Why You Should Consider LP SmartSide® for Your Home Exterior

Written by Jim McGrew | Aug 6, 2024 9:56:37 PM

When it comes to home improvement, siding plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and functionality. Quality siding not only enhances your home’s curb appeal but also provides essential protection against the elements.

When Should You Replace Siding?

When there is visible damage.

Fading cracks, warping, and rotting are clear indicators that your siding is due for replacement. If damaged siding is left on your home, it can lead to more severe problems, including structural damage and mold growth. Over time, siding can lose its color and begin to peel. This not only affects your home’s appearance but also its protective capabilities.

Mold and mildew are present.

Persistent mold or mildew on your siding is a sign of moisture issues. This can pose health risks to your family and indicate that your siding is damaged, deteriorating, and no longer providing adequate protection.

Increasing energy bills without increased usage.

If you notice a spike in your energy bills, but you aren’t using additional utilities, it could be due to things like inefficient windows, siding, or insulation. Checking for all options allows you to identify any issues and install replacements with a more energy-efficient option for your home.

If you’re preparing to sell.

If you’re planning to move or sell your home, new siding is one way to significantly boost market value, especially if it’s in bad shape as is. Buyers are more attracted to homes with fresh, well-maintained exteriors.
