15 Years Later, Is Your Omaha Siding Faded, Chalky and Just Plain Ugly?

Often builders (and sometimes homeowners) take the easy route when siding an Omaha home. They choose vinyl siding that’s cheap, maintenance-free, quick to install, and comes in a lot of colors. This decision doesn’t make much of a difference initially. It’s only after a few years that the cheap route starts to show. After 15 years, you’ve ended up with vinyl siding that’s faded, chalky and just plain ugly.

So what’s the appearance-conscious homeowner to do? There are a couple of options. First, you can paint the vinyl. There are latex-based paints available that will coat vinyl if you want to freshen up its appearance and/or change the color. This is somewhat self-defeating, however, since most buyers are drawn to vinyl siding because it doesn’t need to be painted. In addition, many manufacturers will void the siding warranty if it is painted – dark paint colors can cause the siding panels to expand too much and buckle.

The other choice: get the job done right, even if it’s not the first time. Call Waddle Exteriors for an estimate on top-quality vinyl siding from the nation’s best manufacturers, installed by our certified technicians. Our siding brands are designed for performance and durability. We offer a lifetime limited warranty on our replacement siding projects, so you won’t ever have to worry about replacing your siding again.

Warning Signs that You Need a New Roof or New Siding in Iowa

Houses don’t talk, but they do give clues when something is wrong. If you’ve been noticing that your roof doesn’t look quite right or there seems to be a problem with your siding, chances are your Iowa home needs prompt attention. Here are some clues to look for.

  • Roof. Beyond obvious leaks, there are numerous signs that your roof is aging or in need of repair. Keep an eye out for brownish water spots on interior ceilings and in the attic. Note shingles that are buckling, cracking or excessively worn; these are signs that they’ve reached the end of their service life and need to be replaced. Missing shingles leave your roof susceptible to serious leakage, so call for repairs immediately.
  • Siding. Vinyl siding protects the structural elements of a home from the ravages of weather, so cracks and punctures caused by hail or other impact should be addressed. Not repairing loose or damaged vinyl siding can allow water to seep underneath and cause severe damage down the road! Dry rot or any indication of moisture trapped underneath siding should be a red flag. For aesthetic reasons, you may also want to consider replacement of faded or warped siding.
