Maintenance Tips for Keeping Your Siding in Top Condition
Once you’ve selected the right siding, regular maintenance is key to ensuring it continues to perform well over the years. Here are some tips to help you care for your siding:
- Inspect Regularly: Check your siding for cracks, holes, or loose panels. This is especially important after severe weather events like storms or heavy snowfalls.
- Clean Your Siding: Clean your siding regularly to prevent dirt, mold, and mildew buildup. For vinyl and metal siding, use a pressure washer with mild detergent. For wood or fiber cement, use a soft brush and mild soap.
- Repaint or Reseal: Wood siding requires periodic painting or staining to protect it from the elements. Fiber cement may also need re-sealing every few years.
