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:


  1. Rot.
  2. Loose or Missing Siding.
  3. Pest Damage.
  4. Color Fading.
  5. Buckled, Cracked, Sagging or Warped Siding.
  6. 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.
