4 Reasons to Get Your Siding Fixed or Replaced

Curb Appeal

Updating your siding provides a major facelift to your home. Replacing your siding and increasing the curb appeal of your home are important aspects when maintaining your home. Upgrading and improving your siding is a renovation project that is well matched if you are also getting landscaping done on your yard. Having a complete remodel of your exterior can really improve how you feel about your home. While it may come with a rather large price tag, it is one area of home improvement where owners can see a big return on their investment, often recouping more than half the cost if selling their home. After all, many buyers will not be interested in seeing the inside if the exterior is in need of major repairs. It's considered to be a tell-tale sign of other potential issues.

Warping, Cracks, or Rot

These outer imperfections don’t just look unsightly; they can also be surface indicators of underlying problems. Cracks in the siding are a great place for moisture to enter your home, which does not mix well with the internal wooden framing leads to rotting. Rotting will reduce the structural stability of your walls. Cracks in the siding can also be an entry point for various critters and unwanted visitors. Similarly, warping or siding that doesn’t lay flat can be an indicator that something is wrong below the surface which should be investigated. Warping is typically caused from consistent weather changes throughout the year. How the siding is installed will either expediate this issue or prevent it. Our install team will properly size the lengths of siding before putting them into place.

Water & Weather Damage

Water damage, like rot or fungus, or missing sections of siding due to weather and high winds are good indicators that you’ll want to get a repair team. When weather damages your siding, then there is no longer a protective barrier against further damage. Depending on the severity, this could jeopardize the integrity of the structure and other building underneath as well. Insulation, vapour barriers, framing and sometimes your drywall can be affected by water damage that originated from ineffective siding. Once that starts to penetrate your home you are going to be looking at substantial renovation costs to restore your home. That's why our team at Siding Pros of Richmond in Surrey, BC is so adamant at helping.

Fungus, Mould, & Mildew

Signs of fungus, mold, or mildew growth anywhere in your home are never a good thing. You may see indicators of mold growth on the inside of your home, in which case it is advisable to quickly check the same area on the outside of your home. If damaged siding is to blame for the fungal growth on the inside of your home, then it is vital to have your siding repaired quickly. By the time damage has begun to show on the inside of your home, there are likely more repairs needed as well. This also creates the concern of health and safety risks to residents of your home. Mould and mildew are known to increased risk of respiratory issues. Signs of growth showing on the exterior of your home is the starting point before worsens.

We Install Different Types of Siding

Our team works with three main types of siding: vinyl, wood and metal. Each type of siding comes with its own benefits, depending on the style or aesthetic you are looking for. Choosing which to install is a personal choice and one that you will want to consider thoroughly because you won't be changing it often. Most siding will be up for years before replacement. An important factor to keep in mind is the amount of maintenance you would like to put into the upkeep of your siding over time. Each style of siding has various different features that will help you make this decision.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is perhaps the most popular type of siding across Canada and North America. It is lightweight, relatively easy to install, and comes in a wide variety of colours. Some homeowners choose a single color for their whole house, but you might want to pick various combinations to create a unique two-tone style. You also have a choice of horizontal or vertical installation. Vinyl is an inexpensive siding and can last a long time with relatively minimal maintenance.

Wood Siding

Wood siding is an impressive-looking siding that has been used for a long time. Since it does not require manufacturing in the same way as vinyl siding, it is one of the greener siding options and offers a very classic finished look. With different options in the types of wood and the styles of siding, it offers lots of room for personalization. One drawback of wooden siding is that it may require a bit more maintenance in staining or painting every few years to ensure it does not become susceptible to rot or pests.

Metal Siding

Metal siding comes in the form of both aluminum and steel siding. You can also get copper siding panels which would give you house a unique finish. It is an extremely durable and a very low-maintenance siding option. Metal siding is easy to install, naturally fire and pest-proof, and comes in a variety of styles and colours to meet the desired look. There are several different options for metal as residential siding such as corrugated siding, vertical siding panels with hidden or exposed fasteners, horizontal siding, & more.

Why Hire Our Siding Contractors?

Siding repair and installation is not a simple task. It requires specialized tools and safety equipment for conducting work at heights that are not easily within reach. It opens up the siding installer to different potential risks such as falling, improper use of tools leading to cuts or injury, and respiratory risks when removing mold or fungus. If you have never done any work on siding you can't always know what to plan for. That's why hiring a professional residential siding contractor company is recommended for the community of Surrey, BC.

When you hire Siding Pros of Richmond, you are hiring a team of qualified contractors who are trained in safety and installation techniques and who have all the tools to get the job done right. While you might think you can get the job done yourself, this often ends with more time being spent on instructional videos and searching for the right tools than actually getting the job done. If you don't complete the job in a timely manner you open your home up to risk by possibly leaving it exposed to weather conditions. This is where having the proper training can come into play.
