5 Symptoms That Mean You Need New Vinyl Siding
When you’ve got vinyl siding, you expect it to last an extended period of time. And when you invest in high-quality vinyl siding, you can see a lifespan of up to 60 years. However, even the longest-lasting vinyl siding eventually needs to be replaced.
If you’re not sure whether it’s time to worry about vinyl siding replacement and installation on your Buffalo home or business, here are some symptoms you should check for in your existing siding.

5 Symptoms That Mean You Need New Vinyl Siding
Cracking: Over time, UV exposure as well as heat, cold, and freezing temperatures can cause your vinyl siding to become more brittle. This can lead to cracks, which can then lead to water infiltration.
Mold: If you get water in your walls, you’ll probably end up with mold in New York’s humid climate. This can impact the appearance of your vinyl siding, or can remain unseen in your walls, causing health issues.
Fading: Fading impacts more than just the appearance of your siding. A fading façade is a sign that UV rays are breaking down the material, including its ability to resist severe weather. This can lead to leaks and mold if not handled.
Frequent Repairs: If you’re having panels fall off on a regular basis, requiring repairs, it can be a sign that the mounting system is aging. This will lead to increasingly frequent repairs, until replacement is your only option.
Energy Bill Increase: Wait, what? Yes, if your siding is losing its insulative value, this can actually be a sign that it’s starting to fail. This is only true of vinyl siding that has a foam backing.
