How to Properly Maintain Your Home's Siding
Maintaining your home's siding is essential for both its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Here are some tips to help you properly maintain your home's siding:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean siding with a soft brush or sponge using mild detergent and water, or use a low-pressure setting on a pressure washer.
- Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for cracks, holes, or rot, and promptly address any issues.
- Repair or Replace Damaged Sections: Patch small cracks with caulk or replace damaged panels to prevent further issues.
- Trim Vegetation: Keep plants and trees trimmed to prevent damage from overgrowth.
- Manage Moisture: Ensure gutters are clean and functioning, and seal any gaps in siding to prevent water damage.
- Inspect Paint and Sealant: Check for wear on painted or sealed siding and touch up as needed.
- Prevent Pest Infestations: Seal cracks, maintain landscaping, and address signs of pests promptly.
- Consider Professional Maintenance: Hire a professional contractor for expert advice and services when needed.
By following these tips and staying proactive about maintenance, you can help ensure that your home's siding remains in excellent condition for years to come.
What Happens If Siding Is Damaged?
Damaged siding can have several negative effects on your home. For example, it can expose your home to the elements. Water can seep into cracks, causing structural damage and promoting mold growth. It can also reduce insulation, leading to increased energy costs as heat escapes in the winter and cool air leaks out in the summer. For these reasons, it’s crucial to schedule a repair or replacement at the first sign of a problem. Make sure you know what signs to look out for, so you know when to call Air Tite Exteriors.

- Visible cracks or holes in the siding
- Warping or bugling siding panels
- Peeling paint or loose wallpaper inside your home

How Many Years Does Siding Last?
The lifespan of siding largely depends on the materials used. Vinyl siding typically lasts from 20 to 40 years. Aluminum or steel siding can last up to 50 years if well-maintained. Wood siding can last for 20 to 40 years but requires more maintenance. Fiber cement siding, known for its durability, can last 50 years or more with proper care.
In addition to the type of materials used, factors that can impact the lifespan of a siding include climate, maintenance, and quality of installation. Make sure you get the most out of your investment by keeping up with routine maintenance.
Here are some of our best tips for maintaining siding:
- Regularly inspect for damage and schedule repairs promptly
- Paint and seal siding regularly to protect it from weather and pests
- Clean siding every six months to keep it in optimal condition
- Avoid putting harsh chemicals on vinyl siding
- Keep plants and trees trimmed back from your siding to prevent damage
