5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Siding
Siding doesn’t always fail dramatically. Here are some subtle signs you might be due for an update:
- Cracks and warping: When siding starts to crack or buckle, you know it’s losing strength. The resulting gaps between the panels allow moisture to seep in, which can cause wood rot and mold growth.
- Peeling interior paint: Moisture that sneaks through damaged siding often gets into your drywall, leading to bubbling, peeling, or flaking paint inside your home. First, make sure plumbing or roof leaks aren’t to blame. If you rule out these causes, peeling wall paint could mean your siding isn’t doing its job.
- Mold growth: Dark streaks or fuzzy growth on your siding indicates moisture infiltration. Mold is a health hazard you should take seriously.
- Faded color: Siding that has faded after years of sun exposure may be UV-damaged. This means the material has broken down and no longer protects your home as effectively as it should.
- Frequent repairs: If you’re constantly fixing cracks, repainting, or dealing with rot, eventually it will be more cost-effective to replace the siding altogether.

Our Siding Installations & Replacements
Installing new siding is a big undertaking, but The Exterior Company makes it simple. A full siding installation usually takes three to seven days, depending on the size of your home and the type of siding you’re removing and installing. Do you need just one section replaced? We do partial installations, too, and we’re experts at color-matching, so it all blends beautifully.
Don’t stress about preparing for siding replacement — we’ll guide you through every step. You might need to trim back bushes or relocate outdoor decorations, but we’ll handle the rest. Once installation begins, we keep communication open, clean up after ourselves, and treat your property like it’s our own.
4 Benefits of Insulated Vinyl Siding
The Exterior Company uses only top-quality materials, with insulated vinyl siding being our most requested option. Here’s why this updated siding is a smart investment:
- Energy efficiency: Built-in insulation reduces heat transfer, keeping your Lancaster home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- Sound dampening: Extra insulation blocks unwanted noise like the neighbor’s lawn mower or nearby traffic.
- Durability: Insulated vinyl can handle high winds, driving rain, and temperature swings without cracking or warping.
- Low maintenance: Forget about scraping, painting, or sealing — insulated vinyl siding looks good for years with nothing more than the occasional rinse.

FAQs
What is the best time of year for a siding installation?
Spring and fall are ideal because of the mild weather. Even so, we install siding year-round. The Lancaster weather rarely slows us down.
Is replacing vinyl siding worth it?
Yes, especially if you’re dealing with damage, poor insulation, or color fading. New siding increases your home’s value and lowers your energy bills.
Can you paint vinyl siding?
You can, but you’ll need the right type of paint and some preparation. We usually recommend replacing over painting, especially if the siding is older or damaged.
