actual infestation
• Fading color
• Cracked, sagging, chipped or buckling siding
• Siding’s finish is blistering or bubbling
• Rot, fungus or mold on your siding
• Home energy costs are rising slowly but steadily with no apparent cause
• Home energy costs spike suddenly with no apparent cause
• Siding has become misshapen or lopsided
• A heavy storm recently came through and caused damage

Some projects may only require replacing certain areas of your home’s siding. Other times, all the siding may need to be replaced. Your project manager can help you understand what your home needs and help weigh your potential options.

Why should I hire siding contractors instead of doing it myself?

Siding installation is more complicated than it looks. Doing the job correctly and efficiently requires extensive training and experience. This can also be a dangerous project if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you want to ensure your safety and protect your investment, we highly recommend hiring professionals versus trying to DIY.

What is the cheapest siding to put on my house?

Generally, vinyl will be the most affordable siding. However, we don’t recommend choosing home siding based purely on what’s the cheapest. The cheapest materials don’t usually last very long before they need replacement, which can cost you more money in the long run. Of course, this doesn’t mean vinyl siding is a bad option – it just means you should steer clear of any materials from any company with suspiciously low price tags.

What’s the best siding to put on a house?

There’s no singular answer to the best siding, but we recommend going with high-quality materials from brands with positive reputations. Regarding which material is best, you should feel free to pick the one that best suits your functional and aesthetic preferences.

Does all my siding need to be replaced, or just some?

That depends. Sometimes, only replacing a portion of your siding is necessary; other times, a complete replacement is required. This question can be addressed during your free in-home consultation. We always ensure you know exactly what to expect before we begin working – no unwanted surprises!

Will siding installation affect my home’s interior or be disruptive?

Generally, a siding installation project won’t affect your home’s interior. However, it may be mildly disruptive because the outside work may cause items to rattle or banging noises. Your project manager will talk to you about what to expect before we begin work.

How long do siding contractors take to replace my home’s siding?

Professional siding contractors usually take one to two weeks for a whole-house project. The time to repair or replace a smaller section of your home’s siding will be considerably shorter. But a project may take longer than two weeks if your home is larger than average, needs to be painted or comes with unexpected repairs.

How often do I need to replace my home’s siding?

The average lifespan of your home’s siding ranges from 15 to 100 years. So, chances are high that you won’t need to replace your siding more than a handful of times during your lifetime. Regular maintenance can help siding last even longer. But be aware that storm damage and neglecting maintenance can require more frequent siding replacement.
