Is it time to replace your siding?
To find out, stand away from your home and evaluate the overall siding. Look for warping, chips, cracks, holes, dry-rot or soft areas in any of the panels? How many of the panels are damaged? If a good portion of them are damaged you will most likely need to repaint your entire home to keep the exterior matching. This is the perfect time to look into entire home siding replacement.

❓ Answers to Your James Hardie Siding Questions
How do I know if my home needs a total siding replacement instead of a minor repair?
Inspect your siding for widespread cracking, chipping, warping, or soft areas caused by dry rot. If a significant number of panels are damaged, replacing individual sections often leads to uneven aging and mismatched paint colors, making a full siding replacement the most practical long-term choice.
