Keeping your home in tip-top shape is hard work. There’s no shortage of decisions to be made, such as whether to replace or repaint the siding. If you’re a homeowner who’s facing the same dilemma, you’ve come to the right place.
Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, one of the leading siding and roof repair companies in the area, weighs in on whether it’s better to replace or repaint your siding.
When to Replace Siding
Ultimately, it comes down to the condition of your current siding. Major damage like dents, cracks, chips, and holes, whether from regular wear and tear or extreme weather, all warrant a siding replacement. If the portion of the siding that has sustained damage covers a large area, siding repair is out of the question since it would take more work and might do more harm than good. Moreover, if the material has already been compromised, it’s the wiser decision to just have your siding replaced.
When to Paint Siding
You can paint over your siding if it’s fairly new, in good condition, and you simply want to spruce up your home’s exterior. However, be advised that paint on wooden siding can still fade over time. If you want beautiful siding with long-lasting paint, ask your local siding and roof replacement companies whether they offer James Hardie® siding.
Making the better choice between repainting or replacing hinges on how well you can assess the condition of your siding. However, you should also keep in mind that whichever method of siding upgrade you choose, it’s the right decision if it achieves what you want to achieve — a more efficient siding and a more beautiful home exterior.
