4 Reasons for Your Home’s Siding Problems

Siding takes up a large part of your home, which is shown to your neighborhood and exposed to the elements. It may not be the simplest home improvement project to take on, but it is often necessary. With time, problems may occur with your siding. Proper maintenance and inspection is highly recommended. But what exactly do you need to look for when maintaining your home? Siding and residential roofing contractors from Dior Construction are here to help you figure that out.

1. Pests – One of the easier things to spot when checking your siding is pests and the damage they leave behind. Termites and powder post beetles might find their way into your wood siding and destroy the protection that it offers.

To stop and prevent pests from ruining your siding, it is best to use insecticides. Hot water running through a spray nozzle is also effective. It is also good to find the source of these pests. Check surrounding trees to see if they are housing these pests and endeavor to eradicate them without harming your trees or your siding.

2. Maintenance and Installation – A problem also occurs when there is a lack of maintenance. Regular inspections are always in order to make sure that your sidings are in top condition. If you are looking for low-maintenance options that still offer high quality, siding and roofing installation company Dior Construction offers fiber cement siding. This type of siding has little to no maintenance and is extremely durable.

Dior Construction also makes sure that only the best workmanship is offered to you for complete client satisfaction. Our team specializes in almost every type of siding, and you can rest assured that your siding will be installed correctly.

3. Moisture – Moisture is not an easy factor to check as it may already be an existing problem that is happening gradually. For this, you may want to check if there is any warping or buckling on your siding. This is when the siding seems to be peeling off or bulging in areas.

Moisture may also not start with the siding itself. Roof issues, particularly with moisture, can contribute significantly to the damage done to the siding. Having residential roof repair or maintenance may be necessary to check underlying problems in your siding.

4. The Elements – Uncontrollable factors include the weather. With storms, snow, hail and even the sun’s UV rays exposing your siding to different conditions, the weather will surely take a toll at some point. It is good to contact your local siding company to schedule an inspection for when your siding looks like it has weathered a few storms.
