Siding Replacement and Siding Repair Dallas

Your siding is designed to be hard and durable, but that doesn't mean it's completely immune to damage. Eventually, it will need a siding repair. Dallas homeowners who are aware of the key causes of damage can take preventative steps to help maintain their homes. Some of the common causes that call for a siding repair include:

• Harsh weather conditions (i.e., hail)
• Impact damage (i.e., falling branches, ladder use)
• Nail holes
• Improper installation
• Natural contraction and expansion caused by fluctuating temperatures
• Moisture damage (i.e., mold, mildew, wood rot)
• Pest infestations (i.e., termites, carpenter ants)
• Poor maintenance
• Age of siding

Hiring a skilled handyman team to tackle annual maintenance and inspections can prevent extensive damage that could lead to structural issues. However, if your current siding is over 25 years old, it's likely time to invest in a siding replacement in Dallas, TX.

Water damage can critically compromise the structural integrity of your home's siding. There are several steps you can take to properly maintain your siding and prevent this from occurring. Some of the steps you can take include:

• Inspect Your Siding: You should inspect your siding twice a year, looking for signs of damage, such as discoloration, warping, or cracks.
• Address Issues Immediately: If you notice damage—even if it's minor cracks—immediately address these problems with a Dallas siding repair service, as that will prevent water infiltration.
• Clean Your Gutters: To best maintain your siding, clean your gutters twice a year (once in the spring and again in the fall) to keep them from becoming clogged and overflowing.
• Install Gutter Guards: Gutter guards can help promote a free flow of water, blocking leaves and debris from building up within your gutter system.
• Ensure Downspouts are Positioned Properly: Lastly, you want to ensure that you're directing water away from your foundation and siding.
• Seal Gaps and Cracks: You can use exterior-grade caulk to prevent water entry around windows, doors, and other joints in your home's exterior.
• Apply Paint or Stain: Using waterproof paint or stains is a great way to create a barrier to prevent moisture infiltration. Keep on top of this, as you will need to reapply it every year or a couple of years to maintain the barrier.
• Install Moisture Barriers: Another way to create a barrier and prevent water damage is to install house wraps beneath your siding. These can prevent wind and rain from infiltrating your home.

Once a year, it's recommended that you invest in a professional inspection of your home's exterior from an experienced handyman. They're trained to spot problem areas that you might have overlooked and make recommendations on repairs or protection strategies to keep your home not only looking gorgeous but also protecting it from damage.

Are you hearing unusual noises, like rattling or thumping? Often, this is caused by a loose section of siding that's flapping in the wind, bumping against your house. But it can also be the result of a faulty installation. If the panels are fastened to your home too tightly, then they can't move as the building shifts and settles, or the material expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations. That results in the panels grinding against one another and cracking; they're the source of those unsettling noises.

If you're hearing unusual noises and can trace them back to your siding, it's a clear indication that you need a professional siding repair. Dallas homeowners count on Mr. Handyman as their local siding company. We can correct an improper installation and replace the entire panel if needed.
