Siding & Fascia

Yes, we provide a rendering service upon request. One of our project managers will invite you to our showroom, where you can see your home modeled using our advanced 3D software. This allows you to view samples in person and compare them with the renderings. For more details, please reach out to one of our project managers.

1. Cracks or Splits: Look for visible cracks or splits in the siding material.
2. Warping or Buckling: If the siding appears warped or buckled, it may not be providing proper protection.
3. Rotting or Decay: Check for signs of rot, especially in wood siding, which can lead to structural issues.
4. Fading or Discoloration: Significant fading or discoloration can indicate that the siding is aging and losing its effectiveness.
5. Moisture Damage: Look for signs of water damage, such as mold, mildew, or peeling paint, which could mean the siding is no longer waterproof.
6. Insect Infestation: Evidence of pests, like termites or carpenter ants, can signal that your siding is compromised.
7. High Energy Bills: If your energy costs have increased, it might be due to poor insulation from damaged siding.
8. Visible Nails or Fasteners: If nails are popping out or are exposed, it might be a sign of wear.

Discovery Process

1. Visual Inspection: Look for discoloration, dark spots, or fuzzy growth on the surface of the siding. Check areas around windows, doors, and where siding meets other materials.
2. Tap Test: Gently tap on the siding with a tool. If you hear a hollow sound or the material feels soft, it may be rotting.
3. Moisture Meter: Use a moisture meter to check for elevated moisture levels in the siding or underlying materials.
4. Check Inside: Look for signs of water damage inside your home, such as stains on walls or ceilings, which can indicate rot behind the siding.

Treatment

If the mold covers a large area, or if you’re dealing with extensive water damage, we will contract a professional mold remediation service. This will need to be completed before siding can proceed.
