Repair or Replace: What to Do With Damaged Siding

Ever looked at your home or commercial property and noticed the siding is a little worse for wear? Deciding whether to repair or replace that damaged siding can sometimes be confusing. Keep reading as The Badger Company shares some tips to help you out.

Understanding Damaged Siding

Siding damage is a nuisance. Let’s begin by understanding what it looks like. You might see cracks, chips or even holes on the surface, indicative of wear and tear resulting from severe weather conditions. Ignoring it for long could compromise your building’s structural health, so addressing it promptly is of the essence.

Factors to Consider When Deciding to Repair or Replace

Assessment of the Extent of the Damage

How severe is the damage? If it’s localized, a repair might suffice. But extensive damage often calls for a complete replacement.

Age and Overall Condition

The age and overall condition of the siding matter too. Over time, even the best quality siding can wither, becoming more prone to damage. In such cases, a replacement might be the more lasting solution.

Cost Comparison Between Repair and Replacement

Cost can directly impact your budget and long-term financial commitments. Depending on the scope of the damage, a replacement could be more cost-effective than multiple repairs.

Impact of Storm Damage

Storm damage can especially affect your siding. Strong winds, hailstones, heavy rain — these could wreak havoc on your property. After any storm, a thorough professional assessment is crucial. Even if there’s no visible damage, it’s better to have an expert’s eye look it over and pick up on anything you might have missed. And that’s where The Badger Company’s storm damage services can step in, ensuring your property is always in the best shape.
