When is a good time to replace your siding? That's a good question for the Seattle are as our weather is one of the wettest in the nation and our winters can cause many problems with your homes siding. For the most part you find 4 types of siding on homes:
Wood siding which is usually Cedar, Vinyl Siding and occasionally Asbestos siding and fiber cement. The typical life expectancy for cedar is about 40-70 years. A lot depends on how well it was maintained. The worse condition it is in, the more expensive and time consuming it will be to repair!
The most common siding material you will see on homes in our area is cedar. Cedar cared for properly caulked and painted or stained on a 5-7 schedule will be able to make it to the later part of our 70 year time frame, which is the best out of the materials you will find.
You will start to see the effects of weather on your siding because the siding will begin to crack and split. We also find the nails start to pop out as the wood expands and contracts. The paint will crack and peel off the siding and you may have layer upon layer of paint to deal with.
