Siding Savvy: Quick Fixes for Common Issues
Your home’s siding does more than add curb appeal—it protects your home from the elements, enhances energy efficiency, and boosts property value. Over time, even the best siding can encounter wear and tear. Here’s a guide to tackling common siding issues and examples of how we’ve helped homeowners in Ohio refresh and protect their homes with expert siding solutions.
Common Siding Issues and How to Fix Them
- Cracks or Gaps
Cracked or gapped siding can let moisture and pests into your home. Fix small cracks with exterior-grade caulk, but if the damage is extensive, replacement may be needed. In Beach Creek, OH, we replaced old, damaged siding with a fresh and durable option, giving the home renewed protection. - Warping or Buckling
Warping often occurs when siding is installed too tightly or exposed to high heat. Ensure proper installation and inspect for hidden water damage. For example, in Byesville, OH, our team corrected improperly installed siding and replaced warped sections with precision. - Fading and Discoloration
Fading is a natural result of sun exposure, but it can make your home look aged. A professional cleaning or a new coat of paint can sometimes refresh the look, but installing fade-resistant siding is a long-term solution. In Mentor, OH, we installed new siding in vibrant colors designed to withstand UV rays. - Moisture Damage
Water can seep behind siding, causing rot or mold. Look for signs of bubbling or peeling and replace the affected areas. In Akron, OH, we replaced moisture-damaged siding, ensuring proper sealing and drainage for long-lasting results. - Loose Panels
Loose panels from strong winds or poor installation can be re-secured, but if they’re damaged, replacement is the best option. In Sugar Creek, OH, our team restored a home’s exterior with expertly secured siding that’s built to last.
