Your siding isn’t only about looks—it’s your home or business’ first defense against the elements. When it begins to fail, it may compromise your comfort, energy efficiency, and even the structural integrity of a building. Here are five key signs that it may be time for a quote from Interior Roofing for replacement:
1. Cracks, Warping, or Rot
If your siding shows cracks, soft spots, or warping, it’s a strong indicator that water has seeped inside. Left unchecked, this can lead to long-term damage and expensive repairs.
2. Higher Energy Bills
Has your heating or cooling bill been higher than normal? Typically, utility bills show you what you paid for the same period last year. Old or damaged siding often loses its insulating ability, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.
3. Constant Upkeep
Quality siding should hold paint and resist wear for years. If you’re repainting or patching your siding every few seasons, replacing it may be more cost-effective in the long run.
4. Indoor Moisture Issues
Peeling paint, bubbling wallpaper, or mildew inside your home or business could mean moisture is entering through compromised siding. Replacing the siding protects both your walls and your health.
5. Faded or Outdated Appearance
Fading is more than cosmetic—it might mean the siding has lost its weatherproofing. And… if your siding is simply outdated, new materials can dramatically improve both the curb appeal and resale value of your home or business.
The Value of Modern Siding Materials
Click to read about how siding options today are more practical, firesafe, and cost-efficient than the wood siding that was commonly used throughout Penticton and the South Okanagan. New siding products in vinyl, fiber cement board (i.e.. Hardie Board), and engineered wood are designed to resist moisture, pests, and fading, while offering the benefits of low maintenance and long lifespans. Upgrading to modern siding not only protects your home but can also give you many style choices to match your building’s architecture while modernizing the look and appeal of your business property or home.
