Learn the signs that your home’s siding needs to be replaced including mold and damage as well as the benefits to siding replacement.
Your home’s siding may look firmly attached but it only takes one strong windstorm to leave your home’s framing exposed to the elements. From cracks, dents, and gaps to warping, molding, and mildew buildup, Maryland trusts Brothers Services siding repair contractors to get the job done right.
A seemingly small issue with siding can actually contribute to a number of different issues, especially when the weather conditions change. Loose or damaged siding makes your home vulnerable to structural damage and the need for costly repairs, while also impacting your energy efficiency and comfort indoors. We highly recommend home siding repair at the first sign of any damage to keep your investment safe, your family protected, and prevent more serious and expensive issues later on.
Your siding acts as a system that is strategically installed to act as a shield around your home. If it’s looking shabby, it is likely not protecting your home as it should, which can open the door for major problems from continued weather damage and drive up costs in a number of ways. You may be hurting your home’s curb appeal in ways that can have lasting repercussions.
Siding with gaps, cracks, or other defects lets moisture into the walls of your home, causing more damage than you can see from the outside. In our Maryland community, extreme weather can cover the spectrum of heavy wind, snow storms, rain, hail, and intense humidity in the summer. When your defenses are down even slightly, any change in weather can be a much more significant risk and contribute to leaks, mold, and other major challenges. House siding repair is vital for your home’s overall durability and longevity.
Siding helps regulate the temperature inside of your home, which directly impacts your energy efficiency and energy bills. Not all siding is created equal, so we use only the best materials for siding repair in Maryland to maximize temperature regulation during the winter months, such as brick and insulated vinyl. No matter what materials you choose for your siding, complete coverage is essential for proper temperature control, so catch any cracks or drafts as early as possible to keep your home fully insulated, control your utilities costs, and keep your family comfortable inside.
Not all siding issues are obvious. Watch out for these common causes of siding damage:
Some types of siding need to be regularly painted so they both look good and are properly sealed.
Moisture exposure can cause pieces of siding to bend and warp.
Wind damage is common in our area, both from the wind itself as well as the flying debris it brings.
Hail can seriously damage siding during a surprise storm.
The appearance of bubbles or swellings that push the siding up.
Holes and cracks in the siding that develop over years of expanding and contracting.
Lack of flashing underneath the siding leads to hidden rot that spreads for years.
Mold and mildew growth on the outside or underneath siding.
