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.
