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.
