As autumn slowly approaches the Chicagoland area, you may be spending some extra time outside enjoying the warm temperatures before things get chilly. As you are outdoors, take a walk around your home to check for signs of potential trouble for your siding. Replacing your siding is an excellent home improvement project to tackle before cold winter weather hits the suburbs, so if your siding has any of these warning signs, give us a call to talk about your options for quick replacement.

Hail Damage
We’ve had a rainy summer full of flooding, hail, and other severe weather situations. If your siding has dents or other damage caused by hail, don’t delay any longer in getting it replaced.

Signs of Animal Activity
Animals can cause quite the problem for homeowners when it comes to siding. If you are noticing that there are holes or scratch marks in certain areas of your home’s siding, it’s time to get it replaced and be sure that your home doesn’t become a home for cold critters this winter.

Loose Siding
Sometimes the warning signs for bad siding are easier to see than others. Check for loose or damaged siding boards or panels; if you find any are loose, it’s time for a replacement.

Outdated Style
Our customers replace their siding for a variety of reasons, and a curb appeal facelift is an excellent reason to pull the trigger on this home improvement investment. Siding comes in a variety of styles and colors; you are sure to find one that suits your preferences that gives your home an instant boost.

Mold
Old siding can be especially susceptible to mold. If you notice any mold on your siding, it is time to replace it.

High Energy Bills
Your siding is your home’s first defense for the environmental elements. If you are noticing that your energy bills are steadily increasing, or are a lot more than your neighbor’s, old siding could be the culprit. Replacing your siding can make your home more energy efficient, and give you a break on your monthly bills.

Our professional staff can guide you through choosing your new siding and setting up quick and friendly installation. Give us a call today and say goodbye to your old, damaged siding.
