Siding Inspections: Protecting Your Home’s Exterior

Siding is the protective outer layer of your home, shielding it from the elements and contributing to its overall appearance. Regular siding inspections are essential to identify potential problems early on and prevent costly repairs.

Common Signs of Siding Damage:

• Cracks or Splits: Look for cracks or splits in the siding material.
• Blistering or Peeling: If the siding is blistering or peeling, it may be a sign of moisture damage.
• Rot or Decay: Wood siding can rot or decay if exposed to moisture.
• Loose or Missing Pieces: Check for any loose or missing pieces of siding.
• Fading or Discoloration: Fading or discoloration can be a sign of sun damage or weathering.

When to Schedule a Siding Inspection:

• Annually: Regular inspections can help identify potential problems before they escalate.
• After Severe Weather: Storms, hail, or high winds can cause damage to your siding.
• Before Selling Your Home: A pre-sale inspection can help ensure that your home is in good condition.

What to Expect During a Siding Inspection:

A qualified roofing contractor will carefully examine your siding, looking for signs of damage or wear and tear. They may also inspect the underlying structure for any issues.

Key Areas to Inspect:

• Siding Material: Check the condition of the siding material, looking for cracks, splits, or other damage.
• Flashing: Inspect the flashing around windows, doors, and chimneys for any leaks or damage.
• Caulking: Check the caulking around the edges of the siding for signs of wear or deterioration.
• Gutters and Downspouts: Ensure that your gutters and downspouts are functioning properly and free of obstructions.

Benefits of Regular Siding Inspections:

• Early Detection of Problems: Regular inspections can help identify potential issues before they become major problems.
• Preventative Maintenance: Addressing minor issues early can help prevent more costly repairs in the future.
• Increased Home Value: Well-maintained siding can increase the value of your home.
