Grand View Roofing & Exteriors Q&A

Knowing whether your home's siding needs a repair versus a replacement depends on several factors. If you notice small cracks or damage to your siding, a contractor can most likely repair the area. However, if the issues go unnoticed it may lead to more extensive repairs (especially if outside elements have made their way underneath the siding). This is why it is important to act proactively when you first notice any issues.

Ultimately, if your siding is more than 10-15 years old, it may be time to consider replacement. Though you may be able to make repairs to areas as you go, you may end up paying more for multiple repairs as opposed to replacing the siding when it is necessary. This may also cause different levels of fading due to different levels of sun exposure, causing your home to have splotchy-looking siding.

You can trust the crew at Grand View to inspect your home's siding, assess any concerns, and recommend the best course of action. Give us a call today to schedule your free estimate at (856) 305-9883.

It is recommended to have your roof inspected once a year to maintain its durability and longevity. However, certain factors can necessitate more frequent inspections. Your roof serves as your home's main defense against severe weather, including heavy rain, high winds, hail, and snow. Therefore, it is important to check your home for any internal damage or leaks after major weather events to avoid long-term issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
