Why Siding Is Important For Your Home

The main purpose of your home’s siding is to ultimately protect the home, along with foundation and contents within it. Siding will defend your home from the elements from outside, which is important when it comes to Texas’s weather, especially during hurricane season.

If your siding is failing, water is more than likely going to find a way into the frame of your home. When this occurs, moisture becomes trapped and can lead to the wood rotting, mold growth, and other interior damage.

When your siding needs repair or it needs to be replaced, you can count on Standpoint Construction to get the job done. Contact our team of professional contractors today!

Indicators That Your Siding Needs To Be Replaced

Replacing a home’s siding might not be at the top of most homeowner’s to-do lists, but it may be necessary to do. Over time, being exposed to the elements outside your siding can start to crack, break, or simply gets old. There are specific things that a homeowner should be looking at when determining if replacing siding is necessary or not.

Do You See Mold & Mildew?

When you start to notice mold, mildew, or fungus growing on the side of your home, it is time to take action. Sometimes this doesn’t always require a replacement, but just siding maintenance. You can clean off the siding with a pressure washer, removing the mildew. If you do ignore the early signs of mold and mildew, it can lead to costly repair or replacement.

Find Interior Peeling Paint?

Excess moisture can cause your paint and wallpaper to peel. When noticeable peeling occurs around the windows and door fixtures, there could be an issue with the caulking. It is best to address this issue sooner rather than later. When not taken care of, it can cause the wood under your siding to rot.

Are Your Energy Costs Going Up?

Siding places a big role in your home’s insulation and energy costs. If you start noticing your cooling and heating bills rising, it is possible that your siding could be to blame.

Discovered Bubbled Siding?

When this happens to your siding, it is an indicator that water has been trapped within the siding. Water buildup causes serious concern since repelling water is a key responsibility of siding. If the buildup of water is ignored, it can cause more expensive issues in the future, so it is vital that it is dealt with immediately.
