You rely on your siding every day of the year. It protects your home from the elements and prevents costly moisture damage. Unfortunately, sometimes siding doesn’t perform up to par. Here are some of the most common causes when it comes to the failure of your exterior.

1. House Siding Quality

One of the first considerations is the quality of your siding. Low quality home siding is made of a lot of filler materials, making the siding wear out in a short amount of time. New siding installation is an investment, and cutting corners for a lesser quality choice will come back to haunt you later.

The good news is that vinyl siding strikes the right balance of quality and longevity. This is the house siding material that provides the best value while performing for many years to come.

2. Structural Problems and Rot

It’s critical that your house siding has durable structure. Otherwise, it won’t be able to properly protect your exterior against the elements.

Some common structural problems you’ll find with siding includes:

  • Chipping
  • Cracking
  • Loose panels
  • Sagging or melted panels
  • Insect and termite damage
  • Wood rot
Wood rot is perhaps the most ominous issue for structure. The rot causes the siding to break down, becoming nearly useless for protecting your home. Eventually, the siding will rot and crumble away.

3. Improper Installation

This is perhaps the biggest culprit of performance failure. You can splurge on the priciest siding, but without professional installation the exterior can easily fail. Professional siding installation ensures that the panels are positioned straight and flush to the exterior.

Keep in mind that varying levels of humidity cause siding to expand and contract. This must be factored during the installation process.
