Telltale Signs You May Need New Siding
Just as the interior of your home needs to be refreshed, so too does the exterior, and one of the first things a passerby will notice is the condition of vinyl siding. Like your roof, landscaping, and other exterior features, the lifespan of siding is determined by weather and other environmental conditions. Here are common signs you may need to replace siding:
- Siding that appears to be warped. If you notice vinyl siding that shows signs of warping, take a flathead screwdriver and gently poke beneath it to see how sturdy the layer underneath feels. If you detect signs of rotting – such as pieces of moldy insulation or wood that falls out – then it may be time for new siding.
- Mold on the exterior of the siding also is cause for concern.
- Issues inside the home could indicate a problem. Vinyl siding that needs replacement could result in moisture seeping through walls, resulting in mold or peeled paint.
Factors Determining Vinyl Siding Cost
Some estimates peg replacing siding at $200 to $300 per 100 hundred square feet, but the best way to determine the final price is to call the licensed home improvement experts at Budget Construction Company for an onsite inspection. Our site visit will provide an estimate based on damage, disposal and removal, the style of siding you prefer, types of insulation, and exterior features like soffits, fascia, and window channels. Interior damage may require new corner boards, crown molding, or other wood trim.
Popular Chicago Replacement Siding Options
Like windows and doors, new siding comes in a variety of styles. Some of the most popular in the Chicago area include standard vinyl siding, seamless vinyl siding, and siding options that mimic the texture and appearance of cypress, cedar, and redwood.
