Types of Siding Damage to Look for as Winter Ends

Now that winter season is drawing to a close, it’s a good time to inspect your home’s exterior, including your siding. In this post, the siding replacement and bathroom remodeling pros of JLR Home Renovation list the four kinds of siding damage you need to look out for as winter comes to an end.

Falling Lamination

Wood siding often features a protective layer known as lamination. During the winter season, this layer of lamination may wear off due to the heavy snow, which leaves the siding vulnerable to moisture and rot. If your wood siding’s lamination is falling off, contact a professional to rectify this issue immediately.

Moisture Damage

Moisture is the biggest threat to your siding. Look for signs of warping or peeling paint to determine if there is moisture damage on your siding. If there is, enlist the services of a remodeling contractor to repair or replace your siding..

Cracking or Breaking

If your home has vinyl siding installed, then look out for cracking and breaking. This can occur when there’s a sudden change in temperature, causing the siding to expand and contract, which strains it and can lead to cracking and breaking. This is a serious issue that may require siding replacement.
