When to replace the siding?

When I bought my house 3 years ago, the inspector mentioned I will need to replace the siding within the next 5 years. How do I tell when it is time to replace? I don't want to wait so long that the house suffers any damage, but I also want to wait as long as possible.

That’s a great question! Watch for cracks, warping, or mold as signs that it’s time to replace your siding. Peeling paint and rising energy bills could also mean your siding isn’t insulating properly. Since you have a 5-year window, keep an eye out for these signs and consider getting an inspection soon just to be safe!
