The Importance Of Siding

Most homes, including new constructions, are typically framed and then covered with particle board and a specialized wrap designed to retain insulation and offer limited protection for wiring and plumbing. However, both the particle board and wrap require additional shielding from the elements. That’s where siding plays a crucial role. Selecting the right siding is essential to ensure long-term protection and meet the specific needs of your home.

Signs You Need New Siding

The decision to re-side your home can stem from either necessity or desire. Like any building material, siding has a lifespan, and over time, it may need repairs or updates based on your home's requirements. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it may be time to contact Maccor Services for a free inspection and estimate!

Bubbling or Blistering

When siding is subjected to excessive moisture and heat, it can start to bubble and blister. This damage can expose the layers beneath the siding. If you notice any signs of bubbling or blistering, it is crucial to have your siding assessed and replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Weather Damage

Severe weather conditions such as hail, strong winds, or debris from major storms can lead to chipping, denting, or cracking of siding. This damage can impair the siding’s ability to serve as a protective barrier against the elements. If your siding has been damaged by the weather, it is advisable to replace it as soon as possible.

Outdated Aesthetics

Sometimes, there may not be anything particularly wrong with your siding—it’s still protective and durable. However, you might not be pleased with its style, material, or color. Outdated siding can significantly diminish your property's value, while an update can enhance both the beauty and worth of your home. Since siding will eventually need to be replaced, why not choose something you love sooner rather than later?

Dry Rot

Dry rot occurs when fungus feeds on moisture, causing wood to decompose. This weakening of the wood can compromise the siding's ability to protect against the elements. If you notice signs of dry rot, contact Big Fish Contracting for an inspection. They will assess the extent of the fungus spread and develop a plan to address the issue.

Cracking

Cracks in siding can allow water to seep into the underlayment of your exterior walls, potentially leading to significant water damage. While a few cracked pieces of siding can be replaced, if you notice multiple cracks around your home, it may be time to consider re-siding.

Loose Siding

Siding can become loose over time due to wind damage, settling of the home, or improper installation. Loose siding cannot effectively protect your home and should be either secured properly or replaced entirely if damaged.

Vinyl Siding

Engineered Wood

Vinyl siding is the most popular choice among homeowners due to its affordability and versatility. Made from a durable, plastic-like material, it’s commonly used on residential homes. Thanks to advancements in manufacturing, modern vinyl siding now closely mimics the look of real wood, offering enhanced visual appeal without the high cost or maintenance.

Engineered wood siding is a modern option that blends the natural beauty of wood with the low maintenance benefits of vinyl. Made from a combination of wood fibers and resins compressed into durable panels, this siding offers a stylish, versatile look that complements a wide range of architectural styles.

Wood

Metal

Wood siding is the most classic and time-honored choice, celebrated for its unmatched natural beauty. It complements virtually any architectural style and, with proper care and maintenance, can offer long-lasting performance while significantly enhancing your home's value.

Traditionally used in commercial construction, metal siding—made primarily from steel or aluminum—has become increasingly popular in residential design. Its durability, low maintenance requirements, and growing appeal of industrial-style aesthetics make it a smart and stylish choice for modern homes.
