What Will Be Covered:
Maintaining your house can be a headache sometimes. Your home’s roof and siding is the 2 most important areas you need to have in top shape before anything else, which is why you need to know the 3 signs it’s time to replace exterior wood siding.
Termites can become a big issue when it comes to wood siding because termites and other animals love chewing on wood. That is why you need to know the 5 signs it’s time to replace exterior wood siding before it gets even worse.
Here are the 3 Signs It’s Time to Replace Exterior Wood Siding:
Wood Rot on Wood Siding
Wood rot occurs very frequently in wood siding, mainly because it is a very porous material. When wood siding takes in a lot of moisture through unpainted areas, that is when wood can start to rot over time and even attract termites/animals, further destroying the wood siding of a house.
That is why it is recommended to paint wood siding every 3-5 years to keep the wood from rotting and falling apart. If you do not know how to repair wood siding, you may need to hire a pro siding repair company.
Cracking
As explained above, wood rot in wood siding can cause many problems such as leaks and cracks. Cracking in wood siding is mainly due to moisture and overtime it will cause the wood siding to crack.
This is something that happens quite frequently with wood siding and the best way to fix it is to repair and seal up the area as much as possible.
Warping
Wood warps and bends if it collects too much moisture. The best way to prevent this is to paint and caulk open areas every few years to stop the wood from being exposed to the outside elements. If your wood siding is starting to warp, that is a very good sign that you may need to repair or replace the area with new wood siding or James Hardie Siding (never warps).

Replacing Exterior Wood Siding
If your wood siding is having any one of these 3 things, it may be time to repair or replace the area with new siding in order to stop further damages from arising such as animals coming in, leaks, and termites.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."
