No one wants to put money into a new home renovation, but sometimes you have to for you and your family’s safety.  Sometimes a part of your home stops working or just “dies” because of age or extreme damage.  The key is knowing when to replace a certain home feature before the damage spreads throughout your home.  The one feature of your home that you should monitor closely is your siding, so you know when regular maintenance is not worth it anymore.  There are a few signs you need to be aware of so you can contact Phil DiBello Roofing to install new vinyl siding for your home.

Dry Rot

Depending on the type of siding you have installed, moisture can easily infiltrate a structure and cause mold to form.  If you suspect your siding is rotted, take a sharp object such as a screwdriver to test how solid the material is.  If the object pokes through the material easily, then it is most likely rotted, and you need to get your siding replaced.  You need to replace it quickly because you do not want the mold to spread to other areas of your home.

Constant Re-Painting

Siding that is in good shape should only have to be painted every eight to ten years.  If you have to paint your siding once every four to five, then there are probably structural issues with your current siding.  If your siding is cracking, peeling, or chipping frequently, then you need to look into getting new siding.  Fortunately, vinyl siding from Phil DiBello Roofing doesn’t need to be painted.

High Energy Bill

Home siding should proper insulation so cool air or heat doesn’t escape and stays inside your home.  If your energy bills are abnormally high, then your home is probably not insulated properly.  You should look to your siding to see if there are any issues with your siding that is causing your energy bill to rise.  The best solution is for you to get well-insulated siding and then you should see your energy bill get back to normal rates.
