Although replacing the siding on your home may sometimes seem like too big of a project to tackle, it’s certainly an important one. Not only does high-quality siding give your home curbside appeal, but it also helps protect the building’s entire structure. That’s why the siding contractors at Superior Products Exteriors, Inc. suggest taking the time to assess the state of your home’s siding to scope out any potential problems.

If you’re not sure which siding issues require immediate attention, here are three to be on the lookout for:

• High Heating & Cooling Bills: If your monthly heating and cooling bills are suddenly through the roof, it could be a sign that your siding is not doing its job to keep your home’s temperature consistent. Although fluctuating temperatures could be the result of many structural issues, it’s a good idea to check the seams of your siding to ensure that air is not passing through.
• Fungus, Mold, And Mildew: If you happen to spot fungus, mold, or mildew on any part of your siding, there may be water passing through the surface. Because this type of growth can severely impact a home’s air quality, it is essential to replace the siding if it becomes a problem.
• The House Needs Frequent Repainting: High-quality siding will typically keep its shape and color for about ten years. If you find yourself repainting your siding often, it could be a sign that a replacement is overdue.
