Warped panels are especially common in wood siding and are a sure sign that your home is ready for new material. You can check to see if any of the siding on your structure is soft or malleable, which would be a probable indication of water damage or pest infestation.
Rotted Wood
Wood siding can also experience dry rot which is harder to see with the naked eye. Dry rotting means that only the outer layer of the wood is still intact, so a thorough examination may be necessary.
Mold & Mildew on Interior
You may even be able to see that it’s time for new siding from the inside. Mold, mildew, and peeling paint or wallpaper suggest that water and moisture are getting through the exterior. If the problem is reaching the interior, it’s time to upgrade your siding.
If you are uncertain whether you need new siding, it’s best to call siding professionals that can test the areas. Experts in this field will know exactly what to look for and can give you an honest opinion about the state of your home’s exterior.
