Replacing vs. repairing harmed siding
The siding that blankets the outside of your home not only helps keep your home looking good, it aids to safeguard it from the elements. However, gradually the siding might end up being harmed, needing to be repaired or replaced. Whether you opt for siding repair work or siding replacement depends mainly on what type of siding it is that you possess, and what the level of damage is.
Vinyl
Vinyl siding is a nice looking alternative to wood items. It does not need painting or much upkeep past the periodic hosing off. However, it is fairly flimsy and breakable, so any kind of impact on the siding can result in a fissure. If this happens, there really isn’t any way to fix the board; it needs to be switched out.
The good news is that so long as the rest of the vinyl siding remains in good shape, you can undertake siding replacement of the affected boards by unhooking them from where they snap in, and nailing a new board into place, while leaving the rest of the boards alone.
Cedar & wood
There are two kinds of issues that can occur with cedar shingles and solid wood siding. The first is gashes that may be marked into the wood by a pressure washer, hail stones, and other kinds of force. The second is rot caused by extreme wetness damages throughout the years. If your siding has been gashed, it may be repaired either by sanding it down and painting or staining it, or by filling deeper cuts with outdoor grade spackling, then priming and painting.
If the siding has already begun to rot, the rotting rows need to be replaced. It is not needed to change all the siding if only a couple of rows are rotting, except if you aim to attempt installing a new material.
Slate asbestos
If you have much older siding that appears to be slate, this is likely asbestos siding. The good news is that this home siding holds up very well. The problem is that you can not disturb it without having trained specialists at your side to encapsulate and eliminate it for you. If it is not collapsing, government standards suggest leaving it alone or painting it. If it is deteriorating, it should be replaced by a professional roofer.
Aluminum
Like vinyl siding if there are fractures or broken pieces, the easiest thing to do is to change only the harmed parts of aluminum siding. Nevertheless if you have small-sized gaps in the siding, this can be repaired with a touch of color-matched exterior-grade caulk. Smooth it on to fill up the gaps and fix the siding.
The decision
The vast majority of the time siding can be repaired rather than replaced. In the events where siding replacement is needed, often only the affected boards need to be replaced, and not the entire home. Solely major structural concerns or progressive rot that has already spread out throughout the home’s outside will call for the replacement of the entire siding. Generally, change your siding when you’re up for a change and make siding repair work in a timely way to take care of other small issues.
