By shielding your property from Omaha’s weather, siding significantly impacts the aesthetic appeal and value of your home. This means that if it is damaged or poorly maintained, siding can make your home look unkempt and lead to various structural issues. At D&D Contracting and Home Improvements, our home siding repair and installation services are designed to boost the value of your property by addressing this aspect of your home.
How to Prevent Common Siding Problems
Moisture Damage
Water can seep behind the siding, leading to rot, mold, and mildew, which can compromise the structural integrity of your home. Regularly inspect your siding for cracks, gaps, or any areas where water might penetrate. Consider installing high-quality, water-resistant siding like James Hardie fiber cement siding.
Fading & Discoloration
Over time, exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions can cause siding to fade and lose its original color. To keep your home from looking worn and neglected, choose siding materials that are built to withstand UV rays and maintain their color over time. Regular cleaning can also help remove dirt and debris that might contribute to discoloration.
Pest Infestation
Insects and rodents can cause significant damage to certain types of siding, particularly wood. They can create holes and nests, leading to further structural issues. Using pest-resistant materials such as fiber cement or treated wood is the easiest way to prevent this problem from impacting your home. You could also keep the area around your home free of debris and overgrown vegetation that might attract pests.
Poor Installation
Improper installation can lead to a range of problems, including moisture infiltration, warping, and decreased energy efficiency. Always hire experienced and reputable Omaha siding contractors like D&D Contracting and Home Improvements for your installation. We ensure that your siding is installed correctly and adheres to all manufacturer guidelines.
