Siding Installation Can Help Keep Your Home Safe from Hail Damage
We think of summer as sunshine and time outside, but here in the Front Range, it also means hail season. From mid-April to mid-September, the high elevation and topography create the perfect conditions for summer hailstorms to rapidly form and rain destruction down on homes, cars, and more. June is a particularly rough month, so you'll want to have peace of mind that your siding is ready.
The 4 Biggest Signs You Need to Replace Siding
Here are the signs your siding is likely to suffer moderate to severe hail damage:
- The siding is old and near the end of its lifecycle. This varies based on the material, but if there is consistent sagging and cracking, it's probably time for new siding installation.
- There are soft spots or rot. These usually indicate that moisture has already made its way under the exterior and likely caused extensive damage.
- Doesn't hold paint well anymore. Noticed peeling paint or having to repaint sooner than usual? That is a sign that the siding is weak and needs to be replaced.
- Your energy bill keeps rising, and you don't know why. If you've serviced the HVAC system, checked the appliances, and looked for drafts, but your utilities are still costly every month, failing insulation through the siding may be the culprit.
When Can You Repair Siding Damage?
Some issues don't call for new siding across your entire home. Often, damage can be addressed through targeted repairs. If hail hits one side of your house harder than the others, or if you catch a problem early, a repair may be all you need. A professional inspection after any major storm is the best way to know for sure what you're dealing with.
What Can You Count on with New Siding Installation?
When damage is widespread, or your siding is already showing its age, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment. New siding gives your home a fresh layer of protection built to withstand Colorado's climate.
Modern materials are engineered for impact resistance, better insulation, and longer lifespans, so you're not back in the same situation a few storms from now. You also get the chance to upgrade to higher-rated products that can reduce or even prevent hail damage rather than just surviving it.
