When Should You Replace Your Siding? Here Are 6 Signs
Katelyn Lewis • December 13, 2022
If you're wondering how to know when it's time to replace your siding, look no further.
Here are the 6 signs your siding may be at the end of its days:
- Rot.
- Loose or Missing Siding.
- Pest Damage.
- Color Fading.
- Buckled, Cracked, Sagging or Warped Siding.
- Bubbling or Blistering Finish.
Take a few minutes to walk around your home and inspect your siding, noting any items that may require basic maintenance or more professional care.
If you've noticed any of these signs on your siding, you'll want to contact a licensed and insured contractor to assess it and provide you with an estimate. Call us today to schedule a complimentary estimate at 804-258-6300 or click the button below to fill out a quick form.

Unfortunately there are folks out there more concerned with a quick sale than with helping you with your home exteriors.
This Midlothian homeowner originally reached out to Retex in October 2023 for a roof repair for a leak in her kitchen as well as a roof replacement estimate. RETEX’s Andy Connor met with her, gave her both quotes, and we repaired her roof. She reached back out to Andy in March 2024, ready to move forward with RETEX on replacing her roof.
If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.
Bryan Rizo serves on our Repair Team Alpha. Alongside Julio, Bryan repairs shingle roofs and installs small flat TPO roofs on homes across Richmond and Fredericksburg. He’s been with RETEX for three years, and we’re blessed to have him on board.

Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.
This story began in April 2022, when a neighbor with many hats – a fellow Surreywoodian, a local pastor, and owner of an auto mechanic shop – reached out to RETEX’s Josh Lewis and Mark Erickson to assess his church’s roof and siding after experiencing hail damage.
