How Often Do I Need To Replace My Siding?
Katelyn Lewis • November 12, 2025
the siding of your home can be an important factor in protecting your home from the elements and maintaining its overall appearance.
How often you need to replace your home's siding depends on the material, but most siding products last about 30-50 years before needing replacement.
Here’s a quick look at the typical lifespan by siding type:
- Vinyl: 20-40 years (but tends to fade over time)
- HardiePlank: Up to 50 years, with minimal maintenance
- Wood: Up to 100 years, with regular upkeep
- Metal: Up to 100 years, though rare in Central Virginia
If your siding is showing its age, consider working with Central Virginia’s most-trusted, local siding contractor. Call RETEX at 804-352-6326 for your free estimate.
