Here’s a Sign It’s Time to Replace Your Vinyl Siding: Damage, Cracks, Splits, and Breaks
The number one factor to consider when deciding if it’s time to replace your vinyl siding is the condition of your vinyl siding. Here in the South Shore, we get four full seasons of weather – and some of those winter storms get pretty extreme. It’s not unusual for storm debris, ice build up and extreme temperatures to damage vinyl siding over the years. If your home has significant damage to the vinyl siding, including cracks, splits, and breaks, it’s a sign it’s time to upgrade.

Obviously we’re kidding a little bit – everyone knows vinyl siding doesn’t really go to the bar for a cold one – but if your siding is of legal drinking age or older, it’s time to seriously consider having new vinyl siding installed on your South Shore home. The expected useful life of better sidings is between 25-30 years – but that’s product that’s being installed today. The products from 30-40 years ago are really starting to show their age.

Curb appeal is important when you want to sell your home – but it’s also important you enjoy and are proud of your home’s appearance when you are not planning to sell. If you want to radically change your home’s appearance – or simply make it look fresh, clean and new, upgrading the siding is one of the most cost-effective ways to make that happen.
