Protecting Your Home’s Exterior

At Fasto Roofing, we understand that your siding plays a crucial role in protecting your home. Here are five common siding problems to watch out for and how to address them.



1. Faded or Peeling Paint

  • Protection and Aesthetics: Paint protects your siding and enhances curb appeal. Faded or peeling paint exposes your siding to the elements.

  • Solution: Repaint or replace the siding to restore protection and beauty.


2. Buckling and Warping

  • Improper Installation: Warping and buckling often indicate that the siding was nailed too tightly, preventing expansion and contraction with temperature changes.

  • Solution: Reinstall the siding correctly to allow for proper movement.


3. Moisture Damage

  • Water Penetration: Moisture can cause wood rot, mold growth, and damage to interior structures.

  • Solution: Remove and replace rotted sections and ensure the siding is properly sealed.


4. Cracked or Missing Panels

  • Impact Damage: Panels can crack or be pulled off by wind, leaving your home exposed.

  • Solution: Regular inspections and timely replacement of damaged panels.
