That's interesting that if your heating and cooling bills are high, it might be a sign that you need siding replacement. I have noticed an increase in my heating that I haven't figured out yet, and there is some color fading, so I might need some replacement. Perhaps working with a siding contractor is the best way to go about for me to get it replaced.

My dad enjoyed this article because he thinks that our house needs to a siding replacement. He's now looking up some contractors to have it replaced. There's mold in our siding and as advised in this article, it's about time to replace it.

It's nice to learn that if there are signs of fungal growth in the siding it might mean that it's time for a replacement since a siding should be able to protect you from elements as you've mentioned. Therefore, having a mold growing on it is a sign that it's not par for the job anymore. I'll be sure to keep that in mind and check ours for any of these signs. Our sidings are still relatively well maintained which is why it must be lasting for quite a bit. If I find any issues with ours, I'll be sure to have it replaced ASAP. Thanks!

I liked how you emphasized that the siding plays a huge role on the aesthetic appearance of the house, so it is best to choose a siding that matches it perfectly as that will also affect the market value of the house in the future. Since my parents plan on selling the house as soon as my sister graduate college next year, I think this advice will help a lot. I will share this with them for the home improvement project next month. Thanks!

My husband and I are interested in moving into a new custom home and we're trying to learn more about different kinds of materials that can be used on the exterior of the house. I really like the look of siding and I think it would make the house look really colorful and pretty. I love how you point out that siding not only plays a role in making the home look beautiful, but it also keeps it protected from the elements. I think my husband would really like that aspect.

My husband and I have noticed that our heating bills are higher, so we are wondering if it might be time to replace our siding. So thanks for letting us know that if we notice that the color is fading or the product is cracked, it might be time for some new siding. Since we've also noticed a crack in our product, we'll be sure to replace it soon.
