A relaxing sunroom is the perfect addition to a home. It lets you enjoy beautiful thunderstorms, crisp summer air, and pink sunsets. However, it’s essential to know when this room needs new siding to ensure it’s functional and beautiful and your home retains its value. This article will cover the main ways to determine when to contact professionals for new siding.
Siding Condition
One of the easiest ways to determine if you need new siding is to look at it. If the siding is cracked, chipped, or coming off the exterior of your home, it’s time to call the professionals. The siding is usually damaged more easily when it’s older. However, if your area recently had severe weather, you may only need a few repairs.
Water Damage
Siding usually doesn’t provide adequate protection when it needs to be replaced, leading to water entering your house. Watch for signs of water damage inside your room. You may notice water stains on the wall. Mold growing inside the walls due to water damage will smell musty.
Energy Costs
Siding is one of many protective layers that help keep your home at a comfortable temperature. When your siding needs to be replaced, it slowly loses energy efficiency, often resulting in more expensive utility bills. If you’ve noticed that your bills are slowly increasing, contact a professional siding company for an inspection.
Renovations
More homeowners are upgrading their homes to improve energy efficiency and aesthetics. According to a recent home improvement study, many homeowners spent $5,000-$10,000 on home improvements. If you’re renovating your home, it’s essential to consider exterior upgrades like siding. New siding can increase energy efficiency and help your home sell faster.
Aesthetic Appeal
Old siding often needs to be updated. You can’t make stained, old siding look brand new again, so many homeowners opt for brand-new siding to increase the visual appeal of the outside of their house. New siding is available in various colors and finishes to help you get the look you want for your entire home, including the sunroom.
