Can You Replace Siding in Sections?

If you think your house needs a siding upgrade, it’s best to understand whether or not it needs a whole replacement or not. Experts note that it is possible to replace siding in sections, but you should only do it whenever necessary. Today, one of your home exterior remodeling companies will talk you through the possibilities in this matter.  

When to Replace Siding in Sections

Issues rarely appear on a single siding panel or board. However, it usually develops due to debris or weather extremes. Address the damage to your roof, gutters, and siding immediately to avoid costly water damage. Prompt action is essential to materials made of wood because they are more susceptible to moisture-related problems like rot. 

While replacing siding in sections is possible and easy for lightweight materials like vinyl and even fiber cement, it can be tricky to remove a single board from the middle of the wall and replace it with a new one without harming the other panels around it. This suggests that it’s always beneficial to work with licensed and well-experienced personnel for this kind of project.

When to Consider a Total Siding Replacement

Like getting a roof replacement, a complete siding replacement is better if an entire wall or a massive part of your siding has been damaged. The affected areas can be removed and replaced with new materials. It is crucial to consider the longevity of your system, more importantly. If yours is several years old, the manufacturer might no longer produce the same product line. Hence, you can’t expect newer products to look like your existing siding. 

Preventing Siding Damage

  • Have your siding correctly repaired or installed to prevent other issues over time. Siding boards must have space between the siding and the inner wall to avoid warping.
  • Make regular inspections and routine maintenance to guarantee that your siding lasts longer than expected. Ensure to call a reliable contractor to do necessary repairs whenever needed.
